I’m not sure what you mean by ‘good’. May I suggest you may have meant ‘there are probably people who in the deepest of their heart disagree with state policy’

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘good’.
May I suggest you may have meant ‘there are probably people who in the deepest of their heart disagree with state policy’.
If the state can execute your family on a whim because somebody stepped out of line you keep generally those sentiments well hidden.
But _liking_ the policies of the state where you live in is generally not considered a vice. So if a person who disagrees with the NK state is ‘good’ this implies people who agree NK state are ‘bad’ and I don’t think that’s the right framework when discussing large populations of nation states.
- infecto 2y agoIt’s mostly just a hand-waving acknowledgment that, yes, I’m broadly categorizing everyone as a North Korean state actor. I get that there are gradients of belief, some coerced, some true believers, but in the end, they’re all still acting on behalf of the state, one way or another.
