Come on, what’s more likely, that North Koreans are literally cartoon villains who execute children for listening to music (when they’re not pretending to till the fake fields around the fake village at the border, pretending to play in the fake water park, or pulling the trains from village to village)? Or that some tabloid made it up, and nobody bothers to fact check anything about north korea?
You’d recognize how silly it is if a conservative told you “<enemy of america> hates us for our freedom”, why don’t you see it here?
I think both scenarios are 100% plausible. If conservatives made those claims about a political enemy, I’d look at the body of evidence that enemy has produced, and make some judgement calls. NK has a shit track record of being good to its citizens. There are videos of defectors getting shot, stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed, some from the United States, and mountains of other individual acts that show them them as radicals that may kill kids just because.
