The name has been almost permanently ruined. Whenever people hear of it, they always think of no food, 1984, worshipping the leader, getting your entire family arrested for not doing so, all that stuff. And if you say otherwise, they just call you a propagandist who is hiding the truth. And even if Korea’s government does anything like build a water park, people say that it is just to “fool the world into believing they are good”. Like they can’t even build an entire village without people saying that they are just building it to deceive people.
At least China is taken seriously by a lot of people.
P.S.
Dear angry libs:
Cry harder. I want to drink more of your tears.
Why are you being so mean? Do the lives of millions of entrepreneurs, Japanese patriots, American neoliberals, and other perfectly harmless anticommunists mean absolutely nothing to you?
