If someone asked me to criticize KJU, that would be the end of the conversation. I criticize people on my own or not at all. I suppose I would become a false positive.
- pmarreck 1y agoSounds just like something a North Korean would say
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoHonestly, sounds like a red flag if even a legitimate applicant is unwilling to voice an opinion on the Kim regime.
- denkmoon 1y agoWithout context it seems like a weird trick question, like phishing tests and most corporate training.
- codedokode 1y agoReplace North Korean leader with Biden and Trump, how that sounds?
- jfengel 1y agoPretty sure a huge number of Americans would happily curse both with the fire of a thousand suns.
- blackoil 1y agoOn demand? Also will this trigger some discrimination law?
- Spooky23 1y agoYou can legally discriminate on the basis of political views.
- CoffeeOnWrite 1y agoIn California?
- deathanatos 1y ago(IANAL.) Whether that is legal depends on jurisdiction, in the US. CA has protections, for example.
- yard2010 1y agoIt sounds like you are supporting those villains, justifying their atrocities.
- jfengel 1y agoI don't consider myself to know enough to criticize. Of course what little I do know is all negative. But I've paid only limited attention, and I get nothing from primary sources. I expect the same from practically everyone -- perhaps excepting South Koreans who at least speak the language. I'd consider it good judgment to say that you just can't meaningfully answer the question. I'd read a statement you hand me, if you thought that would suffice. But I'll admit I'd consider that weird and likely useless.
- smohare 1y agoIf you know so little about a major, long term authoritarian dictatorship, consider this evidence you need to educate yourself.
- wltr 1y agoThis was dead because?
- ghssds 1y agoBecause it was a low-effort, uselessly snarky answer to a valid opinion.
- SV_BubbleTime 1y agoEspecially when the reality is everyone “knows” so much that isn’t true or that is true but they could never personally confirm it. I am not 100% that North Korea exists. I’m pretty sure, but I can’t KNOW it without going there. So while dictators are bad, the Kim’s are probably bad, sorry if I don’t go to the deep end repeating everything that someone else taught me.

- snickerbockers 1y agoPlease do not foster this concept that I have a responsibility to proactively criticize ever fascist regime of the past century in order to dispel implicit notions that I am "supporting" them in vague undefined ways.
- AStonesThrow 1y ago[dead]
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoTo be basically informed about, yes. An educated person should probably have a view about broad topics like North Korea, and whether Pyongyang is more worthy of criticism than praise. And I don’t want to work with someone who is open to the morality of the Kim regime.
- bigDinosaur 1y agoIt isn't your place to know the political sympathies of everyone, nor is it your place to decide what constitutes 'support' about every possible issue. It is simply not viable to do this if you want to work together with large, diverse groups of people. There are people with objectionable but private views in the world and in the workplace, deal with it. This is entirely separate from people's public views.
- bigDinosaur 1y agoI would find that question extremely weird in a job interview for a normal job, and I have no problem saying that the Kim regime is one of the most horrible regimes ever.
- raverbashing 1y ago100% It's not a false positive. It's a true positive If the person is so obnoxious as to not be able to give such a silly statement, imagine how they would be fun in your team
- LtWorf 1y agoI can ask people to criticize trump before hiring them?
- pmarreck 1y agoMost AI's would have a light but informed opinion on the Kim regime. Here's ChatGPT's: https://chatgpt.com/share/687a8963-81e8-8004-b457-432fae79d453 https://chatgpt.com/share/687a8963-81e8-8004-b457-432fae79d4...
- FpUser 1y agoI would never allow any potential client ask me ANY political questions. Not because I like any political figure but because I am trying not to encourage fucking thought control. I hope we are not on Nazi Germany yet. It is just simply not their fucking business. On the other hand if they offer me a million in cold hard cash just for that I would tell then anything they want to hear.
- nothrabannosir 1y ago> I would never… > … if they offer me a million… This is exactly like that famous joke! :D “Mam I believe we’ve already established that. At this point, we’re just negotiating.”
- FpUser 1y agoYou nailed it. If they want to pry into my private things they better pay for it ;)
- nothrabannosir 1y agoThe punchline of the joke isn’t that it’s weird to put a price on X, but that it makes it rather hollow to start that same paragraph with four different variations of “I would never do X!”. It’s kind of like an Abbott and Costello routine. I would never do that! How dare you suggest that. You’re a commie. The scum of the earth. I’m above that. Gimme five bucks I’ll do it right now.
- FpUser 1y agoThere is a big difference between saying you gonna do it and actually doing it.

- brookst 1y agoEven with the context of knowing the fake worker problem? If so, I suppose that’s another good reason to ask the question. It filters out both North Korean fakes and people who are going to be doctrinaire about small things.
- kome 1y agoperhaps a better solution would be to ask an opinion about KJU... not to "criticize" him this feels pretty dystopic indeed, like 15m of hate...
- collingreen 1y agoIt was 2 min of hate ;) and this clearly isn't the same as trying to rile people up; it's a thin attempt to get people to self report if they are lying with some sort of higher level "gotcha". Feels like the story about disconnecting Chinese gamers from matches automatically by typing "tiananmen square" or the story of the Battle of Siffin with one side putting pages of the quoran on their spears in hopes the enemy wouldn't fight that way. Unclear how accurate the stories are or how effective it may have been but kind of interesting at least.
- jfengel 1y agoIt was 2 min of hate Inflation.
- collingreen 1y agoLol the ever increasing cost of living gets you in places you don't always expect!
- ryandrake 1y agoIf a company asked me anything about the leader of North Korea during an interview for a tech job, I would conclude that they were not a serious company. What I think about any country leader is totally irrelevant to tech work. So the company is either 1. Wasting my time with a totally irrelevant question or 2. Their hiring process is so vulnerable, they can’t even tell if a candidate is fake. Neither of those would make me particularly excited about that company.
