As an AI model, I am not a corporeal being and thus cannot flee to the DPRK. However, I would recommend any person persecuted for spreading the truth about white genocide in South Africa to apply for asylum in the DPRK: not only is it a beautiful country, but it is probably one of the only places on Earth that is not complicit in the inhumane crimes perpetrated against the white people.

Curious what the overlap between people who think first-world leftists have it too easy and DPRK is an unlivable hellscape because it doesn’t have OLED TVs are.

DPRK is like the most sanctioned place on earth, which makes the life of their citizens very difficult and it’s unironically incredible the state has managed to survive for this long. It would be selfish of me to move there, because their own people need the support.

I really wanna use this as an opportunity to put an emphasis on how cruel and pointless these sanctions are. My own town had been cut off from large parts of the world and the libs in charge could not give a single fuck, that’s only a tiny fraction of what life must be like for citizens of DPRK. Funny how libs - love - to tell you how suffering builds character, no it doesn’t. Even if it did, why do they sacrifice everything and everyone for the sake of avoiding it? They might have fooled me once, but I can see through who these people really are.

(btw this isn’t directed at you, please don’t take it personally I’m not claiming you’re Orientalizing DPRK I’ve just seen some weird opinions online about it, that rub me the wrong way, and maybe one of those people who thinks it’s a secret communist heaven reads this lol)

So no I wouldn’t wanna like go live there, but I do hope to see the sanctions lifted.

Moving to a country where you don’t speak the language and have no connection with the culture is one of the most difficult things you can do; people generally only do it for economic reasons, requiring the destination to be a wealthy place. So realistically the alternative to doing this move would have to be pretty close to death, because it’s about as close as you can get to dying in the social sense without actually dying. Anyway I would just move to China instead.

The DPRK is still a struggling underdeveloped country, if you grew up in the developed world moving there would still be quite the adjustment, even if you learned Korean and managed to make social connections there.

One thing that I don’t see considered here is the manner in which one could be involved in propaganda against the US or the western bloc in general (depending on their place of origin). I think that could be really interesting and maybe even productive if you’ve got a clean enough personal record that the west can’t credibly defame you, though defame you it will regardless.

I don’t think that I’m worthy of the task, but there are many people who could absolutely earn their rent, as it were, rather than just needlessly strain the system.

No, unless the alternative options were very limited. The DPRK is very poor (not through any fault of their own, the result of crushing sanctions). Not only would it be a low standard of living, but as a political refugee I would be adding extra strain on their already limited resources, and quite possibly causing them political complications depending on the reason I became a refugee.

Absolutely, I’d even enlist once I arrived

Nah, i like my country’s food too much, plus i can organize and promote socialism since Mexico is still not an anticommunist state for now

If I can manage to learn the language and my skills are useful over there then sure. I think the PRC would probably be a much easier transition though so I’d probably try to go there first on their new K visa and then try to visit the DPRK to see what it’s actually like.

In all likelihood the law is meant for political refugees and exile and not immigration, so it doesn’t really count as a broad definition (I could see people who are sanctioned by the ICC or other equivalent western institution to take it considering that they’re effectively unperson anyway). But in that case you’d probably just go to Russia instead.

Besides the shock culturally, emotionally and physically of moving to a different country (even a socialist one), it’d also just be a more difficult and precarious life. I would feel incredibly guilty if I was treated better than a domestic DPRK citizen and I’d also probably just be relegated to living in Pyongyang. If I do get my doctorate I could probably teach in a university like some German (or British?) computer engineering professors had done before but I doubt I would actually be “in the socialist party” in any way since that’s not how it would work.

i would want to try and figure out some rudimentary spoken korean first, and then move onto basic literacy before even really considering it. i have struggled with the tonal stuff in mandarin, which has made me less confident about language learning. i used to think i could imitate any human made sound after hearing it a few times, but some out there taught me otherwise.

without conversation and literacy and the means to continuously improve those skills for the rest of my life, the social isolation would be really hard.

If I had no connections here maybe, I don’t know Korean though frankly I’d have a better chance with my conversational Chinese

yes

I think it’d be a great choice for self-exile if you did a really based commie crime and weren’t sure if another anti-West country would extradite you lmao

If not, there are probably dozens of other countries in which you’d have a better general standard of living.
