Question: Is it just a cultural barrier that prohibits me from getting "it", or do North Korean leaders completely lack any charisma?
Previous totalitarian leaders like Hitler and Mussolini had some sort of charisma, and even Fidel and Chavez have a kind of charisma of their own.
Kim jong un when giving speeches appears like a nervous school buy reading from a paper he printed out at 1:30 AM the night before, and Kim Jong Il looked like a neurotic old man.
Dictatorships tend to be based around the charisma of the dictator, but in North Korea there seems no charisma whatsoever, or at least not to a Western observer.
Could someone explain what's going on here?
