unfortunately most of them will wish to go back to the way things were - being born a slave means you won't know what to do with freedom. Their children will be better off. Their grandchildren can hope to catch up with South Korea.

The most dangerous domestic terrorist group are the libertarian anti-government goons, like those idiots who were planning to kidnap my governor. So, by speaking on "libertarian" topics, she's probably caught up in that net designed to keep terrorist speech off KZbin. Something important to keep in mind: To have nine people stand around in a field while a tenth person hits a ball with a stick requires a rule book that's about 140-pages long. One-hundred forty pages of rules to play baseball. Now try to imagine writing an algorithm to keep KZbin free of hate speech and safe for children. No matter how good you do, there will _always_ be people getting shafted by your system. It's just the way it is. everysecond.io/youtube

Well, the US are so rich and well-off because of their historical treatment of other nations, from NK to Yugoslavia, to Vietnam, to eternity. If you played by the rules and weren't the global tyrant, life wouldn't be such a walk in the park. Maybe in 10, 20 years the truth about the Ukrainian conflict will start to come out, and the revelations will be stunning. NK is a shame in its current state, but let the other nations decide for themselves how they want to live and what they want to do.

Right??? Especially because she's an escapee - you would have that CONSTANT fear in the back of your mind that at some point, you will get caught and sent back. And then because you've posted all these videos, when that happens you will be executed for it. The idea that that could happen must be so terrifying, every single day of your life. I can't imagine the bravery it takes to go public like this.

I have a PTSD from experiences in MY country - and it's in Eastern Europe... we have freedom but many times we're being treated very inhumanely by the government institutions and the medical staff. I once here worked at a job where you had to go to the bathroom in the bushes (in the public park) - or hold it for 6 hours or so. There were no proper tools, we did a dirty manual job, and couldn't wash our hands afterwards, not even before lunch. Getting up at 5am wasn't an easy task either. I was even purposely given a place to work as far away from my home so I couldn't return for a lunch break. It ain't that hard for me to imagine North Korea... But I have to say communism in the Soviet Union was a much better "place" to be than some post-soviet countries... At least we had advanced medicine and were treated with dignity. I'm glad this girl is in the US now... I wish everyone (especially from NK) would get the chance to travel where they wish.

Since you apparently can't count, that was BEFORE Trump became President. They have been torturing their people for about 70 years, which means that Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton , AND Obama did nothing about them, either. Clinton, btw, gave them nuclear technology and buttloads of cash - delivered in person by Carter - if they promised to be nice to their people and not make nuclear weapons with the tech. And when it was clear that they WERE making weapons, he did nothing about it.

The split between north and south Korea was not that long ago, it's been 71 years since the split, and a lot of people in South Korea still have family in North Korea. What sucks the most is that the divide most likely wouldn't have happened if America didnt force their way in, saying they'll free everyone, only to make both South and North Korea suffer from hunger since they're gluntious bastards and then just left after 3/4 years of doing nothing except stealing all the rice. Then they left South Korea to deal with the issues of North Korea, only for South Korea said "fuck it" and looked away from North Korea. It's frustrating to know there wouldnt be this issue if America didn't try to make this their business, because if they didnt try that bs, it's possible South Korea and North Korea would have both been free countries right now, instead of just the one.

The farmers are not allowed keep their crops or sell it themselves because this would mean that they are capitalist. However, the state is providing very poorly for its people and they have to go to black markets to buy necceseties. The point is not that they get nothing but that do not get enough. This was worst during the famine but once enough people died and less food was required, it got "better".

You should look up Native Americans. Their women and children make up most of the worlds missing and killed and yet they have the least amount of people. The police literally don't report over 30% of the cases. Or Aboriginals in Australia. If you really want some horror, look up the Tibetian genocide China just finished. I also wish people would stop talking about police brutality and start looking at the black woman who woke up alive in a body bag in August. :( Black people especially black women get less life-saving medical care than other races. Which you most likely know already but most people don't :( There is crazy and crazier shit all over the world the media won't acknowledge so no one knows about and it makes people like you feel isolated as a race, and all people ignorant to things all around them. Because both the left and right push narratives that only help their cause while keeping us barking at each other.

Just because there is a worse place to be does not mean we should tolerate curuption or injustice in our society. Of course life in North Korea has greater hardships, but if everyone starts to let things slide because of that then eventually there will be nowhere safe left. Nowhere is perfect which means that everywhere still has things that need to be fixed and things that are important to fight for. The world does its best to take away peoples power, young peoples in particular, and I for one an honered to live in a society where people don't let that happen and instead use it to fight against things they know are wrong.

