US defector talks of US slavery pt 4

[MegaAstrodude]

@7:33,

How could you not see this coming if you were going to court-marshal him? Defecting was Dresnok's best option as far as his own standard of living is concerned.

[mosquito103]

How many defections are happening now. I guess they like Daewoo, Hyndai, Kia, food, ability to travel abroad and street lights. There is no question who won the cold war. These young GI's had serious problems in their personal lives and with authority. I see this as a story of man that never faced down his demons and made a spur of the moment decision which cost him more than a court martial would have ever done. Politics is just window dressing or a back drop to the story.

[colocolopity]

@mosquito103 in wat way did it cost him, he seems very happy

[mosquito103]

@colocolopity People are not happy in repressive regimes right or left. If North Korea is such a great place open up the borders let people travel and reunite with their families in the South and hold talks for reunification. They won't because it will be the end of the North Korea. As for his personal story I stand by my statement he ran from his problems. In any case how can anyone support a regime that kidnaps people as policy?

[colocolopity]

@mosquito103 how do you know they're not happy? south koreans can go to the north, and must stay, they'd be accepted, the south koreans have a terrible financial system, the north is the same, they're the two sides of the same coin. i think he did the best for himself that he thought at the time, i certainly don't hear him complaining.

[mosquito103]

@colocolopity Honestly, do you think anyone in that society on camera could say that they are unhappy with their situation? South Koreans should be allowed to visit and leave as they please. It's the (must stay) part of the equation that would create unhappiness. On a purely human level w/o the politics my impression is that he regrets this decision but has resigned himself to his fate. He's consciously or unconsciously decided to drink himself to death. I'll allow you the last word. God Bless.

Dresnok stood for freedom of expression !!! What are Yanks complaining about ??? Oh by the ways every fricken country has Propaganda !!! Yanks are simplistic childish immature people !!!

North Korea is a centralized system - completely financially centrally planned, and so it over micro-manages everything.

This is where the West is very slowly heading as our financial institutions and laws and schools become ever more and more centralized. - It only benefits the few who control the system and who are behind the people who control the system, who are out of the public view.

The majority of the people suffer in all centralized systems.

[colopity]

We are all living alongside this centralised system, each corporate nation has a central bank, where I live we even have such things as a Central train station, Central library and of course Central govt.

You are very correct in pointing that out, only it's up to us to stop this micro-managing

[tehatemachine]

@colopity hes not talking about a central bank though. He's talking about centralized government. And Central banks do lead to problems. So that is an additional problem.

[colocolopity]

@tehatemachine central govt belong to central banks, like central train stations, central parks, central libraries, it's a central banking system, look at the UN, it's a securities council, look up the term 'securities' in the financial sense. check out SDR's too, on imf's own website.

[tehatemachine]

@colocolopity It's actually the other way around. And the central banks are not entirely government operated. It is a monopoly within it's self and does need to be taken care of. if we get of it and downsize the hell out of government. Cut spending on unnecessary programs. Then the whole damn country would be flourishing. The free market is what made Brittan and the United States superpowers. The only way we will have freedom and peace is through trade.

[colocolopity]

@tehatemachine No it isn't the other way round, the Banks are the countries, that's how they operate. The govt's do the donkey work for the Banks, wake up man, they stealing everything, by stopping you doing International Trade. They're not countries, they're about as much a country as my left foot.

[colocolopity]

@tehatemachine the central banks are the govt, they tell the govt how things will be run, govt's are just private corporations, period. Of course things pick up through free trade, read what i'd written before again, they're stealing your equity

@kuriokazuki

What an utter load of shit. decentralisation leads to MASSIVE corruption as much as centralisation can, because it's so much easier to brush your crimes under the carpet and lose them in the lack of oversight. Look at healthcare for example. Here in the UK we are ranked massively higher than the US for it BECAUSE we have a single centralised authority overseeing it, rather than the IDIOCY of handing over your life to a million different groups working for their own self interest.

[Donavan68]

@sunyavadin We are working on centralized health care, it's going to get their by about 2015-2020.

[tehatemachine]

@sunyavadin "decentralisation leads to MASSIVE corruption as much as centralization can," The difference between a free market economy, is that the natural physics set in motion with limited government. Companies cannot ride on government when it is limited, Social healthcare is a monopoly which constrains medical progress and varieties of treatment. People should be FREE to choose what type of healthcare they want.

Rogue chess pieces.  Or were they?

@nameofthepen there's a thought =]
