How does the NK dynasty end? Is Kim going to get Maduro’ed? Is the more democratic relative Yeonmi Park talks about going to be their Reza Pahlavi? Is there even any hope for the Korean people?

Also, what role does NK play regarding Taiwan as well as Russian, Chinese, Authoritarian Axis policy more broadly? Should we care, or are they a relatively minor player that is occupied by SK whilst America deals with the real problems?

To my amusement, you've spent years dismantling other people's illusions and power structures in public, but what's the one illusion or comforting story about your own life that you've been reluctant to fully dismantle—and why?

Love to see Michael again, I have to commend he wrote one of the best endings in a while, and delivered it well in the audiobook version of the White Pill. - show him this at least, please.

Question for Michael: what does he think is the best way for the useful idiots today, to learn the lesson, the easy way? Be it socialism, be it any other ism…Is it possible?

Going by birth rates, South Korea will cease to be viable in a generation or two. Does North Korea invade at that point?

Kim Jong Un was outside of North Korea using a Brazilian passport, how many members of the Kim family are possibly hidden abroad?

What happened during your debate with AngryCops? Why were you so hostile and angry the entire time?

If the governments of Western countries prove unwilling, or ineffective, at removing Third World migrants, what do you think the native populations of these countries should do?

Hi Michael,

I am a fan and thank you for your content and for taking my questions.

I think the USA has been in an industrial "war" with China probably since the 1990s, but do you think the USA to be in a world war, especially now? To me it is like a giant game of Risk. This is a big question, but why does everyone dislike the USA? Do you think we are really following the British playbook with regards to regime change? (No offense lads).

And finally is this the beginning of the anarchy across the globe? What next? Letters of Mark?

Thank you,

Jen W

Great to see you back on Michael.

That picture from New York of the man with the speaker defending immigration while an islamic nail bomber jumps on his back is a classic. Are we near civil collapse?

Why are govts doing this what is the end goal? it doesent make sense!

North Korea seems like the last surviving Stalinist security experiment. How much of that architecture traces back to Lavrentiy Beria and the Soviet occupation period? Was the Kim dynasty essentially built on a Beria-designed model of total surveillance and purges?

If the furtherance of Technology continues, will it enable the collectivist bureaucrats to oppress humanity, or will the autonomous machine superspecies simply eliminate us all before then?

When Soviet and Chinese archives were briefly opened, historians like Stephen Kotkin and Frank Dikötter were able to dismantle decades of Western romanticism about those revolutions using internal documents. North Korea is still a complete black box. Do you think its archives will ever be opened—or might the regime have learned the lesson from those historical revelations and destroy the records before anyone can see them? Will the world ever actually learn, with granular detail, what really happened inside the regime?

Michael Malice, love the podcast and I enjoyed The White Pill and Dear Reader tremendously. Would you consider tackling the behind the scenes operators that shape policy around the world in your next work? You know, the ones the average Joe never hears of till they make a mistake.
