It's a mixed bag. That morally reprehensible money raises awareness of exactly what's going on, and just how abused their citizens are.
One wonders if, ever there were a just war, it wouldn't be to free the North Koreans.
the entire population of north korea is ~24m. while i have no doubts that the nork prison camps are hideously inhumane, there's no way they approach the extermination camps in eastern europe of ww2
European camps lasted, what, maybe 6 years total? They were used to commit attempted genocide. They were hell on earth but those camps are done.
North Korean camps have been around 40 years? They're used to "re-educate wrongdoers". They are a continuing hell on earth that the world allows to continue (unfortunately, due to realpolitik).
Each is hell, but each is it's own kind of hell.
