Who doesn't. 😒

By Claude AI. North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a highly isolated and centrally planned economy. Information about its internal affairs, including social programs, is limited and often filtered through state propaganda or external observers with limited access. With that caveat in mind, here are some social programs that have reportedly been implemented in North Korea: Universal healthcare system: North Korea claims to provide free healthcare to all citizens. While the quality and accessibility of this care are often questioned by outside observers, the system does exist on paper. Education: The country reports a high literacy rate and provides free compulsory education for children. Again, the quality and content of this education are subjects of debate. Housing allocation: The government reportedly assigns housing to citizens, although the quality and availability of housing vary greatly depending on one's status and location. Food distribution: The Public Distribution System (PDS) was established to provide food rations to the population. However, this system has faced significant challenges, especially since the 1990s famine, and many North Koreans now rely on informal markets for food. Social security: There is a nominal social security system that includes provisions for old age, disability, and survivors' benefits. The effectiveness and reach of this system are unclear. Child care: The state provides child care facilities, allowing women to participate in the workforce. The quality and availability of these services may vary. Employment guarantee: In theory, the state assigns jobs to citizens, although this system has been strained by economic difficulties. It's crucial to note that while these programs exist on paper, their implementation, quality, and accessibility are often severely limited due to economic constraints, systemic issues, and the prioritization of military spending over social welfare. Many of these programs have deteriorated significantly since the economic crisis of the 1990s. Moreover, access to these social services is often tied to one's position in the songbun system, a socio-political classification structure that categorizes citizens based on their perceived loyalty to the regime. This means that many citizens, especially those deemed less loyal or living in rural areas, may have limited or no access to these programs. The effectiveness of these programs is difficult to assess due to lack of transparent data and limited access for international observers. Reports from defectors and humanitarian organizations often paint a picture of severe shortages in healthcare, food, and other basic necessities for a large portion of the population. In conclusion, while North Korea has established various social programs in theory, their practical implementation and effectiveness are highly questionable. The country's economic challenges, political system, and international isolation have significantly impacted its ability to provide comprehensive social services to its citizens.

Ironically, it's Zionists' fault that people are empathizing with the Palestinians' struggle, which could make those people blind to the issues among Palestinians. It's as if Zionists are deliberately doing that to find justifications to continue their job. -

Well, he is talking like a Zionist. He's completely ignoring what Israel has been doing while focusing on Hamas's doings. Isn't it interesting that Zionists only focus on stuff like Hamas and their terror without context? -

That Israeli guy is mad. Also, Piers interrupted when Cenk was making his point. -
Why are you limiting yourself? Jews once lived elsewhere before living in the lands of now what is called Israel or Palestine.

Wow. AI movies are coming, I guess.

I noticed that there is the desire in people not to be corrupted, which, I think, makes them prone to corruption.
-
Well, some people try to do it. To be honest, I'm not sure how many people are actually against corruption, even if they say they are. They're probably against others who try to worsen their survival, or they think so.

Ahoy, Matey!

How do you measure how much it is cultural and biological? And how do they affect each other? Also, how is the AI a leftist creation? And what do you mean by the term "leftist"?

Why not use ChatGPT-4o Plus, the most advanced model?

I thought it was a gay awareness video. 😋

@PurpleTree, so you like Soviet-Armenian cartoons. 😏
-
Can you give more info on how you would go to NK and chill there? Consider that you weren't born there, and you have the ability to choose where and how to live compared to NK people.
-
Issues among Palestinians: People who only empathize with the Palestinian side and view them only as victims also do whitewashing.
-
Could you please refer to those programs that the NK government supports?

The treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank:

@PurpleTree, I found them like a year ago but forgot to explore their programms. They are really great. They have a postmodern vibe that I like. 😁

Civil unrest in Israel:

They aren't being bombed like hell. What have they done? Why shouldn't NK be sanctioned?

I agree. Well, that's not happening outside Israel. Have you seen what the settlers and the military have been doing?
