Yeonmi Park calls out the Wokesters

If I mention to certain parties that I’m watching something by a North Korean refugee, I get the eye roll. Like, you can’t really trust what these malcontents say. They’re fake. They blame socialism, these refugees, but really that’s not socialism what they do up there. Ignore. 

I’d be one of the few occasional readers of this blog who has actually been to North Korea, several times in the 1980s and 1990s. We knew the stories then. We know them now. They haven’t changed much and they are consistent with each other. The brutal oppression, the lack of any rights, the human trafficking, the multi-generational punishments. Some of which we now do in the west.

Yeonmi Park speaks well and movingly. Most damning of the cowardice of current western culture are her  reflections of study at the Ivy League Columbia University, the deep desire of the woke not to know, not to recognise, not to understand that there are real oppressions out there, rather more serious than using the wrong pronouns.
