Yeonmi Park is a NORTH KOREAN defector and activist, one of the few in the world who successfully fled from North Korea. She tells a heartbreaking, unbelievable story & you should definitely listen to the whole episode. This video does not do her justice, but go ahead and listen to the whole story, your jaw will drop. JRE Episode #1691

[@collybeans586]

She's a known liar. She said in this very podcast that rats were eating the EYES of the people in the hospitals and children would eat the rats and rats would then eat the children lmfao. She's told a million nonsense stories like this. She also claim there is no word for love in North Korea. I mean cmon 😂.. The Grayzone with Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton did a segment about a year ago where this exact lady came up becuase her lying was so outlandishly hilarious. She's an establishment shill. Sorry to burst your bubble. On another note I think you're kinda putting Joe Rogan on blast by posting clips like this one. You fell for the emotional manipulation noob. Get a grip.

[@stpaff]

She is an absolutely incredible woman. The things she has overcome, would cripple most people.

[@barnabusdoyle4930]

The US desperately needs to change their approach and strategy on North Korea. Isolation and sanctions have not only not worked but have also created a regime that has no challengers of any kind in the country. Lift our sanctions and allow them to trade with the world, let businesses get in there and you will improve the lives of all of those people but you will also put in entities capable of challenging the regime. We need to try something different. As much as the North Korean people are suffering because of their own leadership, the US has caused a hundred times more suffering to them with our policies.

My Dad was a strong man. At 5'9", he towered over all 6'3" of me. He never graduated from High School, or went to College. Before he turned 30 years old, he had a wife and 5 children to provide for. We never went hungry, but he did. His clothes got a bit ragged, ours didn't. He worked every day of the week, sometimes two or more shifts. Only once did I really hear him curse his life. Only once, but he saw what it did to us. Saw it in our eyes. I complain too much. I wish I was one twenty part the tithe of my Dad. I'd be ten times the man I am. Still, I may be getting wiser. Nowadays, whatever happens, I think of him. The rest is easy.

When nazis invaded in 1941 and started bombing the city, people tried to flee, there was chaos, thousands of people on the railway station trying to board trains. He stood at the door and said "Until my family is boarded nobody is getting in". And nobody did. I wish I was like him, never knew the guy, he died long before I was born. PS.

My Father was a Hard Warrior (W.W.2, Korea & Vietnam [Twice]) and the Soft Times that he provided for his family through his hard work and sacrifice (plus our country's environment) produced Soft Sons. I always marveled that I could have been the Son of such a Man (Mexican Policeman, Mexican Army, U.S. Army (Master Paratrooper [82nd & 101st Airborne] & Instructor/ Helicopter Mechanic/Pilot & Instructor), 18 Wheel Mechanic + Southern Pacific Railroad Mechanic.). The Soft Times that followed allowed his sons to grow up soft. (Much to our detriment.) I realize that Hard Times are coming and to meet them, I am becoming Hard ahead of those times. It is not easy because I have become so soft but I have to. It will go worse for me if I don't. Getting old, especially alone and without family is not for the weak. I have been given the signals and am responding in kind. I care enough about myself to train and get ready for the Struggles Ahead. Covid, the Poor Political Leadership, the Economy, etc. are just the beginning of the New Hard Times. It will get Harder before it gets Easier.

My dad is far from your typical hardened man in the way we usually imagine one from around the generation of boomer. He is kind, friendly, gets along with everyone and a real softy, they don't write movie dads this good. Yet despite that he was in his own right a strong man, a good masculine figure. He worked hard and if I cast my mind back to my youth now that I am an adult I can say that he could not have earned very much. The car was a piece of crap, we lived in a small town, he came home in overalls, but man he worked and never complained. He would come home to a house full of kids from the neighborhood, and instead of complaining that he had a long day and doesn't want kids around, he came outside and played sport with the kids of the block and you would swear nothing was bothering him. He left work at work and kept his stress to himself. I have said this many times, if I could be half the man he was I would consider myself a success.

Given the size of his head, I suspect he's using steroids which are also illegal. He is uneducated and spouts of about topics he know very little about. He is a commentator for modern day gladiators and has an opinion show. Where exactly is the greatness?? Making lots of money doesn't make one great. This is exactly what is wrong with the US. It's a cult of personality and the people who are truly great and do God's work, no one ever hears about....

This summer I had to stand up for myself after my predatory corporate psychopath manager tried to run me over with outright aggression within a month of me starting - submitted my resignation notice and reported him to HR. After that he only tried passive aggression and snake-in-the grass dirty tricks until my last day.

Well said Joe.

[@sebastianmedeiros9001]

True, but also that means we're at the point where hard times create strong men. Just like fight club it is our duty to become strong and bad responsibility of our country and our people around us. Let's get it!

