What North Korean Defectors Think Of North Korea | STAY CURIOUS #1 |
|
North Korea is still the shining example of a Maoist state.
Mao was the guy who thought Lenin and Stalin weren't quite commie enough. The Soviets had a 5-year plan for taking over their private industries... Mao simply lined up all the private business owners and land owners in China, and killed them or enslaved them, over a period of just a few months. China evolved. (Mao's probably rolling over in his grave right now). North Korea didn't. They're still that bass-ackwards country that forces 99% of its citizens to eat grass citizens and bow before the great Supreme Leader. Why the fuck anybody can look at that shit and think Maoism or communism is a good idea is beyond me. |

Wag the dog.
As much as our leadership and the MSM make Best Korea out to be the savages they are, chances are that they are actually a great country. |

...And the poverty level in the US think they have it bad?
Waaaah, my iphone only gets 3G Waaaah, my flat screen is only 55". |

I am always suspicious of the eating grass thing, as it sounds like propaganda to me. You wouldn't live long doing that.
Lots of documentaries on the workers in shipyards and wood cutting camps, they are treated very poorly, and those are the ones they trust to work outside of North Korea. Lots of cameras go places and film things in North Korea that they don't want filmed. Crazy place. |

Meh, im thinking of buying a summer home there. Great place. Don't believe the fake news.

I saw some documentary on defectors years ago and one thing that stuck with me was a defector that was let down by the experience. She was bummed when she learned she would have to get a job in SK, learn a skill or just be an assembly line worker, pay bills, and all that. She liked the freedom and was amazed by things like grocery stores, but somehow thought life in SK was going to be hassle-free or something.

View Quote After what we have seen in the past year, why would any person with half a brain accept any of this shit as fact? It's a YouTube video, produced to elicit an emotional reaction. Conditions may be like Cuba due to the sanctions, maybe, but the Norks still have the Chicoms, unlike Cuba with their USSR backers. I am, and have always been of the opinion, that this is one big pysop to keep one of the Axis of Evil powers as a bogeyman for our citizens to fear. |

View Quote I think I see the angle your coming from with this. If fat boy, and his line are wiped the hell out, and if not a united Korea,at least a North Korea ran by people not being 110% fucktards, I bet the North Koreans would actually adapt to the modern world faster than most of the expert think. Once they aren't starving to death 24/7/365 I bet they would go into beast mode. North Korea has a lot to go for it if it wasn't ran by some Swiss Cheese addicted fat fuck, and we weren't scared of the ChiComs pissing and moaning. Even the ChiComs know North Korea is gonna die sooner than later. Why not just deal with it now? Fix the place people will go back home instead of being roughly refugees on the border working semi legal/illegal jobs. South Korea is a bigger trading partner than North Korea by a lot. Want a basic DMZ at the Chinese border? Why not? South Korea don't wanna invade anyone anyways. Get rid of fat boy, and his bloodline, and I bet the North gets up to speed at a near miracle rate. Shit yo stopping the starvation alone would infuse the North I bet. Assuming they aren't brainwashed for reals at least. I suspect they are not, but act like they know they have to act in front of a camera. Toss a steady diet of food in front of them, and I bet they rapidly forget what they have lived through half a century plus. At least this is what I suspect. I may be wrong. |

We have done everything we can to avoid a war there, to include giving in to their extortion countless times. No one likes the MSM, but when your hatred of them drives you into an almost insane level of useful idiocy, well you might have a problem. Or maybe you're just trolling, in that case kudos. |

I wonder if we could get our Dear Leader to move there come January? I hear he will be needing a new residence and communications to and from the free world is excellent in Best Korea!

So 12 year olds have their own tv's in north korea??? Something's funkey. View Quote No,she certainly meant the family TV although portable compact DVD devices are a huge commodity to smuggle in from China to watch pirated South Korean shows. Nork families were given locally produced TVs pre-tuned for only their channels for the purpose of spreading propaganda,it being mandatory to watch addresses and so forth...even if there might not be electricty to do so. Watching an unlicensed TV capable of viewing un-jammed ROK broadcasts or DVDs is tantamount to undermining the state. |

If anyone would like further reading, there is a book called A Thousand Miles to Freedom written by Eunsun Kim, a DPRK defector who details her journey from North to South Korea. It is also available in audiobook on audible. The man and woman in the video, as horrible as it sounds, don't do it justice.

As much as we'd all love to believe the vid 100%...
Seems more like propaganda. They seem to follow specific talking points and haven't been there in a long time, judging by when they 'escaped' vs how old they are now. WTF does a 12y/o know about anything... |
