Wanted to wait until both parts released to post this here.
"Real freedom means respecting other's freedom as much as you value your own".
Someone get this man a green card.
They brain wash [i]kindergartners[/i]? The whole propaganda part was shocking
Woah what? Taught in kindergarten to "smash american bastards"? They had school competitions to see who could stab an american soldier (dummy) faster? This is the kind of stuff you only hear about in parody, but it's legit.
After watching and reading probably a hundred different interviews and articles about North Korean defectors over the past 10 years it really is a depressing place.
The one that really stuck with me was a story about a mother and her two children who were travelling through the countryside to visit family in another village, and they hadn't eaten in a while because they had very little money. Before they visit their family they finally stopped at a small food stall in the village, ate, and then met their family. They told them they had eaten in the village, and the family froze up and slowly asked "Did you have pork, or chicken?" and they replied chicken.
Their family asked them that because food had been running so low in that village, some vendors had been selling human meat as pork.
The country is all kinds of messed up.
It's pretty incredible that a government like this is allowed to exist in the world.
It's a country that is run by men with the minds of children.

Now that's not a nice way to talk about the USA.

Then there's the internment/concentration camps. That shit makes the soviet system look like a paradise. The soviets gave you ten years in the gulag. The north koreans give you, your family, your children and your children children life sentences.

And then the part that the GULAG was running for 30 years in full concentration camps mode and then was reorganized, almost 80% of all prisoners were amnestied. Poor North Koreans are 'enjoying' it non-stop since the beginning and to this day, and its way worse.
I cannot even begin to comprehend what its like to live in a country where Stalin never died.
What alarms me most about the DPRK is just how opaque it is. All we can rely on is their own propaganda (which generally tells semi-truthful things in a massively exaggerated fashion, mixed in with total lies), and testimony from defectors. We have no real way to verify anything, and any 'solution' to the horrific regime would probably lead to anywhere from tens of thousands to even millions of deaths.
Shit's fucked.
