I'm still learning about it, but it seems to be based, similar to the USSR and China, in trust that the government will take into consideration the opinion of the masses, as opposed to a direct lever of control.
I have seen her speak, and she is obviously pulling stories out of her ass. But she is far from the only person with stories of oppression.
Do you think she's an anomaly? If you think there is veracity to any of these "Kim Jong Un executed my uncle 400 times with an anti aircraft gun" stories, then quit vagueposting and pull one up so we can examine it as evidence. So far everything you've responded with is vapor, just a parade of Maybe and I Don't Know and Some People Are Saying. If you have evidence, pull it out, because right now you're operating on the level of "I've heard that many people are talking about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction."
Not all discourse has to be so hostile my guy. It's ok to have questions, hesitations, and confidence levels in-between 0 and 100. It's not hard to find testimonies. As I've said I genuinely don't know how to determine which, if any, are unbiased.
The ROK giving money for the testimonies and other financial incentives make literally all testimonies sus. The claims being so extraordinary also means we need extraordinary evidence to believe them, the burden of proof isn't on the DPRK, since you can't realistically prove a negative.
