Not really. Squid games is loosely based on for-profit concentration camps run by US backed dictators in South Korea. The true story is actually worse than the fictional show.
All US colonies have had terrible dictatorships, the news of which purposefully does not reach the western core. Saying "they've moved on" is ignoring what actually happened, and I'm not bringing this up in a "lets focus on the past" sort of way, but on how it actually got there.
Is a murderous dictatorship that forcefully bashes the economy into the shape it wants the same as "getting over it"?
And blaming how North Korea is on one guy is a cop out. And, like I said, I'm not even defending the guy, but you can't simplify history too much either, else it starts to look like cartoons. There are 4 other guys who lead North Korea, Kim Jong Un just has a family legacy involved in its founding and is the general secretary of state, the real President, coincidentally, died yesterday, Nov 3th.
