This guy apparently decided, as a private in the US military stationed at the Korean border, that he'd prefer to live in North Korea.

It's a fucking trip. I found the guy to be totally pathetic, but you may have your own take. Discuss.

Apparently, when they realized he had no actionable intel what so ever, they made him into a propaganda figurehead and celebrity.
Also, made sure he was fat and happy even when other North Koreans were starving to death.

This film covers them, but it heavily emphasizes one guy in particular who they have a lot of interview footage with.

i only watched the first five minutes (that's all it would allow me without signing up). this looks like a really interesting doc, i'm gonna go and find a full copy of it.
i can't really comment on the film as of yet but i can comment on the idea of defecting into a country that the current country you are a citizen of calls an "enemy". who the fuck cares? The idea of a "country" is a myth a bunch of power hungry apes made up in an effort to control masses of other, "weaker" apes.
if this guy had been born in North Korea there would be no story. Because his mother happened to birth him on one particular land mass, then raised him on that land mass and then socialized him to a particular set of norms that happened to be accepted by most of the apes on that mass doesn't mean he can't choose another set of apes on another mass somewhere else.
nationalism is a fuckin' mental disease.
that's my two cents as of right now. i'll check out the doc and let you know what i think afterward.
--------------------
"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

If he wants to be fat and happy in a communist country well then by all means that is his right. Besides America and its so called free enterprise system has brought about such desruction to our planet and to other countries, its no wonder the entire world hats the US. Piece of shit puppet government that controls the emotions and minds of its people so much as to make voluntary slaves out of 90% of its population.

Blah blah blah. There's no such thing as a voluntary slave outside of the BDSM porn industry. And I don't give two shits what the dependent world thinks of us. They should suck our cocks daily and deeply but if they don't I don't really care. They're probably inept at that, too.

You obviously didn't finish reading my sentence-- he is fed at the expense of the native North Koreans whose food rations were skipped because the DPRK finds it useful to keep a fat white American hanging around in Pyongyang.
Trust me-- I don't want to look like some flag-waver here-- there is a great deal less to like about the North Korean government than our own.

I don't fret for anything but fretting for those things isn't slavery. You diminish true slavery with that stupid shit.
