Looks like someone has discovered there’s a lot of money to be made by telling the right wing what they want to hear.
Theres even more money to be made in silencing ideas on college campuses across the U.S.
laugh at her, discredit her go ahead, because you know so much more than her. But she is right when she says people here dont realize how hard it is to be free.
You dont realize it because you were born into this country with your freedoms intact, but now your fat and stupid. Once something is taken away by the people you give power over your life to, it's much harder to ever get back.
With all due respect, this is a lot of pseudointellectual gibberish.
I'm not laughing at her, and I don't for one second discount or deride what she went through to escape North Korea.
The article isn't very informative and it doesn't actually say all that much. That kind of ambiguity has allowed posters in this thread to fill in the gaps with their own agenda and biases. I don't know what it means that we "don't realize how hard it is to be free". That isn't a statement which means much to me. You're welcome to explain it further and I won't try to impute anything from it.
What I find really weird is that she brings up two issues. First is that she was pressured to agree with her professors. Whenever that exists, it's a problem. The thing is, anyone who is capable of making a cogent argument should be rewarded for it. I think at least some of the people who say they were punished for "disagreeing" are actually just making excuses because their arguments weren't very good.
But the other issue is that she brings up gender identity. Now, if the idea is that the US should support individual freedom and liberty, what greater expression of individual freedom and liberty is there than to be able to determine which gender you want to identify with?
