My dad understood fighting to protect family is important, but he was against the military industrial complex and forced false wars (Cuban Missile Crisis was propaganda Castro was milking to create more problems for the people). My dad is no longer around, passed over, but his words and stories about standing your ground peacefully and only fight to defend your family... his words and actions on being yourself and doing what is right live on.

America is the golden cage, North Korea is the rusted cage, at least the rusted cage can be escaped, people in the golden cage don't even realize that they are in a cage because it is golden and shiny. It looks freer but it is a much stronger prison. With the illusion of freedoms. They never even try to escape it.

@@aoeu256 I am from Norway. The only reasons socialism "works" here is because of the revenue gained by the oil & gas industry, 98% self sufficient in electricity from hydro power and fish export. With out these industries we would not be wealthy at all. Norway can only fund this socialist system because these industries, and people in Norway pay about about 50% in taxes (labor ≈30% + everyday items ≈15-25%). We run on huge deficits and have one of the highest concentration of debt in Europe, because of huge Government programs (as every other country that have a big state). Besides, it is very hard to start small businesses here because of taxations and regulations. On the positive side, it is also a higher trust among people because that is in our culture, and the top politicans don't earn as much as in i.e. the US or Venezuela and are more like the average Joe and Jane than politicians in other countries.

This young woman is my new hero! God bless her and keep her...she is such an inspiration I'm sure to so many. I give this interview an A+! I agreed with everything she said. Everyone in THIS country should hear her speak. For those that complain how terrible this country is...they have no idea how blessed they are. And as Yeonmi said, they say these things, yet they do not leave. I believe they should all go to a socialist country and live there for a year, if they can survive that. Or better, go to where Yeonmi escaped from, North Korea and then China. IF they survive, I'm sure they will have a change of heart. Yeonmi has a heart of gold and a deep understanding of what is right and what is wrong in this world. May she continue to be blessed in her good works and her kindness.

@@mel1723 I think he meant the popo can regularly stop (not arrest) him for questioning since they know it likely won't escalate into tragedy (aka, no instant fear for your life, mostly just an inconvenience answering questions and dealing with possibly unpleasant attitude). Hence, the cops can later claim they "did their job properly", precisely because they expected the interaction to go relatively smoothly with someone from his demographic. I'm exactly in the same situation, but in reverse: I'm like the inadvertent "safety white boy" when walking alongside a diverse group that might otherwise have a hard time with them. Truth be told, in both cases, the notion of white privilege comes into play in two different manners, but in a more day-to-day setting where the actors involved don't necessarily own mansions called the Montgomery Domain.

The whole concept of being “triggered” has roots in an old idea regarding teaching and learning in K-12 schools. That idea is that developing “self esteem” in students is more important than teaching/ learning or the students’ answers being correct. “Self esteem” was built by never contradicting students … meaning that teaching was removed from school and replaced by self-affirmation. So, now, it is not surprising that students are upset when their views are challenged or contradicted. Psychologists now know that the “self esteem” approach is totally invalid, but I see it continues to be deployed in schools.

I'm German and we have been subjected to this. Even though WWII is over for almost 80 years and I've been born decades after it ended, I have nothing do to with it, my parents hadn't and my grandparents had the most horrific youth, but were way too young to be politically involved or influential at that time, yet, the amount I've been called a N*** or were judged for the past or what my country did almost 100 years ago, is astonishing. My country is the only one I've come across (and I had the privilege to travel & live in a lot), that actually reflected on its past & I'm so proud of that. I do think reflecting & taking responsibility is very important. In a clumsy way, I think that's what woke tries to do perhaps, because for so many nations it hasn't happened yet... I think there's a lot of denial going on. But cancel-culture or hating on specific people, is so dangerous. Or having certain narratives either way that have nothing to do with truth, evidence or rationality. But I never understood how, for example, the UK, US, Australia or France... get away with so much stuff. In my personal experience, especially the USA/Americans, I gotta say, were very judgemental about Germany's past... I'm kinda of at a point where I'm like "Excuse me, says who?"
