    Default North Korean defector says 'even North Korea was not this nuts' / Ivy L

    "I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park said in an interview with Fox News. "I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."

    Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.

    Yeonmi saw red flags immediately upon arriving at the school.

    During orientation, she was scolded by a university staff member for admitting she enjoyed classic literature such as Jane Austen.

    "I said ‘I love those books.’ I thought it was a good thing," recalled Park.

    "Then she said, 'Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset? They were racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing you.’"

    It only got worse from there as Yeonmi realized that every one of her classes at the Ivy League school was infected with what she saw as anti-American propaganda, reminiscent to the sort she had grown up with.

    "’American Bastard' was one word for North Koreans" Park was taught growing up.

    "The math problems would say 'there are four American bastards, you kill two of them, how many American bastards are left to kill?'"

    She was also shocked and confused by issues surrounding gender and language, with every class asking students to announce their preferred pronouns.

    "English is my third language. I learned it as an adult. I sometimes still say 'he' or 'she' by mistake and now they are going to ask me to call them 'they'? How the heck do I incorporate that into my sentences?"

    "It was chaos," said Yeonmi. "It felt like the regression in civilization."

    "Even North Korea is not this nuts,"
    she admitted. "North Korea was pretty crazy, but not this crazy."

    I saw her speak on Hannity. She was impressive.

    This sounds like 'Political Correctness'. I blame Phantasmal for this.

    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
