North Korea

honestly, yeah it sucks, but this is the lifestyle the people are forced into. i can feel sorry for those who have no other ideas of ways to live that arent starvation, and yeah being ruled over by this kind of mindset and government is terrible no matter where you are, but ill give credit where its due and state that the fact that the country has been kept around for as long as it has with this total blacklisting of outside influence is a feat to give credit to. gotta give the devil his due when its needed.

plus, i don't know if a sudden rapture of western and eastern information would be good for people. imagine how many would commit suicide over something like hearing that every single thing they were taught, grew up knowing, and experienced was a lie told to them by a dictator, and other things. sometimes you have to consider if people can handle that kind of a big reveal. how'd you react if your entire world was basically turned on its head and shattered to bits? yeah the people deserve to live a life better than this oppresive one, but counterly the american way of life has its flaws too, as does every other aspect of other societies, so its not a right and balanced thing to make a statement like "these people should be freed."

and yes my thoughts are a bit jumbled, i apologize.
