A lot of time, the things we so that are so horrific to us is basically a wake up call for the millions of people who are living a good blessed life. We all need to love each other more and not be so focused on the materialistic or pettiness that rule a lot of our lives and they reflect on these international horrors.

      Yeonmi is talking about the situation in the country when she was growing up, i.e. during the height of the '90s famine. When, bc of the USSR & Communism almost everywhere collapsing, there was no one left to subsidize North Korea & make up for the disastruous state that the economy was in...
      And even then, it was ofc the bottom 20-30% most likely, that had to experience such tough conditions. Things got a bit better from the 2000s onwards, but during the Covid lockdowns the situation was becoming dire again - for the *poorest* parts of the population.

      no they weren’t and a lot of what she says is complete garbage.
      Like this video here.
      Would you like a link to a video where she is talking about how she misses her old town and the beach and sunbathing and how she misses the seafood barbecues.
      That’s not what starving people do or have to eat.
      It’s also been pointed out that she doesn’t speak the North Korean dialect.
      Don’t trust this one. Her story has changed so many times and has contradicted herself so many times.
      I’ve watched easily about a hundred of her videos and accounts other “defectors” and I watched and read up on DPRK for about 15 years.
      How is this woman not functionally retarded and wracked with learning difficulties if she never went to school like she clammed and was always sent in work parties and only learned about Kim jong il propaganda, she said she wasn’t taught mathematics and other important subjects and she didn’t know anything of other countries.
      But she’s out speaking English and is able to function and hold conversations, write speeches in a foreign language and is technologically savvy, which other North Koreans have struggled with.
      Her story has to keep evolving because this is her bread and butter and how she makes a living and she charges an extortionate fee for speaking at functions.
      She wouldn’t have an earner if her story didn’t change.
      Also the three generational punishment is a lot of crap too.
      There are accounts of defectors being caught 4 or 5 times trying to escape and have been given prison sentences and retried upon their release.
      There is no way you could raise a baby in a total control zone when you are given no food and are worked to death.
      Who is going to care for the children to grow up, the north korean soldiers?
      That means they must give the mothers time off and let the prisoners have sex.
      There is absolutely no way a woman could carry a child until full term breast feed and raise another human being in these conditions. It’s not possible, especially if they get no food.
      And how are you going to have people work in a work camp if you don’t feed them.
      It doesn’t make sense and it is absolute nonsense.
      The three generation thing was after the war were they rounded up those who weren’t loyal to the party and imprisoned them to get rid of any possible insurrections and to have the slave labour they needed to rebuild the country.
      But they don’t have it now.
      God, there is a town of North Korean defectors living in a city in China right across the river who live and work in China and some travel back and forward between the two countries daily.
      That doesn’t sound to me like they are hunted and running from being executed.

      That WILL BE OUR COUNTRY at the rate and direction we are going. What she says, is completely legitimate. You better be careful what bullshit rolls out of your mouth And be grateful for what we have in this Great Nation. 30 or 40 years from now you will be eating your words, and your children will have to live with what you have done to uphold or to tear down the values of our country. No one is Dying to get into North Korea, Russia, Cuba, China, Belarus, Ukraine, Venezuela etc… They ARE Dying to get Here, to live in This Nation, to have a chance at a future HERE EVERY Single day. We are SO f*cking lucky. I challenge you to go to this man’s channel and watch her entire interview. You will definitely find it interesting. Also, check out (what happened to) Otto Warmbier. You can find his story on CZcams.
