OK, so it’s not really a hot take, but whatever liberals think they ”know” about the DPRK comes from a 2010 Top 10 Reasons North Korea Is The World’s Craziest Dictatorship article from Cracked.com or that racist song from Team America: World Police (I could go into that movie too, but this thread isn’t about it). They seriously think the DPRK is a hivemind who believe Kim Jong-Il hit 18 hole in ones (lol I almost wrote home runs, should’ve honestly just left it) the first time he went golfing.

Really, even if everyone in the DPRK believed that, would it be any worse than every burgerlander thinking the slave owning founding fathers loved Democracy and Freedom?

    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.
