It's what we should do with North Korea. Drop enormous quantities of food everywhere. So much more effective than just propaganda or bombs.
Although you could drop small video players with some relevant material on sdcard.

Food would be nice, medicine would be better, all labeled with the American flag, and after five years of this the brainwashed people might, might see America as a savior.
They won't be able to claim it as theirs because you'd label all the food in English and Korean. With a picture of people of different ethnicities hold hands and smiling.
Oh, also you'd drop appropriate medicine as well, because many NK's are riddled with parasites.
Again - do we have any evidence that this might be true? From what I understand, the NorK true believers are actually true believers. I have a friend, nominally intelligent, who has decided to become a flat-earther. (I don't know why). He is immune to evidence at this point. It's the weirdest thing you ever did see. Do we have any evidence that the NorK military would be any different?
FWIW - I do admire your optimism.
It's a tough choice. Dropping large amounts might get military action. Kim could say it's food today, but they will start dropping poison to look like food. The medicine is ok now, but it will be poison next! Shoot it down! Burn it! I think these poor folks are so brainwashed it will take a long time of systematic kindness to make a dent.
Other communist regimes exiled your entire extended family to prison camps for such things. Do this for 50 years, add propaganda night and day and what you said doesn't happen.

Thought that was common knowledge nowaydays.
Do we have any evidence that this is true? (Of course, we'd have to agree on what our objectives are)

I'm assuming that the intended recipients could re-charge these video playback devices? It's not clear to me that possession wouldn't be considered the equivalent of a stoning offense. Certainly that's the way Pol Pot would have dealt with it. And killed everyone who didn't tattle on the viewer-holder in the first place too...