F A K E T E A R S O N P R E T T Y F A C E Please do your due diligence and research this woman's credibility. She has already been exposed as a fraud exaggerating/fabricating her claims. Her stories have been inconsistent and contradictory over the years, raising questions as to the veracity of her claims. Anyone who is tempted to believe that this woman might be telling the truth should look up ***. Park Yeonmi is a compulsive liar and a narcissist. She has been caught in a million lies and simply profits off her NK sob story and by virtue signaling. No better than Greta Thunburg!!!!! Short version, her story is full of holes and she has changed it multiple times (she can't even remember it consistently which is a problem with people who make things up since things that actually happened are just plain easier to remember than things you made up for profit.) Also see "Why do North Korean defector testimonies so often fall apart?" in The Guardian. The combination of cash incentives (from various political organizations as well as the government) and the media’s constant pursuit for disturbing stories encourage refugees to exaggerate for financial rewards as well as popularity which in her case, she was able to use to tour the world AND become an actress. Also look up North Korean defector Shin Dong-hyuk who wrote a bestselling book about his life in a gulag he was never actually in and admitted the fact AFTER earning vast sums of money with a memoir which he made up.! We have to do a great job in putting together a very strong case that exposes Park as a deceitful opportunist & charlatan who took advantage of the Western society's goodwill & sympathy for her own financial gain. I also noticed that she seems to really enjoy the spotlight & relish in her celebrity status, which made me very weary about her real motives. But her contradictions, distortions & lies can't be excused away or justified. So many commenters here have made asinine remarks about trauma, developing memories, age counting differences, etc. in order to deny or deflect the objective facts presented here. Really sad that people become so emotionally invested in someone like Park to the point they are unable or unwilling to critically analyze the reality & the facts that clearly demonstrate her manipulation & fabrication of the facts. She can't seem to get her story straight . Anything about the life about her family is said to be lies. Life in North Korea may be shit. Life in many countries of the world is shit. She was never a “defector”. At most she is a refugee, at least, an economic migrant. Her mother and herself lives like princesses according to testimony of people who knew her while she lived in the DPKR. She has become a Millionaire and is living the dream. She didn't waste any time capitalizing on the misfortunes of her fellow North Koreans. Really sucks that KZbin has made it so easy for con artists to create a channel with a fake bleeding heart story and get super rich off the caring public that falls for it. There's so much of this going on across many different subjects. ***Please google this: "The Strange Tale of Yeonmi Park" in The Diplomat

Just like if there are killers out there does not mean that people who are not murdered are so lucky and blah, blah, blah. Quit being so dramatic you snowflake.

@Alex M dude, get the fu€k outta here! I have been to DRNK seven times on "vacation" and what I was able to see/photo when I could get more than a meter away from my "handlers" was more appalling than my time working in Senegal where people didn't have access to most things we take for granted. I saw a fat-ass Supreme douchebag living the lap of luxury while the people that actually do something for the true betterment of the country are starving for a tyrant that has systematically brainwashed every citizen since birth. The fact that my algorithm caught your BS link on over 1200 comments from 14 separate defectors speaks your truth. I've seen it and THANK GOD my shoes were the only thing they didn't search when departing or I'd still be there, just probably beaten to death!

There are some kids here in N. America go without lunch and dinner sometimes too. There were many times I went to bed without dinner. My mother made "too much" to get state help. But she was pretty irresponsible too. Sorry, just had to input that. Lol. What's going on with those kids in North Korea is sad tho. They shouldn't have to worry, be hungry, or work manual labor.

Who wants that on their conscience? 😔 I’m so sad for them.

Thats what we call "communism, " its basically citizens accepting their government to watch out for them because they believe too much freedom could harm things. If you are too much to the right, you end up in the Facist side (take a look at WW2 germany and it's cause for being too much to the right).

@@mbr41 Communism works in theory. It has never worked in practice. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Human beings are greedy and power hungry, and when you become the person in charge of everyone and everything, there is so much temptation to get carried away. This is what has happened throughout history. None of the leaders of communist countries are held to the same constraints as their citizens. They also don’t allow any criticism of their actions. It’s a system where a small group of elite people control and micromanage the entire lives of everyone else, whilst not following the same rules themselves. That isn’t a system of equality. There are other alternatives to communism that aren’t naziism 😂🤷🏼‍♀️🤔
