I see the outrage, but I don’t see it at the level of NK, at least not in Western media or governments.

I meant the faux concern over NK is evergreen unlike some other causes such as the ones I mentioned.

As soon as (if ever) NK joins the fold of Western-aligned liberal states, the media machine will spin up and it will cease to be maligned, and you will move on to the next bogeyman.

We must be looking at different things, because right now I see about a thousand times more criticism leveled at Israel than at North Korea. (Making no statement here about who deserves it.)

If NK ever were to join the fold of western-aligned liberal states, it will probably be accompanied by no longer behind quite such utter bastards to their people and a cessation of maligning would be entirely justified.

I just don’t get it. Of all the things to complain about propaganda in the world, why North Korea? This is one where they get it right.
