I am watching this in Feb 2024 and it was uploaded 10+ years ago and it still feels like it could've been filmed last month.

[@ChrisLegg17]

@@bball3048mmfr Same for me! I have a theory, see if you agree after having watched this: We know that China has re-education camps for people who are caught practicing religion, and they disapprove of believing in any kind of god. I believe they have more metrics to determine if someone believes in a higher power outside of this world than just their personal confession or denouncement of faith. And so if there are simply people who cannot be broken (as in they continue to fail these potentially odd metrics of determination from within their camps) - What if they are sent to North Korea? And so all along North Korea is simply a giant penal colony for Chinese citizens who are seen as "wanting to worship a god". As if to say China is hatefully spiteful towards those who cannot be broken; "if they want to worship a god, they may worship a god". And in truth Kim Jong-un is simply the hired warden, but they are made to be his subjects and worship him as their god as punishment for their crimes of faith. (I do also understand that children are born there, and is an unfortunate consequence). What do you think of this theory to explain the nature of North Korea? And imagine that it is necessary to hide this relationship between China and North Korea from the world for trade relation reasons.

Go figure....

[@daniellevin3056]

Alexander Patrick Criticism of the regime or the leadership in North Korea, if reported, is enough to make you and your family ‘disappear’ from society and end up in a political prison camp. It goes without saying that there is no free media inside the country. The only opinion allowed to be voiced inside the country is the regime’s. It is illegal for the North Korean people to leave their country without the regime’s permission, and the regime attempts to restrict the people’s movement even inside their own country. If you wish to travel to another part of the country, you are supposed to have a specific purpose and obtain permission from your work unit. If you do not live in Pyongyang, the showcase capital where most resources are concentrated, you will likely be denied access. The regime has also forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of North Koreans to less favorable parts of the country as a form of punishment and political persecution. Who's the real puppet pulling strings in NK?
