I hate this attitude of superiority like they don't know what the fuck's going on. They're living it, bro.
What the fuck have you've been smoking?

North Koreans have very limited knowledge of the outside world. They're not entirely ignorant of it.
But remember that less than 100 years ago Europe was manipulated with hateful propaganda to the extent it was.
Remember that even currently, with access to free interet, there are people who still refuse basic facts like the Earth not being flat.
And you don't think North Koreans may have been manipulated into thinking that we aren't actually "free western democracies", but evil monsters who rape babies while lying about "respecting human rights".
Like it is exceedingly fucking arrogant of you to assume that because "they're living it bro" that they knows what's going on. Like saying that if a woman is in a relationship where she gets beaten and raped that they chose to do that and that "they'd know where to get help if they wanted it."
What the fuck is wrong in dropping in information about the basic tenets of what we westerners claim to base our values on; valuing human rights in general, freedom, equal rights, democracy?
