if you recognize what theyre trying to do (ie harass you, shut you down, make you feel bad) the more laughable and feeble their attempts become. personally, ive grown to derive enjoyment from their attempts. the harder they try, the more entertaining it is to me.
I’m an English teacher from the UK, in my classroom I have a display board of Powerful Writers, Thinkers and Speakers. You were one of the first people I put on the wall. I mention your story to students all the time as a reminder that we can always overcome adversity.
The fact that the North Korean government hates the USA more than Canada and the UK speaks volumes, I think. If I were you, I would worry about my government.
You are stronger than 99% of the people on this planet. I am not sure there is 1% stronger... Keep up the fight little lady. You are an inspiration to sp many...God Bless you and your tenacity...
I’m really glad I decided to watch that episode of Jordan Peterson where you were the guest. You have a lot of supporters all over, and we’re thrilled that you’re one of us, an American.
That was tough to get through. I’ve heard her tell her story many times but something about watching Jordan Peterson alternating between crying and trying to hold back tears as she spoke just made it so much more impactful.
More repeat-run content - this time from a livestream of 13 October 2021. Nothing new being shown here these days. No wonder the views have dropped drastically like lemmings over a cliff. I think we might have reached and passed "peak Yeonmi".
China saw first hand when the U.S. fought Iraq in desert Storm, Iraqi soldiers put down their weapons as soon as they saw the first American solders and surrender because they knew they would be treated better than their own country treats them.
You are my hero. Im from the states and admire you and have followed you for years. Don't ever back down. You have supporters. If there is anything I could do to help I will be there. Just put it out online. I've always had a special place in my heart for North Koreans since a North Korean professor. It was over thirty years ago and I wish I paid more attention and listened to his stories more closely. It piqued my interest but it was still like a far away place that could never happen to me. Im so much more aware that it could happen to anyone. We're in it together against evil no matter what country you are from.
You are a powerful advocate for democracy and freedom and have so much to contribute. I don't share your view of Donald Trump but I think you are great. Keep up the good work!
This channel features a guy who is always bruised up. The guy strikes with something primal. Its a different kind of fear when standing in front of someone like that. Does anyone knw his name or if he has his own channel?
You are an old soul🤗💜 I feel your energy and your loving nature shining through beyond the words you use. Life happens for a reason, because Life is intelligent and wise. 💜🤭
I have difficulty focusing/ comprehending (and more) when reading. I have to listen and even then, sometimes I have to watch something more than one or 2 times. I have a few brain conditions. So, yes, it would be nice if an audio version was out.
I'm sorry that I didn't follow what you were saying about Trump. I believe that even a broken clock is right twice a day, but I'm concerned that your praise for him runs deeper. His anti-democracy position; his hateful and dehumanising rhetoric toward his opponents; his disregard for law, order, due process, and governance; and his demand for unflinching loyalty should be chilling to anyone who has studied authoritarian regimes, let alone lived through one.
trump is in no way anti democratic. stop drinking the lamestream media koolaid. but not their hateful dehumanizing rhetoric towards trump. thats ok huhh? show me any law trump has been proven and convicted of breaking. ill wait. if you want to see authoritarian regimes, look at what the current one is doing and trying to to. they literally used business to censor the political opposition (as i know 1st hand). theres a name for that; fascism.
100%. I think Yeonmi is an amazing person for her brave escape and such, but I unsubscribed and mostly stopped watching her after she started showing support for T rump, Prager U and the like. This video still popped up in my suggested ones, though. I am saddened that someone such as her, who seems so genuinely concerned about our country and risked her life to escape the horror of N K's regime, is falling for T rump, a man who praises dictators and is actively trying to become one. He wrote "love letters" (his words!) to K-J-U, which contained nothing short of pure admiration and flattery--how can she be okay with that??
With all due respect, but that is exactly how many people see Biden, corruption, being above the law, getting brives from forming notably corrupt governments, going after your political opponents with all the weight of the government, character assassination of the public that does not support you, all that is also very anti-democratic, yet half the country chooses to oversee it just to be able to hate the other half. When I grew up, I lived in another country, and we used to look up to the US as the epitome of honesty, freedom, and democracy. I can sadly tell you that the corruption I see, at all levels of the government is bigger, way bigger than the one I saw in my country, corruptio optimi pessima.
im confused , why did she mention trump , and what exactly did she explain that she learned from him . she used his name in her thumbnail and that is the whole reason i viewed this video . i feel like she clickbaited me by simply using the name of trump , i dont like that .
Yeonmi, thank you for continually speaking out, as a Messianic Jew, this is what our Messiah Jesus, says, there shall never be peace until you see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and mighty angels. But we continue to seek peace, to be kind, to reach out to help, to pray to our GOD and yours that His Holy Spirit watch over us. The real culprits are the Islamic terrorist’s driven mad by their Islamic Quran. I pray that somedayNorth Korea may be free and democratic and join the free world.
I love the parallels you draw between North Korea and liberal politicians and academics. You have seen firsthand where those policies go, so it's not hypothetical at all.
Are u overwhelmed by all this.... in ten years youll see our imperfections.... that opinion is interesting. because your opinion is very very rare..... your truth at that time is powerful
hmmm , so maybe the opposite of hate is also indifference . no , i think the opposite of indifference is interest . if someone is indifferent toward u that means they simply have no interest in u one way or another . but the opposite of love really is hate .
Thank you for your intelligence, for someone who didn't think for themselves for the first 13 years of her life, you are far ahead of many people who live in freer countries and don't appreciate it
You have such deep insight, and you have a way of explaining your thoughts that is usually easy to understand.. This is why I personally enjoy your videos and like to watch them... I always thumbs up your channel... You are an inspiration, and a great example of what America has to offer for those who are willing to put in hard work.
There were a fair few wars between democracies, although I would say they were less destructive. More importantly I would say is to have a government whose ability to fund a war is limited by its people.
I was listening to bill cooper recently speaking about how democracy is a aspect of the socialist agenda and how America was intended to become socialist. what we want to exist is a constitutional republic. interesting.
Knowing God's Word is a precious thing, He is our Heavenly Father after all.. Then you have a foundation on which to build your life whereby you’re not befuddled by a crazy mixed up world of politics, religion, education and finances, you’ll do just quite well if you stick with the Word of God. It is a wonderful thing, to unfold the Word of God and the comfort that He brings us through the Holy Spirit (if you learn the Power of the Holy Spirit) upon those that care to come under that umbrella of protection and comfort and having someone at the very Right hand of God representing you or being between you and anyone that might be an enemy, Talk about a comfort! ..and naturally, people are drawn to that comfort and to that peace of mind. Because after all, human beings in a troubled world alway seek peace of mind, then they have rest, then they have happiness! 🙏
I continue to listen to her. I find her information interesting. Everyone is going to have some people saying stuff that’s not nice. Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is, especially with people who post on RUclips.
@@stevenbaksh5545 i already knew that ant i dont blame her. the thing is, countries have to deal with each other in the world. if you payed attention, youd have noticed kim stopped sabre rattling after trump met with him.
It's so true that we need to teach the younger generations to be more resilient. Throughout life you are always going to encounter people everywhere that you don't agree with or share the same view. In the past people accepted that fact of life, but too many of the younger generations have been taught that they need safe spaces away from those people or views who 'trigger' them.
There is something going on and we don't have a say, Canada lost the election to the Lib's so it's the same party that Joe is running we just call them Lib party and they were voted against by 70% of the people but still they have the power, We had a guy like Trump in power and he was supposed to still be in power but he lost even thought he had most of the vote's, We have a lot of the same living conditions here now but not as bad as North Korea, We also have a lot of people selling of everything and moving to the US or Mexico,
I moved to the States in 2007 and never looked back since! Sometimes, I'm discouraged with the USA but today, it's still the best country to live in my mind!
Just keep in mind that Trump, if he could get the kind of power over the US like Kim has over North Korea he would do it. Every other president in my long memory would decline.
You're either a dumb little brainwashed shit or an old boomer junkie pussy still desperate to hoard up everyone's shit to take it to your next shit life.
It's been over a year since I've heard anything from Yeonmi... is she pro-Trump? As I type this, she's talking about Canada becoming "socialist". Pretty disappointing. She definitely suffered tremendously in NK and the trauma runs deep... I can't even imagine. I just hope she finds healing and balance in her life.
@@m.charron same here I don't follow her on my activity much but I read her first book when it came to audible and it was good. I guess never meet your idols right, lol
We don't have a right to be happy. We have the right to life, liberty and the "pursuit of happiness." Happiness is not guaranteed.
You are a Champion. Beyond what you know. You give inspiration to so many.
Thanks

