What’s wild to me is that someone would think that it’s a good idea to give talks about anything in North Korea, a regime that has murdered and starved millions of people.
Also, the people of North Korea do not have access to the internet or Youtube as far as I know.
- Bayart 5y agoPeople who need access to the internet do have it. I think they route through China.
- hypervisorxxx 5y agoYup. Only a few businessmen who work for the North Korean dictator, and they are up to no good. Anyone else using the internet not doing work for the North Korean government would be murdered if caught. In North Korea they have the "intranet" which is an internal network of learning resources you can use at the local North Korean libraries and schools! It is all propoganda.
- hypervisorxxx 5y agoPeople who "need access" doesn't everyone brainwashed by an authoritarian dictator need access to the internet to help themselves escape? Not everyone who needs access has access. A select few who are at the mercy of the dictator do to do his work. Some people have been known to try to sneak across the border and meet Chinese people in the woods to exchange goods. Some people send balloons with notes from the outside world over the border to reach people inside. Perhaps a select few have some garnered enough information about how to use the internet without getting caught they are willing to risk being murdered to do so if they find something dire enough using the internet for but to say people who "need" the internet fire up wiregaurd and call it a day before watching their daily stream of YouTube influencers is an understatement to say the least...

- Geee 5y agoWhy would they be at a blockchain conference if they don't have access to Internet?
- antonzabirko 5y agoSorry how is that regime any different from the US? No idea what he had to gain by travelling to north korea, but more power to him. If it's public info then yeah this is a sham considering that the international financial system is a cartel.
- mdoms 5y agoI do not believe that you're asking "how is the NK regime different to the US one" in good faith.
- antonzabirko 5y agoI'm talking about what he said, not holistically.
- selfhoster11 5y agoI really don't see how that's am elaboration of the previous statement.
- antonzabirko 5y agoIt's not an elaboration -- I never elaborated because the previous person was confused about what I was referring to. Essentially the US does a lot of things well, like freedom of speech and private property. What it doesn't do well is genocide/murder/starvation, just like DPRK.
- tryingtogetback 5y ago"Sorry how is that regime any different from the US?" - is that an honest question? Do you really not know how western democracy is different from dictatorial and oppressive regimes in Russia, China, or North Korea?
- antonzabirko 5y agoI already replied to this exact question lol. They are comparable at least in terms of death and starvation. In fact, NK has some catching-up to do.
