- kelipso 4y agoCriticizing North Korea here is like saying water is wet or something. It's so incredibly boring. People aren't trying to "shut down criticism", they're trying to have an interesting conversation, hopefully without some bore saying "you do know that water is wet, right??" over and over again.
- Salgat 4y agoReread the original conversation. It was about how North Korea was able to achieve some rather impressive technical achievements. It wasn't until the conversation was derailed by a "well akshually NK is not that bad" that we started having to go in detail on why NK is a, yes, poor and backwards country. I didn't want or expect to have to discuss this, but if someone wants to challenge the notion, I'm going to respond.
