      “As if” is not evidence for your claim. In the absence of evidence of fraudulent statistics, logic dictates that the provided statistics depict the truth then.

      The point is that we can’t disprove a negative. It’s on you and everyone who agrees with you to provide evidence of the fabrication. Otherwise I can also just say “no they wouldnt” and that has the same evidentiary validity as your argument.

      The most racist people on earth that say racist shit like “Michael brown was no angel” and “the Iraqi brain can’t comprehend democracy is why the war failed” also tells lies about DPRK and just to be with the racist in group with an easier access point of less social ostracization, i.e. DPRK you chose to believe the bs.

      You’re getting “doggied” because of your idiotic reflexive assumptions, not because you’ve “cast doubt” on anything. To cast doubt, you would need arguments with evidence. There’s no evidence that suicide stats are being fabricated, you just assume they are because NK bad because news said literally 1984 so anything not bad must be fake. Most people are not this easily persuaded.

      I didn’t downvote you for your comment, I downvoted you for whining and trotting out “anyone who disagrees with me is a bot.”

      Literally why would they, like actually why would they? would anyone care, would it change anything at all about the way the west talks about them would, it change anything about the way its own citizens think. No, so why would they lie why would they go out of their way to make a problem harder to solve by not acknowledging it.

      The DPRK is a normal country like any other why would u expect them specifically to lie about a random statistic, i mean i know why because ur brain is full of nonsensical propaganda about the it but actually think for just a second in ur life, why the fuck would anyone bother to lie about this.

        DPRK couldn’t even fudge the statistics enough to look better than China.

        Literally why would they, like actually why would they?

        For more epic memes like this one, which is doing rounds on totally not niche western communist internet forums. Our image boards are so powerful and hold great cultural influence in the West, which is why the Chinese patrol the Lemmyverse with their Deepseek-R1 internet hordes. Without these incredible dunks, all hope for socialism is lost, but thankfully the PRC is redirecting their compute resources away from less important tasks to help us make fun of stupid libs harder.

        Westerners really believe the plot of that shitty Seth Rogan movie is reality. L

      I’d trust their national statistics more than I’d trust our governments, have you seen ours lately?

        The DPRK could put out any set of numbers and would be accused of fudging them before anyone even looked at them.

        It’s not even just lately. The Black Book of Communism shows the extreme lengths you can distort numbers and still be trusted as reputable by the average westerner.

        Somehow after covid, bird flu, “job creation” statistics, the US’s reporting is not worthy of instantaneous distrust like NK’s.

      The United States government massages the accounting behind it’s unemployment rate to cover up chronic underemployment. Yet you feel like you have the right to say other countries lie about their statistics? That’s textbook projection.
