"Rather than me trying to figure out what you want to say, how about you just say it?" All indications are the majority of the NK people love their leader. The country is very closed and insular. As I have noted, they at used to have active shrines to the leader all over the country. Now it may be that the only reason that was true is because of a pervasive and active secrete police. But, despite the widespread famines, there has been zero sign of any internal unrest. Now true, there have been some that have fled to China. But those numbers are very small considering the population in distress. And they also tend to be better educated and/or have had contact with countries outside of NK. So they are outliers. NK is not like the Eastern Bloc or even a typical 3rd world country.
