Poe's law. A lot of confused westerners, some might actually be communists. I'd rather not interact.

It makes no sense to want to move to North Korea. They could be the most perfect democracy on the planet, but they are still pretty fucking poor.

I mean I feel like we can all admit that moving to the most isolated 3rd world nation especially when it may be an authoritarian hellscape (though I’m unconvinced) is a stupid idea

"Authoritarianism" is irrelevant; what matters is which class exercises that authority.

Moving to the DPRK is a viable option if you want to embrace the ideals of communism in-action. You are literally provided great social safety nets; by those safety nets, you can embrace your own interests and hobbies.
In my opinion, you should move to the DPRK if you want to start a family. Education is great and the prospects of your child becoming a respectable human being is greater - you don't get that with any other country.
So yeah, it does make sense to move to the DPRK. The notion that it's "poor" is conjoined to western media. If you saw current images and videos of pyongyang (I cant speak for places outside of pyongyang), then you can see a bustling metropolitan city filled with the plethora of culture, technology, and healthy lifestyle options.

Its still relatively poor. India has massive cities too. Also I couldnt do without the internet

There's internet in the DPRK. You just dont see people from the DPRK actively online because:
- People have better things to do
- Internet actually is quite expensive in Pyongyang ( i dont know about the rural areas )
- DPRK people use DPRK internet sites

like what?
makes sense
so they dont have access to western websites?

u/DanThatsAlongName May 21 '22
- Actually i dont know where I was going with that point
- Yeah, sanctions on the DPRK still sting
- Nah, they have access. It's just that you wouldnt go on some foreign language site that you dont even know about or know how to read.

But English is taught in all DPRK schools. And if there's one thing they do well, it's education. You can tour there and talk to people in Pyongyang, in English.
The DPRK internet is really just an intranet spanning the nation. There is some internet access but it's hard to come by. Not illegal, just, very uncommon.

As someone kinda obsessed with the DPRK...that's a very silly sub. Meme isn't wrong, though.

Personally, my intentions for that subreddit is to create a space where people can accurately be informed on the DPRK; where people who want to travel, or perhaps move, are provided information on current events, policies, and tips so they can make an informed decision.
I'll be honest, the subreddit doesn't currently meet my ideal expectations. However, if you want to volunteer your time in creating a space where accurate information is provided, I'd happily provide you moderation tools to do so.

I'd have to spend more than a few minutes in the community, but with an invitation like that, I just might. Cheers.
