Visiting N. Korea sounds like visiting a private company in the USA

[Total Crica]

Has anyone ever been on a tour of a private company in the USA that they didn't own any part of?

It's just as restrictive and guided and staged as this was.

Why is it OK for private companies in the USA to be so secretive but not North Korea?

You really have to ask what the difference between a corporation and a government is?

Because what is permissible for Jove is not permissible for a Bull.

Do you refer to J.O.V.E. or to another name for Jupiter?

You reference Bull, so perhaps you are referring to zodiac?

Pretty much. I understand the appeal because of the secrecy and restrictiveness, but people who go and visit (especially Youtubers that popularise it) are basically supporting that murderous regime.

Yea, I was on a tour of google last week and when an employee fucked up, they mounted him in front of an anti-aircraft gun and fired. They also gave a couple 15 years hard labor for watching a YouTube video.

None of that happened in any tour of N. Korea, though. So, if that happened on your tour of Google, seems to me that they are not as staged and guided as N. Korea and will show you much more then N. Korea will. =P

You should stop going to North Korea for these trips, because you're supporting the regime with your money.

This thread is utterly ridiculous. Nobody cares if North Korea is private, they care that they are murdering and oppressing their own people. There are other countries that have a private mentality, yet still are not starving their people to death.

If you are going to make this comparison, then you may as well try and compare a fancy hotel in NYC to a Soviet gulag.

I mean Karl Marx alone would answer this and enlighten you 10x more. You really should mention what your education level is... (as omg Cpt Obvious is obvious)

If countries/companies are private and only do guided and staged tours and restrict access to most areas, how would one know if they are murdering and oppressing people?

For companies, cops can come and investigate them - they can't remain private anymore once allegations are leveled at them.

But for countries, other countries can't come investigate any allegations, so how do other countries know?

In theory there is supposed to be a balance of power between goverments, citizens and companies. Companies and citizens, in general, have the right to privacy, in order to protect themselves from abuses from the goverment, while the goverment has no right to privacy, to be accountable at all times, but has the power to take away companies and citizens privacy protection in a limited and temporary way (When there is proof, that you have bombs in your house, they can come in. When there is suspicion of tax fraud, they can make you turn over your files).

In reality global companies are slowly taking over more and more of the goverments powers, while not accepting any of its responsibilites, while the goverment is slowly losing its ability to control them in any way. So if that trend continues, in a couple of decades the answer to your question will be: Because if you ask questions like that on the internet (tm), the Zuckerbots will escort you to prison (tm).

Sure, because they are made differently, the laws of nature just work that way, I agree.

But all countries are made of the same thing - humans.

By OK what exactly do you mean, because there is a fine line between OK, and there really isn't the hell very much we can do about some of it, legally. It's called capitalism, and it is chained to the very freedoms we allow at least in the U.S and Canada, to associate and do commerce with international entities, unless their is some legal reason not to.

It's why IBM did business with the Nazi's it why Entertain them aswell, hell our own government worked side by side with Stalin and Mao, so again define OK.


Business is about making a profit and serving a bottom line, countries are about serving the people and the good of a nation, both will take strange routes and make strange bedfellows of the most unlikely sorts.

It's pretty fucked up I know in my opinion but I am with Einstein on this and forever, something something like when our technology outpaces our humanity.

Hopefully you will reach a point in your life where you realize how utterly crazy what you've written is.

You could say the same thing about my home. People are not allowed to roam freely and do what ever the hell they please...so I live in north Korea!?

This really was not a thread that needed to be made.
