It's a state formed as a result of an anti-colonial movement fighting for liberation against your empire. Your empire killed millions of its people, destroyed what they had, and currently maintains a genocidal blockade against it.
Despite all that, it manages to hang on, and, considering the harrassment and assault from your empire, it also manages to provide its people with much better living standards than what one would expect from many states that you do not complain about (and which are not targets of the same sort of blockades). Also, you just plain haven't even brought up any wrongdoings that the DPRK has supposedly done.

Overall, I would say that that does make the DPRK fairly good as far as states go.

And obviously false memes like the OP don't convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Either you are unfamiliar with the resolution in question and are assuming that the OP lied (without you double-checking), or you know that the OP didn't lie and are trying to engage in spreading your genocidal empire's false propaganda.

I ain't got no empires, jack.

But your criteria for a state being a "good" one is that it has resisted a bad one. I'm sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn't follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there's anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven't seen it.

The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn't forbid travel. So, you're the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.
