the five prayers of the North Korea apologist:

"USA used 1 trillion bombs in a conventional war 7 decades ago [fact check and the numbers are wrong, and its a dumb point anyway]"

"USA has more people in prison for unjust reasons so NK's labor camps cant be criticized [somewhat true but intellectually dishonest to compare scale and severity of punishment vs crime in NK's favor]"

"actually South Korea invaded the North first [cites professor who retracted his statement when he couldnt actually provide documented proof of this assertion]"

"sanctions that target Mercedes and cigars and wine and arms imports and jet fuel are making the North Korean people starve! [subsequently ignores reports that export restrictions actually keep food in NK since NK exported so much of their better foodstuffs to China]"

"North Korea was a socialist paradise in the 50s and 60s and had a better economy than the South [ignores that DPRK looked good by contrast to East Europe only because DPRK actually had an independent export economy compared to Poland/Bulgaria/E. Germany/etc that were forced into command economies subservient to USSR virtually funneling all strategic industries, and better investment for a few years, and even then, DPRK's economy/development level was merely the status quo for the West]"
