I appreciate your honesty in admitting that you consider human well-being to be irrelevant!

What a pointlessly hostile and totally asshole way to make your point! But yeah let’s pretend that’s what “prosperity” means in this context rather than just amassed wealth and GDP which says nothing about how well the population is actually doing.

Under which definition of prosperity (whether that being the well-being of the population or “alignment with imperial powers”) is North Korea doing better?
You made it sound like the answer depends on the definition of “prosperity” so I’m wondering under which definition the answer would be different.

I said literally: it means absolutely nothing historically or ethically, or worse it typically means “aligned with imperialist hegemons”.
Do I need to explain to you what this means, or do you have a clue about South Korean history and US foreign policy?
