Normally North Korea is so irrelevant to the discussion, or it would be so absurd to suggest that we’re talking about them, that we can just exclude the territorial indicator when it’s not relevant. We don’t call Kpop “SKpop” because it’s exceedingly obvious to everyone involved that Korean culture reaching outside the peninsula is almost exclusively emanating from the south. North Korea has made itself so isolated and irrelevant that we can just forget it exists in regular discussion.

Yeah, the whole army of me doesn’t show up, and them I’m fired (or take a reason sick day for no reason when I have a very, very limited number of those and get fired next time I’m sick).
Nobody else is willing to join this because some internet rando promised them it would work, and a solid chunk of the population would be unwilling to join even if there was no consequences because they generally back the regime and its warmongering. In the theoretical best case it’s the prisoners’ dilemma on a societal scale which is basically impossible to win without a larger national union syndicate to coordinate.
Unionize now, then we can actually make a general strike happen.
