Another quote from hexbear u might find useful

"But that's the strawman that people conjure up about Hexbear. We must all worship at the altar of Russia, China, Cuba and NK and they are literally infallible and can't possibly make a single bad move.

Thinking that we might have nuanced opinions on these countries, and critically analyse information to realise they're not the fucking otherworldly demons that western propaganda paints them as, takes brainpower they don't seem to spare."

Also, just my two cents here, but the "some of whose defectors i've personally conversed with" bit, doesn't rly mean much. Talking to people who are literally a minority of a minority of a minority, who often get called out by other defectors for making stuff up, such as Yeonmi Park, doesn't make you privy to some hidden knowledge. It just means your as gullible as every other person who buys their books and pays for their podcasts and merch.

Meanwhile, we see actually significant numbers of people in Amerikkka (ur spelling was incorrect) pointing out how bad life often is here, and the response from people like you is to go, "Well it could be worse, look at the DPRK!"
It just comes off as dishonest and lazy, and whenever somebody points it out, the response is hand wringing and excuses and baseless accusations that just look, to anyone actually paying attention, like projection.

If it worked the way u people think it does, theyd run out of people to kill within a decade or two. Please stop repeating defector nonsense, Yeonmi Park especially is not a source of factual information, even the other defectors think she's full of shit, and that is saying something.

Pls dont bother responding to me. If u want to have an actual debate with facts and historical evidence, just go on hexbear and make a post about it. They'll be more than happy to dig the hole and craft the coffin, all you have to do is lie in it.

Quoted from hexbear in response to your comment

"No, you racist dog, nobody thinks the DPRK or any other country is perfect (cue Moleman), but if you think Kim Jong Un is feeding teenagers to starving dogs for wearing the wrong haircut you're definitely a racist and that's where like 95% of the west including everyone in that thread is at."

Thanks for the admiration of my account, I'm sure it was as honest and real as everything else in this thread. On that note, u gotta non-western propaganda source for that whole "gunning down the people renouncing citizenship" bit, or are u as full of shit as most people here? Tho, to be fair, even if the US wanted to shoot defectors, it cant rly do that when its so preoccupied with sending military aid to actual nazis and other imperialist fucks around the world. And thats when the US isnt shooting brown people and lying about its past actions on the world stage.

Edit: I will admit tho, I did make this account for this thread and only this thread. I did the same for reddit, when a bunch of people were trying to downplay how terrible american slavery was, made quite a few people very unhappy. I'll likely fuck off back to the abyss after i lose interest here like the creepy little shit-stirring goblin I am, but hopefully I'll still be here to respond to whatever comment u leave for me. If i get signed out tho, thats me done. I didnt bother saving the password.

So why do they keep sending them back?

Is there supposed to be a slash between exclude and prevents? Because its a little annoying to try and understand what ur saying when its written like that.

The number of North Koreans who defected to South Korea tripled last year, as the easing of border closures imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic encouraged students, women and diplomats to make the perilous journey. At 196…
