      The empire media dominance might let a news story like that slip but not when it involves the DPRK, it conflicts with their current “NK is a authoritarian dictatorship shithole” narrative too much

    Her Wikipedia article says she became popular in south Korea for telling stories about her life in north Korea on social media. Unfortunately, I cannot read/speak korean. Does anyone know how she described it there?

    The man, who has worked as a day labourer in Paju and other cities, told police that he had accumulated several unpaid fines, according to South Korean newspaper The Dong-A Ilbo.

    South Korea receives over 1,000 defectors from the North each year. In contrast, the number of defectors returning to North Korea totalled just 31 from 2012 to 2022, according to the South’s Unification Ministry.

        That was my hot take, I revised my comment after researching the story.

        Socialists like you are the fucking worst by the way, you immediately attack anyone who just says anything to you (they don’t even have to disagree, mere interaction gets this type of response) - automatically alienating most people you interact with.

        You’re the worst part of the ideology, a fucking idiot who thinks they’re helping… And you’ll continue to be a shithead, continue to metastasize the unhelpful nature throughout.

        People like you make rightwing critiques of socialism true; they’re unhelpful, not charitable, alienating anti-social types, unwashed and with barely any social skills, would prefer to shout people down in ideological struggle sessions than do anything else.

        You’re the best comrade a Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Ayn Rand, or Donald Trump could wish for.

        What’s worse; you’re a dime a dozen among “Socialist”.

          Numero uno problem, you’re conflating “socialist” with a whole lot of other “left ideologies” that are closer to right-wing than they are marxist-leninist, the actual leftist side

          Dos, see my edit to address your edit
