"Education in North Korea is useless for life in South Korea," Gwak Jong-moon, principal of a boarding school for North Korean refugees, told Blaine Harden, the author of "Escape from Camp 14." "When you are too hungry, you don't go to learn and teachers don't go to teach. Many of our students have been hiding in China for years with no access to schools. As young children in North Korea, they grew up eating bark off trees and thinking it was normal."
North Korea insist on isolation BECAUSE if the people there knew they were the laughing stock of the world - off allowing themselves to be treated like dogs (or worse) they might rebel.
And their ‘leaders’? They push the mythical stuff to keep their boot squarely on the face of their citizens. It has NOTHING to do with them believing it. Totalitarian tool... period.
They get nothing but propaganda in NK schools, like ours are becoming
It was the same in East Germany, and the East still hasn’t completely caught up 20 years after reunification.
6. Extortion as a way of life
If they could not extort money from the U.S. with threats of aggression, their government would collapse.
Everyone on this site needs to read this article and get a glimpse of hell on earth.
Then you need to resolve never to give up your guns. When the day comes that the govt steps across the line and comes after us - and that day will come - you need to remember that if you give up and lay down that this is the fate that awaits you.
There are some things worse than death.
I’d rather go down fighting along side my family than live in a world like this. I will take as many of the SOB’s as I can with me, and no prisoners will be taken. Make sure that anyone illegally siding with the govt against the citizens goes down brutally, and goes down hard.
When that day comes be ready, lock and load and kill ‘em all.
People imagine the Norkies hate their leaders and are ambivalent about their country —that they’d welcome us as liberators.
COMPLETELY WRONG:
They are socialized from birth that they owe everything to the unselfishness of their wise and indefatigable leaders; the outside world is cold dangerous and bad, NK is warm safe and good.
They have NO competing information at all.
They’d each fight like honey-badgers to the bitter end. The war would make Tarawa seem like it had been defended by bi-curious hair-dressers.
By nature pan-Korea is passionate and tough. Culturally South Korea is Japan 50 years ago, North Korea is Japan 100 years ago —kamikazes ‘cept with a few nukes, maybe.
Expect NONE to throw down their arms.
Imagine the miseries suffered by North Koreans being ushered into America by our own contemporary social pathologies implemented in policies and laws. Have you seen those miseries being added to our lives, little by little, for decades? Squalor is the step just ahead for many more.
