Now this meme I can get behind
She genuinely looks terrifying (whoever she is).
she’s a north korean defector influencer/griter. She makes her money by telling absurd stories about North Korea to gullible westerners
What were some of the absurd stories she told and how do you know they’re not real?
I’m asking this because it’s my understanding that it’s hard getting information from there for either side.
Things like North Korean parents feeding their children mud, or Kim Jong-un personally executing an orchestra conductor in front of a crowd.
North Korea is not a complete black box. Americans are banned from the country, but most Europeans can visit on guided tours.
Millions of North Koreans work abroad in China. If anyone actually wanted to know what life was like in North Korea, you could just ask them. But no-one with the money to hire a translator and head to Beijing is really interested in the very boring truth; that North Korea is a poor, imperfect country where the vast majority of people live normal lives.
The documentary “Loyal Citizens of Pyeongyang in Seoul” has a few interviews with North Korean citizens who went to the South for better economic opportunities before having their passports seized and prevented from going home to the North.
It’s changed in recent years - the BBC did an excellent documentary about what life has been like in DPRK recently by interviewing people inside, and it’s become a lot worse now. People starving to death, no more trade with China, the lot.
America bans Americans from visiting the country, the DPRK does not.
Land of the free and all
At least about the guided tours, everyone I saw talking about their experience resumed to “you do as you’re told and only go were they let you/guide you”. There is no freedom to go around and see actual people in their daily lives.
Yeah that shit is highly staged and controlled. You see what they want you to see.
And these millions of workers going to China, you think they are going to talk any shit about their government? Lol
Ah yes, lies on how North Korea is a stalinist hellhole and not a workers paradise, right?
No everyone knows that lol. She just makes really extravagant lies like children have to eat mud to survive or some shit to make money
you know that mud cookies are a real documented thing that people eat in places like haiti right? i dont know of this woman but saying “people eat mud” in a place known for having famines is extremely plausible
Reality is just a comedy
Can someone explain me where this mend comes from? (Comments already said she is a NK deflector, but what she said originally? Also is that the Joe Rogan podcast?)
Thank you. Very funny indeed. Reminds me of stories Venezuelan immigrants tell about Venezuela when they get to another country.
oh wow, I forgot a long time ago that sub exited in reddit, now it exist here too haha
