A nation that went from middle ages to the space age in 50 years, and where the standard of living went up immensely?

Sounds better than the current situation where the trends are reversed.

Gulags are good?

Given the US incarceration rate now, it'd be not far from truth to say that US is having its own Gulag moment. Just without other Soviet benefits.

You really should emigrate to North Korea. (Of course you will not do that, everyone is a hero on the internet.)

I'm not sure how bad north korea really is. Because, despite what you may think, we do get propaganda. See how every single time a ransomware hits a company it's always russia/iran/north korea sending it? Do you really think there are no criminals in the rest of the world trying to make some quick money?

Or, notice how ukraine went from "nazi shithole" to "beacon of freedom and democracy" once the war started?

To know how things really are behind the propaganda is basically impossible.

Well most people don't speak korean…

> Well most people don't speak korean…

Start and learn Korean, and then emigrate. Tell us in 30 years time how it went.

After he gets to North Korea you will not hear from him again.

You advocate for a society without jails?

I mean it'd be great but is it really feasible?
