    Just read first-hand accounts from the many people that have escaped the country

    Those accounts aren’t credible because at any time they can called a spy and imprison. Also because they include laughable claims like that there is only 1 train in North Korea, which they have to pull by hand and “In North Korea, every room has to have a portrait of the Kims. The inspector comes out of nowhere in the middle of the night and touches the portraits. If they see any dust… you can get executed.”

    The same person making those claims also says their friends entire family was executed in a stadium for watching TV.

    If they literally make it illegal for their citizens to have real Internet

    Alternatively, they’re just trying to avoid the US using the internet to feed their citizens propaganda and organize a color revolution, as they constantly do to all of there adversaries.

    I continue to have no judgement on what NK is like because again, no reliable data.
