    DPRK is like the most sanctioned place on earth, which makes the life of their citizens very difficult and it’s unironically incredible the state has managed to survive for this long. It would be selfish of me to move there, because their own people need the support.

    I really wanna use this as an opportunity to put an emphasis on how cruel and pointless these sanctions are. My own town had been cut off from large parts of the world and the libs in charge could not give a single fuck, that’s only a tiny fraction of what life must be like for citizens of DPRK. Funny how libs - love - to tell you how suffering builds character, no it doesn’t. Even if it did, why do they sacrifice everything and everyone for the sake of avoiding it? They might have fooled me once, but I can see through who these people really are.

    (btw this isn’t directed at you, please don’t take it personally I’m not claiming you’re Orientalizing DPRK I’ve just seen some weird opinions online about it, that rub me the wrong way, and maybe one of those people who thinks it’s a secret communist heaven reads this lol)

    So no I wouldn’t wanna like go live there, but I do hope to see the sanctions lifted.

      you could move there as a skilled worker or teacher, assuming you have a notable skill. For example my skill is asking chatgpt to make websites.

        If they want to open a Department of Liberty to help make the country more socially progressive than US of A, but in like actually liberating way, Kim Jong Un should email me, we’re going to open the first state sponsored HRT dispensary in DPRK
