    I mean… no, it would be the equivalent of going on a state-sanctioned tour of parts of Germany that weren’t demolished yet, because that’s what you do when you go to DPRK. They don’t take you to labor camps.

    Honestly, any tourism revenue made by DPRK is a drop in the ocean compared to what they make off crypto and hacking. If you’re in a position to visit and you’re curious, I don’t see anything particularly wrong with visiting - just be aware you’re getting a carefully-tailored experience, not the whole picture.

        comparing the whole country to a concentration camp massively downplays the conditions in concentration camps. I’m sure being a citizen there isn’t fun but it’s still different.
