perhaps a better solution would be to ask an opinion about KJU... not to "criticize" him this feels pretty dystopic indeed, like 15m of hate...

If a company asked me anything about the leader of North Korea during an interview for a tech job, I would conclude that they were not a serious company.

What I think about any country leader is totally irrelevant to tech work. So the company is either 1. Wasting my time with a totally irrelevant question or 2. Their hiring process is so vulnerable, they can’t even tell if a candidate is fake. Neither of those would make me particularly excited about that company.

It was 2 min of hate ;) and this clearly isn't the same as trying to rile people up; it's a thin attempt to get people to self report if they are lying with some sort of higher level "gotcha".

Feels like the story about disconnecting Chinese gamers from matches automatically by typing "tiananmen square" or the story of the Battle of Siffin with one side putting pages of the quoran on their spears in hopes the enemy wouldn't fight that way. Unclear how accurate the stories are or how effective it may have been but kind of interesting at least.