Well done 👏 keep up the good work ❤
I never thought of that but she’s right. Democracy’s don’t really go to war with each other.
Of course democrosies don't fight democracies and you would never have thought they did if that thought weren't implanted into your thinking 😢

Wow I never thought about that, no democracies in modern history have declared war on each other.
That is true. No democracies have ever declared war on each other. I remember reading that somewhere before.
I think the last one was south Africa vs Botswana in the 80s or some war in south America.
China saw first hand when the U.S. fought Iraq in desert Storm, Iraqi soldiers put down their weapons as soon as they saw the first American solders and surrender because they knew they would be treated better than their own country treats them.
Brave and intelligent LADY. Keep up the awesome work. God is with you and you are doing HIS work.
😢 sad but we must be United if we are divided 2:29 we will fall
Also from USA 🇺🇸 and I didn’t mean at 2:29
I love her she is a great American
That is true! You have to live before you can hate. The opposite from Love is Indifference. You are correct!
I think Trump tried his best and I think we to both reture to cave and go into space i,m not trolling
Best Wishes for the Holidays, Yeonmi!💖
Just don’t forget; who convinces the minds of the masses is still someone who cares. It’s the what that counts
Thank you for sharing another great video Yeonmi!
God bless you Yeonmi!

How do you feel about Trump praising the dear leader of North Korea?
exactly. Really would love to hear her take on this.
May Jesus bless you and keep you and grant you his shalom.
