I don't know that it matters. I mean noir has at base that we
are all screwed. So USA, or North Korea, it doesn't matter.
Unless an aspect of noir is that some of us are more screwed
then others. (I could see this since it contributes to the
sense of injustice.)
I mean, unless your Kim Jong Ill, if you live in NK your
screwed in a very practical way. If you live in the US your
screwed partly because of the delusion that your not screwed.
(ala existensialism and the tendancy for humans to cling to
traditional systems depsite evidence that they are not
valid.)
