I'm fascinated by North Korea. I think the author shouldn't be so smug about seeing through their propaganda. We have such a sophisticated propaganda in the west that it's much harder to see it. In comparison NK propaganda is refreshingly childish, funny I would say.

>"We have such a sophisticated propaganda in the west" Do not flatter. It is quite visible and primitive.
Even China loves this idea of the western "box" they can put me, a French, in to associate all my ideas to every stupid american policies.
From Moscow to Los Angeles, everything west of China is divided, subtle and different. There is no west and therefore no western propaganda.
And I d say the american propaganda seems to work better than the French one. Where we try convince there is diversity, all you say is that "western propaganda is primitive" :(

Funny, many Europeans say the same about America. Not defending NK but the situation has persisted because nobody wants to deal with the flood of refugees a collapsed regime would create. I wouldn’t count on the situation resolving itself in our lifetimes.
I always find the need for HN to look at these countries ruled by literal dictators and say, 'but America is bad as well!' incredibly perplexing.

I don't see the link between your article and propaganda. That seems unrelated.
NK propaganda is to portray themselves as "childish and fun" for the outsiders, so they won't look in the abuse they do at home.

Because “other country bad!” is quite frequently used in media propaganda to distract attention from domestic issues. This is in no way unique to the US either.

What you're saying, is itself an example of propaganda, in the sense that it's a simplification that while technically true leads a reader to reach a different conclusion that what actually occurred. And it's easy to do, because reality is complicated while disinformation can be simple. No, Donald Trump did not sit down in a hotel or pick up a phone and directly conspire with Vladimir Putin to scheme about how to change vote totals. Here's what is known to have happened:
Trump publicly asked Russia for help https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/donald-trump-calls-...
Hours later Russian military intelligence began launching phishing emails at Clinton's office https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/439559-mueller-russ...
Hackers aligned with the Russian government succeeded in accessing DNC emails and other information https://apnews.com/article/technology-europe-russia-hacking-...
Trump's campaign coordinated the release of the stolen information https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-campaign...
Trump's campaign handed campaign data to a suspected Russian intelligence asset https://news.yahoo.com/us-says-russia-given-trump-044416162....
Russian information operations ran an online campaign to benefit Trump's campaign https://www.npr.org/2019/10/08/768319934/senate-report-russi...
Russian efforts were decisive in Trump's win https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/25/17898804/cyberwar-kathlee...

What's another example? That the sun rises in the east? Oh, the fools who fall for propaganda!
The only thing they really seemed certain of was that it wasnt their fault for sabotaging their only electable candidate in the primaries.
