When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

…Well not everybody.

You see, north korea is like any poor country/dictatorship, not everybody is equal. Concretely you have 3 social status

….Oh, and also infrastructure work 99% of the time ! But when they don’t and you call them the put you on waiting during 2H.

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

Now, imagine your life at the upper subdivison, the top of the social ladders. The one that produce regime’s journalist, diplomat, authority and generals.

Ah…north korea. The misery, the starvation, the oppressive regime ready to kill you for a fart. A living hell everybody would like to leave.

You are living in the capital. Starvation? Well you have this shop reserved to the elite that is always well filled, but it’s true that last week they have no nutella. Infrastructure problem? Nah, your district has a bunch of technician working 24/24 for you. Dictatorship? Well it’s true there are stuff you shouldn’t do, but if you do daddy will just go plead with the ruler. It’s not like the kim would send an entire family of high qualification worker in a camps.

What are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?

These subdivision in north korea are all. They are kind of nobless status. You inherit them for the most part, some manage to climb up, some manage to fuck up. In both case it impact your whole family.

…Oh, and law is more permissive now, but you have to actually follow it sooo…

Now not everybody under these social status are the same. There are a lot of subdivision, an hundred. Being a farmer in the countryside and being a diplomate at the capital isn’t the same.

Now imagine you decide to use the olympic to flee and go in south korea. Now you’re free !

The “hostile population”. Typically the old’s world elite, the one considered dangerous, the merchants, the workcamps population.

…Or not. Your diploma isn’t recognized. And you don’t have relationship. So i hope you like being a construction worker.

How do you recognize when your mental health might need attention?

The neutral.

The “friend of revolution”. Which count the farmers, the descendant of korean war fighters, the elite,….

Do that seem interesting to you?

Why are Christians quick to say that there are a lot the gay Christians that exist NOW and use that to pretend that Christianity is just loving to gays when the last 40 years of my life they been horrible?

The organization mean you’re not only on the top. EVERYONE in your family is on the top, and your friend too. If you born into one of these family, then your brother will become an high civil servant, your sis will become a journalist on the first channel, and your childhood friend will become in charge of foreign trade with australia.

Well you got it. North korean that go to see olympic aren’t your average peasant. They are well placed people. Why would they flee north korea and lose everything?
