I'm not sure how bad north korea really is. Because, despite what you may think, we do get propaganda. See how every single time a ransomware hits a company it's always russia/iran/north korea sending it? Do you really think there are no criminals in the rest of the world trying to make some quick money?
Or, notice how ukraine went from "nazi shithole" to "beacon of freedom and democracy" once the war started?
To know how things really are behind the propaganda is basically impossible.
