North Koreans do not rise up because they are taught that the rest of the world is in much worse shape than they are. They're taught from childhood that their "Dear Leader" is almost a God and will look after them and that America is evil. And if it is even suspected that you harbor unpatriotic thoughts you and your entire family are put in a gulag to be worked to death and starved. No outside news gets in and every bit of information they receive is filtered by the government. Until the people can be taught that there is an alternative to the way they live it will be business as usual and no uprisings.
