What is it with people desperately trying to demonise the DPRK as if you you weren't fed obvious lies since you were born?

I'm willing to accept that there's been some exaggerations made about how bad the DPRK is.

That doesn't mean I think it's good.

And obviously false memes like the OP don't convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

That doesn't mean I think it's good.

It's a state formed as a result of an anti-colonial movement fighting for liberation against your empire. Your empire killed millions of its people, destroyed what they had, and currently maintains a genocidal blockade against it.
Despite all that, it manages to hang on, and, considering the harrassment and assault from your empire, it also manages to provide its people with much better living standards than what one would expect from many states that you do not complain about (and which are not targets of the same sort of blockades). Also, you just plain haven't even brought up any wrongdoings that the DPRK has supposedly done.

Overall, I would say that that does make the DPRK fairly good as far as states go.

And obviously false memes like the OP don't convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Either you are unfamiliar with the resolution in question and are assuming that the OP lied (without you double-checking), or you know that the OP didn't lie and are trying to engage in spreading your genocidal empire's false propaganda.
