Honestly, sounds like a red flag if even a legitimate applicant is unwilling to voice an opinion on the Kim regime.

Honestly, sounds like a red flag if even a legitimate applicant is unwilling to voice an opinion on the Kim regime.
To be basically informed about, yes. An educated person should probably have a view about broad topics like North Korea, and whether Pyongyang is more worthy of criticism than praise. And I don’t want to work with someone who is open to the morality of the Kim regime.
I would find that question extremely weird in a job interview for a normal job, and I have no problem saying that the Kim regime is one of the most horrible regimes ever.
I don't consider myself to know enough to criticize.
Of course what little I do know is all negative. But I've paid only limited attention, and I get nothing from primary sources.
I expect the same from practically everyone -- perhaps excepting South Koreans who at least speak the language. I'd consider it good judgment to say that you just can't meaningfully answer the question.
I'd read a statement you hand me, if you thought that would suffice. But I'll admit I'd consider that weird and likely useless.
Because "educate yourself" is quite possibly the most annoying, low effort thing you can say to someone whom you think should know something that they don't. Either share the information with them or don't engage at all; there's no need to be a dick about it.
Especially when the reality is everyone “knows” so much that isn’t true or that is true but they could never personally confirm it.
I am not 100% that North Korea exists. I’m pretty sure, but I can’t KNOW it without going there.
So while dictators are bad, the Kim’s are probably bad, sorry if I don’t go to the deep end repeating everything that someone else taught me.
100%
It's not a false positive. It's a true positive
If the person is so obnoxious as to not be able to give such a silly statement, imagine how they would be fun in your team
Replace North Korean leader with Biden and Trump, how that sounds?
Please do not foster this concept that I have a responsibility to proactively criticize ever fascist regime of the past century in order to dispel implicit notions that I am "supporting" them in vague undefined ways.
