    Not all discourse has to be so hostile my guy. It’s ok to have questions, hesitations, and confidence levels in-between 0 and 100. It’s not hard to find testimonies. As I’ve said I genuinely don’t know how to determine which, if any, are unbiased.

      The ROK giving money for the testimonies and other financial incentives make literally all testimonies sus. The claims being so extraordinary also means we need extraordinary evidence to believe them, the burden of proof isn’t on the DPRK, since you can’t realistically prove a negative.

        There’s nothing extraordinary about a state oppressing it’s people. The existence of a state that doesn’t oppress it’s people should require extraordinary evidence to believe.

          You don’t think the haircut stories or the claims of mass enslavement are extraordinary? Do you think everyone would believe these claims of any other country, like Canada or Sweden, without stronger evidence?
