A shitpile by any other name...

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Easy, NK: One man, one vote. Thus democratic.

And the man? It's Kim.

Wait, really? It says more about USA than about Korea. How does one become even worse than Korea? It is antiachivement.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In literally no instance is the USA worse than north Korea. Unless you count the lack of murder death camps and a supreme dictator for life as something to be better at

The USA has a higher rate of incarceration.

[–] RidderSport 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Based on the number of incarceration we know. Who knows if that's true and how many are executed

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Well, now I know about 3 countries in the world with death penalty: USA, Belarus and NK.

Belarusians are working on this.

No it doesnt. NKs parlament is for show and fasade.

Kim's party holfs 98% of the seats. The other 2 partys hold no power at all and arent an opposition. They always vote with the main party.

Helloooo... Are you replying to something else? Or you don't know what an antiachivement is? That's the entire point.

They turn all the lights out at night because everyone voted for it, not because they are a failing authoritarian state that struggles to keep their grid running. Allows for great stargazing from the very normal hard labor camps.
