Nothing, and I feel like these discussions, even if made ironically, come off as incredibly tone-deaf given the reality of the people unfortunate enough to be stuck living in N.K.

At 40 years old, they have one of the world's youngest leaders. Way to represent Millenials, Kim!

True, though they only put esteem in him because they consider him an avatar of his grandfather.

Necrocracy. I think they're the only country that is officially still ruled by a dead leader.

Am I the only one who actually thinks it's a good system of government? I mean when you think about it, if you're being ruled by a dead person like that, it prevents excessive deviation of ruling style. I bet many Americans wish they were still ruled by the insightful guidance of George Washington, even if by proxy.

Where to begin! The famines? The oppression? The lack of liberties? The persecution of queer people, or, indeed, any thought viewed as slightly aberrant? The megalomaniacal madman who keeps his people in chains while he lives the life of the ultra-rich? The gasping, desperate poverty of his subjects? Their inability to leave the country? The militarism? The backwardness?

Oh, wait, what we like?

Uh...

I have a morbid curiosity for their state propaganda (as with other state propaganda). They're just very persistent with it. Not sure if that counts as something from NK that's good, but it's at least one thing that I'm fascinated by.
