How can you tell me it is false at the same time you tell me there’s not a lot of information passing between the two? These statements are in contention. But, like, I wouldn’t even think they literally all have the same haircut. I would think there is a prevalence to have similar hairdos. Because nationalism is like that. You idolize the military, you get people trying to look like the military. It’s not rocket surgery.
This is a weird misinformation combat strategy, where you tell me something isn’t true that is for sure not true, and then point to something that might or might not be true and say that it is the same thing. Because they’re not. If anything, it makes me feel like the opposite. Heck, I can even say that someone eating rats isn’t particularly crazy when you make me think about it. I’ve seen some poor conditions, and eating squirrels and rabbits isn’t that different from eatings rats, and there are people that do that here in America. Like, is eating a rat even that bad? It feels kinda like shaming someone for trying to survive. And I didn’t even really care about the haircut thing! Omg!
The idea of state-mandated haircuts is false. I never said people only have different haircuts.
I think you’re getting lost in the sauce here, a bit. I’ve given common examples of widely spread stories, such as people eating rats or being forced to get one of only a few types of haircuts, etc. There are other stories too, like the idea that whoever stops clapping for Kim Jong-Un first is executed. People do believe these stories, even though we know they’re fake, because of cultural hegemony.
I am not saying these are all the “same thing.” They have differences in severity, yes, but they are all real examples of real news stories that have been debunked. Recently, there was even a story of banning hamburgers and hot dogs for being too American, which, wouldn’t you know, was also fake.
Real information from the DPRK is neither impossible to find nor what’s out in the open. It does exist, but it’s primarily not in English, and English-speaking news is flooded with tall-tales and clickbait to overwhelm the real information.
I genuinely don’t know what you’re trying to say, here. I’ve made my position clear several times now.

No worries, you explained it well. People will grasp at straws to dismiss any argument if they aren’t ready to examine certain convictions.
That’s fair, thank you.
