I think ReviewBrah supports North Korea. He even had a music playlist with a song about Kim Il-sung on it. It is either he supports it or he's really interested in it. I hope it is that he supports it because I support the DPRK. EDIT: I made this comment three years ago when I was a cringe DPRK supporter. I no longer support North Korea. And in regards to the music playlist, it's no longer on his channel. Also, it was stupid of me to have suggested that ReviewBrah supports North Korea given how much he enjoys eating food. However, it is clear that he is interested in the country and is obviously not a fan of the sensationalism about North Korea in the media.

​@@Boy_Boy hello. I have some genuine question. I've been trying to understand what's going on in the world, the horrible loss of human lives, killings even worse the people justifying taking other humans lives and so on.. it looks like never ends. What's troubling me is that I can not see things in any perspective other than 'good vs evil'. I came across some posts telling how horrible propaganda is in socialist counties and how disillusioned people from free countries trying to preach socialist countries as the good ones, some times I agree with one side other times I feel ostracised from majority because I feel for another side. Also, I believe people do what they think is right at that moment and definitely nobody has ill intent for their fellow men, so the strictness and authoritarianism handled by some countries maybe due to the things they experienced in past or to protect a collapse in future, but I don't know what my place in all this should be. If you read all this then you'd realise I'm confused about all this, but really want to learn about things and develop thinking abilities that help me take a stand without feeling like I'm wrong. Again, I'm stuck in this good vs evil binary narrative which makes me feel guilty for taking a stand at all. This can help me not only to understand political climate, but also to help me grow as a person to take firm decisions. I could've asked this to anyone, but I just came across this video and you seem to respond to many comments. I'm in my mid 20s, feeling somewhat lost about not having achieved a lot in this fast paced culture always celebrating about winning and succeeding in life, and I am not even sure if it's okay to ask you this ,but can give some advice about anything, and especially learning about politics like something unbiased book or any other resources? Anything will be helpful. Not just resources to learn, but also your opinion please. Thank you.

@@raw_dah I feel you. I think the conclusion I've reached to give myself closure on that sort of thing is that it's human nature to try to find patterns - that's how we've survived as a species. When it comes to complex social structures, though, the narrative of a binary to simplify and hence understand the social structure just fails. But people cling to it anyway. I think so long as you go forward questioning the things you read, you will be fine. Keep those things in mind, but don't let it turn into pessimism, as much as you can. There really are people out there like you who also want to see the world in a balanced way, and challenge their biases. I think the best way to challenge biases is to try to imagine you're on the "other side" of the discussion. In this video, boy boy talks a lot about "imagine what it's like living in north korea and ...", and that's the kind of approach you want to take. Question both sides' perspectives, though, and really ask yourself "is there any other reason things are seen this way?", or "are there any other explanations?". Nobody is infalliable, and if you realise you need to challenge views you've had in the past, you will almost always grow from doing so.

Armies have artillery and air support and a combined arms doctrine that makes them well suited to fight other armies to destroy hard targets or hold territory. A deathsquad is like 40 guys, and like 5 of them have Aks and the other 35 have machetes and they're only really suited to wiping out civilians. Using an army as a deathsquad is stupidly innefficient because you didn't need to pack this much firepower for that village. Using a bunch of deathsqudas as an army is inneffective. The deathsquads would just lose the fight really quickly. The thing to point out is that America is both the largest funder of armies and the largest funder of deathsquads on the globe.

If a country launches a single nuke its a big deal for the entire world and could pose a serious threat the any citizen of any country. Never forget the I'll translated quote, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds" as he saw the first nuke detonate.

@@Poadiup SK is not a vassal state anymore it was for some time simillar to how Japan was but currently it is economically self sufficient and has one of the strongest economies. NK on the other hand gets the majority of its electricity supply from China and relies on russian grain supply. NK's regime has little to nothing in common with communism or with peoples right to self determination. It is a hereditary dictatirship with a centralized economy. My parents used to live in the USSR, probably the most "successful" of all Communist\socialist states of the time. Even there the life wasn't particullary good or free. You get what the government decides to give you because it thinks it's what you need due to the centralized planning nature of the economy. There's a tendency in communist\socialist-led states that all of the quality of life improvements are always related to the free market - oriented reforms and reintroduction of some forms of private ovnership of means of production as well as indtoduction of foreign capital. It happened with China during Deng Xiaoping, with Vietnam, Laos and Cuba and to the lesser extent with the USSR. The same thing is happening in NK because its original Juche based isolationist centralized economy starved a lot of people to death during the 90s and was only able to survive due to the extensive outside help. Even if its Its really illegal to speak positively of the north in SK media it is also impossible to say anything outside of what the party wants to say in NK media because there's no independent media at all. It's also illegal to smuggle anything from the south and the punishment is more severe compared to SK. It was like this in the USSR and currently is in NK.

It's important to see North Koreans as real people with real lives and real joys. Yes, what countries like the US do and get away with is horrifying and devastating, but "well they did a bad, too" does not excuse the desecration of fundamental human rights. This video is blatant propaganda washing over the very real and undeniable atrocities going on in that dictatorship. It's a disservice to the very brave people who have escaped and shared their stories. It's a disservice to those who died trying but were shot in the DMZ, or were otherwise executed for their attempts at freedom, and to the families of escapees who were tortured and murdered as a warning to dissuade others from escaping and risking the slaughter of their loved ones. Those stories are every bit as real, and more reliable (in my opinion) than the very curated tours that North Korea is willing to offer influencers who are willing to portray their regime in a positive light.

Well done guys. I graduated with a degree in Korean and history and it's so refreshing to hear what you had to say. I've been trying to tell people this for years, but to no avail. Keep up the good work.

I have a chance to be convinced to change my opinion on NK, but I still have a few questions: What about the N Korean refugees? They're constantly saying shit about NK tho, and the fact that ofc the tourist cities aren't gonna be rife with visable corruption sooo?......

@@EthanPerales. watch "Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang". There around 10-30,000 north Koreans who work abroad and are only maybe about 10 total who run the media circuit talking about the "evils" of the DPRK. Even then, a lot of times what they say is debunked. Not to mention SK offers a $830,000 cash reward for defecting, and many NK citizens who are stuck in SK (because SK refuses to give them a passport) have said you can't make money doing media and interviews unless you make up lies About NK. Some have tried to share their positive experiences and the tv shows didn't want them or dissuaded them from saying anything like that
