Literally what has the DPRK done to anyone that people would need to apologize for?
I mean things that really happened, with evidence and stuff. The Wile E. Coyote atrocity stories sourced from South Korean tabloids that constantly appear in the Western press don't count.
Think real hard...
I've, once or twice, MLs over-correct and try to deny the personality cult that has organically arisen around the Kim family in the DPRK.
But that's such an utterly meaningless thing to care about, when the worlds richest man feels comfortable enough to go mask off, and do a Nazi salute on live television, and when the new administration is attacking Trans people so aggressively.
Like, for a supposedly queer friendly instance, those are some fucked up priorities.
Comparing mild personality cult of DPRK to South Korea and Samsung, almost the entire country one a damn 1920's company town.
I get what you mean. There is probably more dynastic worship than I'd select for my ideal society, but I hesitate to judge the degree, because I know all of my information is distorted through the lenses of geopolitical rivalry and vast cultural gaps.
For example, I remember when
died, the public displays of weeping really seemed like cult stuff, but I later learned it was a Korean cultural phenomenon that long predated communism.
