In your experience, is there respect/adoration for the ruling family from the general public?
Yes from very young they teach how the Kim family helped the country exist ... I dont say there is adoration but it is very respectful .

Do most north Koreans know that the world is not like what they are told?
No ... I have acess to Internet and I see lot of things from the world here in lemmy and other sites ... NK people trust the goverment a lot ... The news is got from television radio and websites in NK intranet ...
What's the most common lie westerners believe about North Korea?
Are you allowed to read Marx, Proudhon and other communist philosophers?
How privileged are you to have access to the Internet and do an AMA?
What do you think of that North Korean girl doing videos on YouTube? (Not sure how she is called, just saw a documentary about her)
That we are all hungry and sad and hate the country ... That we want to leave !! it is true that the country is not perfect ... It has a lot of problems that the NK gov does not talk . There is corruption and there is poor NK people . A lot . But I see in the internet people that say we eat dogs and grass ... That is not the truth . There was a lot of hunger in NK a long time ago but that is not now . Some poor people have little to eat is the truth ... We do not eat mud . I live well because I live in city and have good job .
Yes.
It is a lot of privilege . Very little people in NK have internet . Some people can use it . The video in YOUTUBE from NTTs is true with the NK people using Discord ... I am not them .
I have not seen the video .

How many hours do people work each day? And do people get enough sleep?
Thanks for the AMA.
It is not equal . People in the field in countryside work all day almost . People in cities work less !! I work 8 hours .
What is your favorite food?
Are people who live in the countryside doing ok?
Are the laws very restrictive, do you have to always be careful what you say, or can you trust your neighbors, have people to discuss politics with?
