Perhaps not justified, universally, but I'm not going to make a sweeping generalization one way or another. Reliable information about internal DPRK dynamics is difficult to come by anyway, when you have to sift through defecors paid by South Korea to make their accounts more shocking, and made up nonsense about haircuts
For the things we do have solid evidence for, namely DPRK foreign policy, You have to take these things on a case by case basis, and place them in their proper historical and political context.
Going around and calling the DPRK a crazy rogue states is at best ignorant of the contributing factors, and at worst actively racist and orientalist.
