There's a lot of work involved in keeping the flame of liberty from burning out. You're doing your part Yeonmi 🗽👍.
Yeonmi is a gift to the free world!
Driving home from work, saw a fatal accident, somebody dead, pinned under a car, has "PTSD" for a FULL THREE WEEKS just seeing that! I hope he found his safe place.
As the saying goes. Easy times make for soft men, hard times make for strong men.
Also, the better things are, the more trivial, people find things to complain about.
If you gave people a brick of gold, the first thing most people would do, is complain about how heavy it is.
Yeonmi, you are a very beautiful person inside and out. We love you, your courage is great. God bless you. 💕🕊️🌷
That’s true , I’m from Brazil and there is so much death that it’s hard to explain to other rich Brazilians and foreigners
Yeah I think it’s something we definitely can’t comprehend and I’m sorry for the ones that have to.💞
Can't Wait 😀
I as an American I can agree to this a bit become a majority of people here in my opinion.
Waiting
Superrrb Awesome Fantastic video
She's coming to University of Iowa today O.o
Most therapists don’t have the tools to help
Can I get a heart for your oldest subscriber 😅
I wish you hadn’t lied so much in your book. It’s absolutely a stab in the heart to NK survivors who are honest.
I just read the book. What was a lie?
You must be an expert on North Korean survivors. You attempted a nice try at attempting to make things up. Must be hard for you to hear the truth
@@duncanstives She’s given three different accounts of burying her father’s body and how he died. She claimed to climb a mountain in between NK and China. There was no mountain. Her mother has come out and said they never starved. She claimed so many things and became the celebrity she is today because of lies. I’m kicking myself and feeling like an absolute idiot for falling for it. What’s even worse is that people are going to doubt other NK survivors’ stories.
@@imamuggle02 I have heard the accounts and the supposed “differences” are very clearly simplifications for the sake of brevity in specific contexts… If the core topic in a particular discussion is not her fathers deaths to say that she buried his ashes invites questions about how a human trafficking victim would have access to a crematorium likewise saying she not mention to presence of her traffickers henchmen avoids the complex topic of her relationship with him. It is always necessary to simplify non-core points otherwise it would take all day to have a conversation. We all do this constantly and automatically yet it’s only a sign of “lying” when it comes to someone like this. The fact that you question the story of her father’s death and the mountain thing specifically is suspicious… Those are the main two points harped on in NK’s painfully cringe and somewhat hard to watch propaganda piece about her not to mention the many more slick variants on tik tok (almost certainly originating in China) repeating the exact same talking points… The mountain one doesn’t even make sense. Adult, native English speakers call hills “mountains” all the time in America… You really think a starving barely literate child can tell the difference? Come on that’s a joke. The places in the locations and escape routes discussed in the book all check out on Google Earth (I was trying to avoid work at work while listening to the audio book… My coworkers are pretty used to seeing me plan SXS routes in Kentucky and Tennessee on google earth but probably still thought it really odd that I was zooming around the Chinese/North Korean border for an hour at my desk 🤣)
Ok, I saw the title, made me a little miffed. You're around privileged Americans. Marginalized people are PLENTY accustomed to the reality of death around them. Especially indigenous people. Especially Black people. Are you only hanging around people who are white, straight, and middle class? I mean, I think this rubbed me the wrong way because we quite literally have days in the queer community where we get together and read off the names of our dead. And people who lived through the aids crisis have seen more death than any of us. Death that the government could have researched and prevented but didn't, perpetuating stigmas about gay people instead. But yeah, seeing death or being around it, getting used to the idea that the person you're talking to may very well be gone the next day - that's a reality for plenty of marginalized Americans and if you don't understand that, then you're just going to become part of the problem.
That is not the same thing, at all. We have our struggles in America (speaking as a black woman) but once you start researching the conditions in North Korea and comparing them, nothing we experience in modern day America is even close.
We don't have concentration camps, we don't live fearing that if our close relatives did something that we'll also be taken to jail to be tormented over it, we don't send our kids to school hoping they won't get arrested or get us arrested for saying the wrong thing, we don't walk the streets and see carts of dead people being picked up because they've starved to death every day, we are not forced to stay in this country. We have people fleeing TO America, not from it, for a reason.
We live in a country where an average of 11% of our population are below the poverty line (with the highest rate of poverty states only having 12% of their population living in poverty) and roughly the same amount experience starvation.
Over 60% of North Koreans are below the poverty line. Most do not have any type of access to regular sources of food or electricity. They do not have rights, they do not have access to knowledge that enables them to better themselves, they do not have the choice to leave, they do not have the means to rebel, they do not have the right to protest, they do not have any say in who rules over them.
America is far from a perfect country but comparing the experiences of the average or even unfortunate American to most other countries, especially a dictatorship, is not reasonable. To put it simply. They do have it worse in North Korea. There are no ifs ands or butts.
It's not an insult to Americans.
Sometimes we do need an outside perspective.
Sometimes we do need to look at our country from another viewpoint and learn to appreciate what we do have and how far our country has already come and changed despite being relatively "young" for a country with so much world power.
Of all the places you could have been born and raised in, you could have done A LOT worse.
Yeonmi i like you and think you're cool but PLEASE don't fall far into the right-wing.
Or left, they are the same
@@joycepray1132 Agreed
Bro she today within like the first 10 minutes of her speech at my school went "At my university, they taught me 10,000 pronouns. And my teacher told me I had to be woke." 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

She is getting paid to be right-wing honestly. Who KNOWS what she actually believes, it's making her money
