    I’ll go out on a limb and say that the country that needs information smuggled in, is likely closer to hell on earth than not.

      Counterpoint: as a country subjected to genocide and extreme sanctions, where the world’s empire maintains a colonial foothold right on their border and is constantly trying to send propaganda over, it’s understandable why the DPRK would be restrictive about that. The DPRK isn’t just censoring stuff for fun, but because they are still technically at war, and are only still a country likely because they have nuclear deterrence. They are impoverished, but like Cuba their resources stretch much further thanks to their socialist system.

      and out, that’s really the key problem, we don’t know shit about it, because literally propoganda is all we have. China at least we have some level of communication and shared dialog between regular american citizens and regular american chinese citizens.
