> At least NK is open and explicit.

Disagreed, the secrecy is a symptom of desire to avoid public retaliation because they know it will affect those who sponsor such programs.

This highlights there is need to continue to expose such systems via strong journalism + protections of freedom of speech (as written in the 1st amendment).

Saying "at least NK is open and explicit" is because the government fears nothing with absolute control, and as the grandparent comment says - we cannot forget this key difference.




If you downvoted me you don’t realize we are on the same side. Did you think I wish the US as a whole was more like NK?
