These people are terrified of Dear Leader….it is scary to see it

He’s scared of them, too. I recall reading a translation of an official NorK document, from Kim Il-Sung’s time, to the effect that something like 30% of the population were deemed politically unreliable and/or actively opposed to Juche ideology.

The NorK people hate and fear their government; but what does that mean, if it has been the air they breatherd, the rice they ate, and the sum total of their entire existence to date? The experience of the few defectors out of that Hell is not encouraging - they all seem to have major mental problems.
