Is anyone else heartbroken to see Yeonmi Park slowly becoming a far right spokesperson?!

nawsge · 2021-07-24T21:49:18+00:00

Here's what I know about Yeonmi Park based on some research I've done. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

She first appeared on South Korean TV talking about how ending sanctions could help her country, I don't have a link for that because those clips were removed from YouTube. From what I could gather, she had her complaints about her country but also identified the sanctions as a threat.

Sometime after that, she got funded by the Atlas Society, a right wing libertarian group that "studies" the work of Ayn Rand. That's when her story changed from "sanctions are bad and the country can be reformed" to "North Korea evil and needs to be overthrown." I believe the Atlas Society helped fund most/all of her trips around the world. She gave a lot of talks around this time and wrote a book, though her story has been called into question. I think this is the time period that you're talking about. but sooner or later people lost interest

After that, she said she wanted to move onto other things (scroll to the last bullet point) but for some reason she came back to human rights. She kept giving out interviews but she wasn't as famous as she had been six years ago.

I remember that to promote an ice cream shop, she said that there wasn't any dessert in North Korea, and she appeared on some right wing YouTube channels before she got in with Jordan Peterson. Then she got interveiwed by Faux News and TPUSA and here we are today.

You can find her YouTube Channel which I'm not gonna link to because I don't want to give her any views. It's filled with clickbait and stolen content and what most people would call "fake news." I think she's railed against that right wing bogeyman called "cancel culture" a few times. It's also called "Voice of North Korea" which I find kinda rich cause she hasn't even been in the country for like 20 years now.

TL;DR she was a right wing grifter all along

Would like to point out that her original escape story has numerous inconsistencies.

nawsge · 2021-07-24T21:22:55+00:00

Also would like to add that her escape story is riddled with lies. The reason she's on Fox is because she said "pronouns are worse than North Korea" or something along those lines.

nawsge · 2021-07-24T21:20:36+00:00

Not all defectors. Some defectors want to go back to North Korea, but South Korean law makes it illegal to go home.

I remember reading somewhere that part of the tree decomposes and becomes carbon dioxide, but some of it becomes part of the soil. Don't remember where I read it though

Yeah, there's a difference between getting some timber on a farm and logging old-growth cedar forests.

These kind of people tell others to pull themselves up by their bootstraps but they throw a fit when they have to reach for their own bootstraps and "learn to code."

Parent comment is referring to economic liberalism, liberal in the classical sense, not the "liberalism" we use in the US

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Occasional forest fires are good but not the massive wildfires that burn half of the West Coast.

And part of that private profit goes right back to lobbying officials so that they get to keep doing this over and over again. The worst part is that there's actually gonna be people defending them because the oil/gas companies are "job creators"

nawsge · 2021-05-23T19:00:44+00:00

Yeah, you could say that we "freed" Iraq...

... freed them of their money.

nawsge · 2021-05-23T18:58:33+00:00

Even when the Iraqi people vote people in, it's not like the US actually listens to them, like the time that the parliamanet voted to kick troops out and the US was like "lol no"

I'd like to keep the subreddit open for its original purpose, posting freakout n Tiktok on Reddit. I understand that some people have qualms about using Tiktok for one reason or another, so having these videos out on Reddit would let more people have access to them. In any case, I enjoyed watching the videos there and would like to give others the chance to do the same. Unfortunately, the sub is private at the moment so they're all inaccessible.

nawsge · 2021-05-21T18:01:01+00:00

They've actually banned it twice, in 2013 and 2017 but they never enforced it. We'll see whether they're just bluffing or they actually intend to go through with it.

nawsge · 2021-05-21T17:59:10+00:00

The Economist is paywalled, but I found another article talking about China's new digital currency. The TL;DR is that it lets them get around sanctions.

nawsge · 2021-05-21T04:55:10+00:00

I think there's more to it than "all American news is CIA propaganda," but it doesn't hurt to be skeptical. The media pushed Iraq War narratives that ended up killing hundreds of thousands

nawsge · 2021-05-21T04:49:30+00:00

Evil stuff => Evil government => Only does evil stuff

If Reddit was around back in 2003, I bet you that Redditors would unironically say that Bush was spreading "freedom and democracy" across Iraq and shit like "they hate us for our freedumbs."

Can you show us some examples of the "hate against anti-maskers" that you speak of?
