21. I've watched documentaries (whatever few of them there are) on the DPRK.

You can tell it's an advanced police state. And NO ONE disagrees with the government, because they've killed and/or interned those who did. All there is left is a bunch of sheep and their evil master regime.

I saw that one Wide Angle doc on the DPRK (Yeah, "D"-PRK. Like that place is "democratic".), and they showed that Communist party-member household with the state propoganda radio blaring on in the distance, and the narrator explained that all those houses have to have one of those radios, and the thing can NEVER BE TURNED OFF, but can only have the volume turned down. 1984 and Orwell IMMEDIATELY came into my mind. It's almost IDENTICAL to the telescreen in Winston Smith's apartment.
