North Korea is effectively an abusive cult in the form of an entire nation. It's amazing that such a thing can exist, and when I really think about it the existence of something like North Korea raises disturbing questions about the nature of human consciousness. How can we claim to have free will or to even have consciousness at all if something like North Korea can actually exist?
