It's like we're all living in a global panopticon, and N. Korea is the solitary confinement cells, but they're constructed of two way mirrors, so the occupants can't see out, but the rest of us can see how much it sucks for them. That way, the rest of us can always find a reason to think the status quo is great.
The N. Koreans have it bad, but they don't know any better. We do know better, but most of us choose to ignore it. I feel most sorry for the ones of us who are in willful denial. They spend their lives trying desperately to not be who and what they are.
Good article. It appears, though, that unless there is a great deal I haven't guessed about those who rule Australia, and the armaments there, I, in no possible configuration of the current situation, would want to be in Australia's shoes. Their government seems to be as full of globalists as America's. They're already doing the slow-motion immigration invasion. If they weren't part of the Commonwealth, and cooperating with NATO, I think they'd be speaking Chinese already. Have I missed some huge, critical piece? What am I not seeing? I know I don't know enough about that area of the world, but I've had other things on my plate.
An excellent summation there @lifeworship - after WW2 Australia weaned itself off the teat of the Commonwealth and onto the teat of America that it now sucks to this day! Such a shame that it never took a more independent stance earlier like Pilger wished :(
It reminds me of the guy who wanted to put the whole world in prison so he built a very high fence around his house.
I think it would work both ways. It appears N. Korea is allowed to continue, so the rest of us can be convinced that we are free.
That last paragraph of yours is super interesting :))

I don't know who I feel most sorry for ... us or them?!

I wanted to pass you this latest Pilgerian politics article. Writing at its absolute finest :)
