Seoul police are investigating how a North Korean defector who fled south ended up back in the North. Appearing tearful in a North Korean television interview, Lim Ji-hyeon told viewers she had escaped a capitalist hell.
Hmm, maybe it’s language barrier, that is how I initially read it: two comments are designed to seem coerced, and are obviously either untrue (cause she is minor tv thingy) or mistranslated or whatever context. Than some posts about definitions of tv celebrity, blah blah, and then you are calling each other names :sadness:
That's an interpretation I entertained initially until I read the deeper comments where they start speculating about starvation and being a regular on certain TV shows. It's also why I didn't reply top-level - the next chain down is where things start going off the rails. No language barrier, your reading of that first bit is valid.
Unfortunately they seem to prefer insults and belligerence as a smokescreen, something I'm happy to return because this isn't a debate it's a leftist forum where a modicum of anti-imperialism is the very least we can ask from obviously Anglo comrades.
