Hello @cole@lemdro.id you seem to have conveniently ignored my response? Does every american have equally valid input on america and its politics? When the next person says “I know someone from Britain and they said London is a no go zone” should I take them automatically seriously? You dated a Korean, so what? Why should anyone take this one person’s take over serious investigation of the matter?

It’s not an intentional snub, I just answered this question in a different reply. I don’t know with enough certainty to list out all the issues, but the biggest one that sticks out to me is information control. The government restricts citizens access to the Internet (among other things). I have talked to people from Russia, people from China, etc online. But I have never talked to someone from North Korea and that is a pretty big red flag for me. I pretty strongly believe that anybody who tries to control the flow of information amongst supposedly free people is not a “good guy”. Yes, this includes the United States, UK, China, etc. Many do so to some extent and I am against all of them for that. But, none so draconian seeming as the DPRK.
