Thanks for posting, this was eerie. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be brought up, from a small child, to unconditionally love one man and to unconditionally love everything about your country, even if you're starving. After watching the drive, I watched this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xs--To414I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xs--To414I. It gives a more in-depth look, and has interviews with officials and citizens. Some of them you can tell they are fighting to say the "right" things. I wish everyone in that country well.

While there is no defending NK, blind nationalism and extremism exists in segments of the population in every country. Empirically unworkable self destructive implementation won't change an extremist's view in any society. And while the path to such states of mind is different than NK, a household or self reinforcing group, a narrow choice of information sources, the unquestioned belief in a single writer can be just as effective in producing it as Kim Jong-un tragicomic techniques.
