The one thing that most of the people interested in NK forget, is that even if it IS that bad in there, as most defectors describe, the "perceived" of NK's inhabitants is most likely not that negative.
This is simply because they can't compare it to something else.
It just is the way it is.

I saw a little documentary about a few defectors and they all said the same in some way:
Yeah it is nice to have a lot of food, but  they were happier before. Life was easier, less stress and competition.
I think it was this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyqUw0WYwoc&t=973s

What's your opinion on that?
