While in North Korea, I had the pleasure to have two guides. One was very experienced, the other was a young girl (about 20), in the job of guiding tourists for only two weeks. So she was still very natural.
I once asked her during a circus event “What do you like about your country?”
She replied:
“First, our Great Leader.
Second, I like the fact that in our country people really have an influence on the country. We as the Workers’ Party rule. It is not like in the capitalistic countries, where money means everything.
Third, the fact that our country is so great that even the USA is afraid of us.”
The way she said it pretty much rendered me speechless. There was absolutely no way of touching this belief.
Of course now, she does not represent the majority. She is just a sample of one. But when you think of a nation where nobody has ever experienced a different system, not even your grandfather, and where there is no other influence like radio, television, internet, newspapers….
Then, yea, why not believe your leader is as great as everybody says?
