Gonna go through one of @YeonmiParkNK's latest media appearances to pick out all of her sickening lies.
Starts this one out by adding to her previous ludicrous claim that the word "love" does not exist in the DPRK, by now adding that the word "stress" also does not exist.

Claims that only one channel exists in the DPRK (false) that airs 24 hours a day (false), and that no magazines exist in the DPRK (false).
Claims that no world maps exist in the DPRK and that DPRK education hides the fact that other planets exist (because uhh.... evil anti-space communism i guess), but interestingly then goes on to add that they grew up not even having a concept or knowledge of what race is.
Claims that DPRK history was all taken directly from the Holy Bible and that DPRK people (who according to the west are all strict atheists...) believe Kim Il Sung was "chosen by the universe" itself and that a Holy Paradise awaits them in the afterlife.
Claims that doctors are paid an annual salary of $1
Park has literally talked about how her mother would buy designer handbags during the famine because her dad was a corrupt worm smuggling state assets to sell, but yeah now she says she grew up and survived eating grasshoppers. Ohh and claims DPRK people only bathe once a season.
Claims eating bread is "unimaginable" in the DPRK
Claims that no movies, books, or songs about love exist in the DPRK. This despite there being many movies with romantic elements, countless traditional songs about love and romance being sung, and books full of traditional love stories being promoted by the state.
Claims the DPRK economy is entirely composed of: Crystal meth, missiles, slaves. Then claims the Mansudae Art Studio (the most prestigious art studio in the DPRK) is actually a slave camp, then says monuments celebrating African independence are "statues for African dictators".
Claims that western people are painfully ignorant to the existential threat the DPRK poses to the entire world through... hacking Seth Rogen films
Claims that reading, philosophy, art, and hobbies do not exist in the DPRK because Kim Jong Un purposely starves the entire country to keep them focused only on food. Goes on to claim that the only thoughts that enter a Korean's mind in the north are regarding their next meal.
Claims that introducing yourself to someone new does not exist in the DPRK. Also claims that the state forced her favorite color to be red, contradicting other defectors recently claiming that the DPRK regards the color of red to be "the color of capitalism" and is very taboo.
Probably much like the wealthy right-wing westerners financing her activities, Park Yeon Mi's political awakening came during her reading of 'Animal Farm' and '1984'.
Claims that there is a very popular saying the DPRK (that somehow we've never once heard...) that they are not Asian but are "Kim Il Sung race"... despite literally just minutes ago claiming she had no concept of what race even fucking was because it was never in state education.
Claims that communism has "killed" more people than any other cause of death in all of human history. Then goes on to talk about how she adored Atlas Shrugged but didn't have the brain power to grasp the Communist Manifesto after reading it 5 times.
Now talking about all of us young angry commies, says that young people are embracing socialism and more progressive ideas because we "don't pay taxes" and "life is so easy" for us.
Says we have to preserve capitalism because... youtube and twitter... then claims video calls dont exist in the DPRK (they do and are increasingly widespread lmao but mkay) and then pulls out the infamous "move to north korea then commie!" line.
This part in particular fucking sickens me. When asked how they should go about improving human rights in the DPRK, Park immediately says cut off all their oil to cripple the country. She then dances around the issue saying that the oil just fuels missiles and Kim Jong Un's car.
