not a hot take- that's 100% true
You have to be deeply stupid, and likely racist to believe millions of other people you've never met truly believe that their leader does not have an asshole, and does not defecate.
Perfect display of western superiority AND racism

"nOrTh KoReA is a fascist communist communazi hellscape" brought to you by the "Isreal totally isn't doing a genocide and Ukraine doesn't have a Nazi problem" crowd
They're all brainwashed into hating the US!!!

I can confirm that when talking to even the most left-leaning liberal (who wants free healthcare and that kind of socialism), even saying that not all accusations made against the DPRK are true (if I say “North Korea was an industrial powerhouse together with Japan in the 1960s and wasn’t that bad until the 1990s famine”) will turn you into some crazy madman in the eyes of the liberals. You’ve been warned.
In North Korea they have no power so they make the rats pull the trains, but the rats are very weak so they die. Then the train passengers eat the rats that died and take their place to pull the train to get home. 
And then the passengers die, and the rats eat the passengers, and then the rats pull the trains.
Kim jong un hit 18 hole in ones with 17 strokes
I want to believe
This is true, I saw it happen
It's real I saw it happen
The Interview is a documentary to westerners. Replace whatever education kids are getting about North Korea with this movie and nothing will change.
The racist idea that asian people are a bunch of drones who unconditionally bow down to and obey their all-powerful, god-like despot is basically one of the oldest racist stereotypes in existence.
The DPRK was always a country that never made sense to dislike even when I was a young lib. I will say I don’t really understand why they seem to revolve around a hereditary system if someone could explain that.
Kim Il Sung was a great anti-imperialist leader of the country for nearly five decades, and played a major role in developing and industrializing the DPRK. People don’t believe me when I said that North Korea - after all the bombing during the Korean War - was an economic powerhouse in Asia in the 1960s on par with post-war Japan. South Korea wasn’t even remotely comparable to the North at the time.
I had written a comment about North Korea’s economy in this comment here if you haven’t read it and need some background information.
Kim Jong Il was really unfortunate to have inherited the country at the worst of times: 1994 was the start of the failures everywhere in the DPRK’s economy, starting from the collapse of the USSR, which the DPRK relied heavily on for fuel import and trade, then a series of unprecedented floods and droughts destroyed much of the crops and agricultural production in the country, all of which had rendered the DPRK at the time a politically highly unstable situation.
You can imagine why gripping on to political power was so important in the 1990s as their economy turned into complete mess, especially being able to witness what was happening to Russia in real time. It hasn’t been doing well since then but you can imagine any misstep is going to make the country far worse (think about all the other failed states across the Global South whose leaders had not been able to keep the society from descending into chaos).
whatever libs say about the DPRK is white noise*
It's nuts what people will believe that other people believe.
at first I thought "holes in one" but I think you got it right, it's a weird one
Kim Jong-Il hit 18 hole in ones the first time he went golfing.
I can't prove it but I'm certain that these stories about the leader are the DPRK's version of Chuck Norris jokes.
