I can’t speak for the chapter you were a part of, but I think the idea that the DPRK isn’t a hellhole, actually, and is more like Cuba as an impoverished yet slowly improving society is a valid point to take against common allegations as such. The PRC is certainly no paradise either, but it has rapidly improved, and I think acknowledging that as well is also valid. I questioned what you alleged because I haven’t seen anyone say the DPRK is paradise, period, nor the idea of Trump being better than Harris.

It happens all over Lemmy, at least it does for me. Anecdotes aren’t typically considered reliable.
