Life goal: live out of my car and travel the continental United States. You can’t truly appreciate your roots until you’ve explored every nook and cranny. I haven’t given up on you, America!

I honestly feel so bad for the innocent North Korean Citizens

MEANWHILE, let’s discuss some reality.
For many years, all teachers in NorK had to play the accordion. It was a requirement. I am not making that up.

Bruh, up till like 2005 elementary school teachers with the exception of foreign English in South Korea needed to know how to play the recorder.

Haircuts are government approved. There is not a very long list.

If you go to public school in South Korea there’s a school approved which is a government approved restrictions to how long your hair can be. JSYK.

Entire families will disappear in the dead of night, spirited away to prison camps. To drive this point home: When Kim Jong Ill died, not mourning him properly was enough to be sentenced like that.

You’re acting like families don’t get arrested by both the South Korean and the US government for political reasons *cough cough Guantanamo or the National Security Act cough cough*

Malnutrition and starvation are so rampant that the average NorK is six inches shorter than the average South Korean.

You act as if malnutrition and starvation aren’t rampant in South Korea. Have you ever been around Seoul Station? They’ve “cleaned it up” a lot, meaning the violently drove away homeless people and beggars but poverty and homelessness are still very rampant in South Korea.

Do the citizens deserve any of it? No. They asked for none of this. They’re human. They’re also entirely brainwashed. It is Jonestown on the scale of a country.
If you haven’t seen it, you need to watch the Vice Guide to North Korea. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
You might also be interested in an Ask Me Anything by a recently escaped North Korean.
And here is the testimony of an escapee from NorK who worked at a prison camp. Not for the weak of stomach or will, here’s a sample.

Many prisoners died from hard work, poor treatment, and beatings. The dead bodies were often buried under the fruit trees in the prison orchard. The fruits (apples, pears, peaches, and plums) from the Kaechon orchard have earned a reputation for their large size and sweet taste. They are reserved for senior party and police officials.On one occasion, 150 corpses were rolled up in straw mats and buried under the fruit trees. The families were never informed and the bodies can no longer be identified.

Welcome to North Korea.

Liberalism at it’s finest, you take a post which actively counters the dehumanization of North Koreans, which serves an important function of combating all these accusations of North Koreans being inherently evil or that the west needs to bomb them and you come in and talk about how they’re brainwashed and shit.
Liberalism. At. It’s. Finest.

theStunning Science Images that Border on Art
This photograph of the surface of a human brain (selected as the grand prize winner) captures the intimate view that a neurosurgeon had while operating on an epileptic patient. “The arteries are bright scarlet with oxygenated blood, the veins deep purple and the ‘grey matter’ of the brain a flushed, delicate pink,” said Alice Roberts, an anatomist and one of the judges, in a press release. “It is quite extraordinary.” - Continue reading at Smithsonian.com.