[@TheKarlslok]

In fight club, in the end the male only group blew up modern female civilization. In the comments here, unfortunately there are only simps eager to be pets to women, and to go shopping at ikea at her whim, carrying her shopping bags saying yes dear. Strong men dont live for female validation, and dont "work" as youtube talking heads. There are no fight club men here.

[@donquixote8462]

The hard times have no really begun yet. We're just at the threshold. Food scarcity is coming. Economic turmoil is coming. Many industries are falling by the wayside. The way we use and distribute energy is in upheaval. Strap yourself in.

[@rolasleyva8602]

Not even close, we are on “weak men create hard times”. Bad times were during both world wars and Great Depression and Spanish flu. And survivors from those times were the strong men. Strong men created good times for Baby boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z. We aren’t in hard times yet.

Only one thing that Joe doesn't see. Blind men also lead to hard times. And Joe has a blind spot.

Watch Hercules Legendary Journeys with Kevin Sorbo. Strong man half god cast out by his father Zeus but he is a good man fighting for the common man against evil. He wants no money no fame no recognition for what he does. Just helps and is a strong idol. Too bad we don’t see that these days but can rewatch it on tv…

There are round holes and square holes, need many different kinda of pegs. The bottom dog in a pack is the first to sound the alarm. A world of alpha males would be sheer hell.

Joe is right i used to be weak skinny kid until i did martial arts and that gave me confidence and i was not a loser anymore.

You were never a loser, that was just your perception and how assholes were labeling you. Stephen Hawking was weak and skinny but he certainly was not a loser. Dude was pulling all the bitches at the physics meets (just for clarification, no girls attended)

JR, you are exactly right. I think that cycle is correct, and where we are in it, unfortunately.

[@kalorakalora]

Totally true - my dad is an insanely strong and strong-willed man. He grew up with very little, had virtually no opportunities in his early life. Middle school education before eventually enlisting. Back then, it wasn't common knowledge yet that myopia precluded one from becoming a pilot so he spent several years working towards a goal he found out right at the end that he wasn't eligible for. He was so set on being a pilot that he said "screw it" and decided to leave military life. Back then in Taiwan, you're only way out for poor folk besides military was education. So he set about studying like a mad-man. Most kids who got into top universities in Taiwan, and much of Asia, even into the modern day, take a ton of supplemental after-school prep classes. Its a real cutthroat rat-race. Dad went with his middle school education and studied 20 hours a day for the next 2 years... right before he was going to take the entrance exams, he got drafted. Because he had volunteered the first time, and left the army without finishing his first term of service, he was eligible for drafting. He then got further unlucky and was sent to Kinmen Island, the closest point of bombardment between Taiwan and China. Each night they'd launch long range rockets at each other, and frogmen from China would sneak onto the island and kill you in your sleep. This is where he studied for the next 2 years, fulfilling all of his military duties during the day and studying at night. He slept 1 hour a day for those years. Eventually he finished his service, went home, and got into the best university in the country on his first try. He then went on to get full-rides to schools in America for his Masters and then his PhD, getting his and my mom's citizenship in the process. My dad is forged of tungsten steel, in large part because of how hard his path in life was. I grew up infinitely more privileged than my dad, and I turned out significantly less educated and weaker than him. I have no problem in admitting this. I screwed up many times in life, and was more ok with screwing up because I knew I had a strong dad who would bail me out of most kinds of trouble I'd get myself in. My dad had no such option, his only real option was to try hard enough so as to never fail. So yeah, in the span of a 2 generations within 1 family this played out exactly to the letter. Hard times made my dad strong, he made life for his kids a lot easier, I turned out to be a much weaker man than my dad, and hope to one day be a tenth the man that he is. And if I don't get my act together more, one day my kids will be the ones going through hard times because of their weak father.

[@lawrencelazaro8400]

i would not agree that we are in tough times joe. it gets much much worse.

[@elkarlos814]

Exactly. Fortunately, 99.999% of America has never seen tough times to know them. But if it doesn't get it's fat, lazy ass off the couch, they are quite possibly coming.

My Father left us ( I was 3) to go abroad and earn. He provided for all of us, my Mother worked her ass off during that same time. 16 years, in all that time they met for a sum of 3 years (per year they would meet a month sometimes two or a week). When he came back, he wasnt the same man. We werent the same either. I went through so much pain in his absence. I wasnt safe. But i didnt give up. I built myself into a hardhitting monster. My fathers pride isnt me achieving that, but only using that in times of need. Its been 6 years since he came back, my parents gave ecerything to build this family. Today I follow in their footsteps. Making sure they are loved, cared for and safe. My dad and I had issues. He was used to doing everythibg alone (so was i). Thrn ofcourse the huge gap cuz of his absence in my developmental events. If he was weak, i wouldnt be typing this. If my mother was weak, i wouldnt be typing this. If i was weak, i wouldnt be typing this. Being sensitive, caring, loving isnt a weakness. Always being a victim in thinking is.
