How can you say North Korea is good? Don't you know they have to push their trains to work? You even get executed if you have the same haircut or a different haircut than WPK's General Secretary. They're so evil that they'll execute people with a 76mm cannon and then sew the mist back together and medically resurrect the person and re-execute them and then they're forced to go back to work afterwards.

North korea is a great country, and anyone who thinks differently belongs in the gulag

Do any genuine DPRK defenders have sources or statistics to help me break my brainwashing or whatever because all I have ever seen are reasons to oppose and people saying yeah but what if that's not actually true.

For absolute beginners to learning about Korea, I like Nodutdol's US out of Korea toolkit. It gives you background on Korea, from the Joseon dynasty to Japanese colonialism to the split to today. For specifics on the DPRK I can offer some helpful resources, but without knowing what in particular you're talking about I'd just have to dump books on you, and that's not particularly effective. It's better to either follow a course like Nodutdol's, or to study specific areas of interest.

if your attention span has been ruined by social media like mine is; madeline pendelton does short form videos that touches on it and she backs it up with a linktree full of sources and north korea seems to be her favorite topic. she's also on almost all of the social media platforms and you should be aware that her videos comment are mostly filled with hate from brainwashed people.

she also does a twich channel where she goes over the current news and explains the propaganda in it; i watch it everyday.

here's the most recent video of hers that i shared: https://www.tiktok.com/@madeline_pendleton/video/7610963982198770975
