  • When it comes to woke even North Korea isn't this crazy, argues Yeonmi Park, a North Korean who fled the socialist country aged just thirteen. Park features in the first episode of Off Script, a new Telegraph video podcast exploring the culture wars. In this series of no holds barred long-form interviews, The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton sits down with world-leading commentators to unpick them. New episodes on Fridays.

My dad when he was alive would tell stories how he was sent to prison for disagreeing with the government and not wanting to join the communist army. 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.

      @@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.

      The same is true of Capitalism, except we ignore how many times the Rothschild's owned Banking consortium keeps robbing us blind with their build to burst economies that keep stealing away our civil liberties and all of our freedoms. America is a plutocracy, not a real democracy. Wage slavery to these foreign banksters is far better in Amerikkka. Fascism is on the rise globally due to these capitalist banksters robbing all nations with their build to burst free market economies. At least we have the illusion of freedom here, it makes us more compliant wage slaves. Remember always that the golden cage is even harder to escape than the rusted cage is. 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. At least the rusted cage is an obvious prison which can be escaped because it is poorly maintained. No one escapes the golden cage. Because they cannot see it is a cage.

    Yeonmi is such an inspiration. This interview is absolutely on-point and sums up concisely what is wrong with the western mindset of so many ‘oppressed’ individuals.
    Her book detailing her childhood experiences and defection from NK is harrowing.

    The Interviewee and the interviewer, Both are awesome. This was such a nice interview. The Interviewer was genuinely interested and kind. Ms.Park is so admirable. I saw another side of the world that I didn't even know existed through her words. Makes me aware of my own freedom and how I should be grateful for it and how I need to work hard and be positive for creating a better future for the upcoming generation.After all, It is my duty to do so.

      ​@@Flamingpiano Agree! We don't have to agree 100% on everything, we can find out if we agree 40% or 80% of what we agree with after listening to someone's speech. Sometimes the fake woke people would assume that we have to agree 200%.

      @saintpotato5 Před 2 lety +6

      That's a mature opinion right there. The saddest thing is there are still people out there who are gonna disagree with the same 20% or 30% but will start calling to cancel her.
      What a powerful tool we have: cancel. If utilized properly, it could've been a true force for good. If only we hadn't started cancelling random people every week for something stupid they said when they were 16. What a waste..
