    Do we know what “sins” he is referring to, that he believed he needed to redeem himself over?

      The propaganda of the regime is that the old Kim and the new Kim are godlike. They can read your thoughts and catch you if you deviate from the plan. Of course most adult North Koreans aren’t stupid enough to believe this. It’s like believing in Santa Claus culturally.

      The problem is that the state is almost godlike. They will come into your home and check for unapproved media. They will take your children away and ask them in a detention center what mommy and daddy did that was bad.

      They will send your ass to the frontline of a Russian war of conquest and kill your family if you are captured.

        Oh, like parents and teachers and pastors. This actually makes that whole shitshow much more normal.

        But like in the worst sense.

          It sounds like you’re coming out from a controlled part of life? Did your parents teach you they could read your thoughts? I’m sorry.

      Probably got caught not believing all this stuff in private, and listening to k-pop or something. Off to war you go…
