I wish I had advice. There's some videos from this YouTube channel that I could try to find a out bugging out but I can't remember the titles, just let me know and I'll try.

Except it doesn't? Any of the things TikTok would do it can still do when it reconnects to another Wifi network, or the cellular service, location tracking, etc. It's not like TikTok is a worm that stays on a network – it records data more than uploads it.

I'm not sure how much people really care if the "oh fucks" and "unh yeahs" are in their mother tongue...

I don't have the exact dates, but South Korea gets framed as having always been this multiparty liberal democracy when it was a right wing military dictatorship into the 90s.

People often want to frame North Korea as being behind, less developed, and whatnot, and will insinuate its inherent to its government structure. But, life expectancy, education, and economics in the North all outpaced the South while both countries were totalitarian and authoritarian.

Then, economic liberalisation in the south lead to a stronger economy that created the popular image of South Korea in people's minds today, meanwhile the Soviet Union collapsed, meaning that the North's economic security was weakened as it lost a trading partner and ally.

The metrics that people point to now as evidence of why North Korea is a "bad" country only came about within the last few decades, even though much of those same metrics have been true for capitalist countries for far longer.

Amerikkka draws a big line down the middle of Korea with a crayon

This is reductive. The line wasn't unilaterally drawn by American troops, it was the agreed-upon meeting place for the US and Soviet allies. Then the US wouldn't play ball with organizing free and fair elections (they insisted on banning left-wing parties).

Far more productive in talking with Liberals is bringing up that North Korea was the higher GDP, higher life expectancy, and whatnot up until the 90s, and that it was

checks notes

The collapse of Soviet economic support and the end of the military junta in South Korea that is to blame for the DRPK's woes, not it's socialism.

wasn't "Russian" a category on most porn sites for the duration of the 2000s?

Invading Russia = making political inroads into their historical sphere of influence. The "existential" threat to Russia is that it loses its historic colonial outposts.

If the rules of "secularism" disproportionately impact people only of certain religions then that is displaying favoritism, implicitly saying "this religion is approved, this religion is not". That's not very secular.
