    Lol imagine being so brainwashed that you don’t uncritically believe when USAID funded outlets tell you North Koreans are so genetically intellectually inferior that they honestly believe Kim Il Sung is god, was the best sportsman ever at everything, and he’s immortal now? Dude they literally make them pull trains by hand because they’re so poor, I heard somebody say it!

    All the hours and weeks and months and years of footage is all faked tho

        “Democracy” has nothing to do with “free healthcare” or any of those things listed. Democracy only means that the citizens vote. They can vote for stupid/bad things but it’s still a democracy. Similarly, a dictatorship that does some good things is still a dictatorship

          If a country doesn’t have free healthcare, its clear as day that the people do not rule there

            No, the People might just be stupid. You see, many people are gullible and get convinced easily by rallies of some rich politicians. Sometimes, they might even believe that one day they will be as rich as them, and so they see something good for the rich as something good for them. But, unless the people are threatened to vote, or the polls are manipulated, it’s still democracy

              Democracy is when voters are undereducated and lied to by politicians in order to vote against their own interests, and not democracy is when voters are directly threatened. You are very smat.

            What you have in America, I don’t live there. But yes, I do, just a bad one. And if you believe in this meme I raise you another one: would you consider Kim Jong Un a democratically elected leader?

              Not even gringos think they have a democracy lmao. And if you do, your opinion of what a democracy is should only be used to consider the opposite.
