Joe Rogan Talks REALITY PT1: The TRUTH of LIFE in NORTH KOREA "You DONT Own Your Own LIFE"

it's it's hard to believe for people that don't know what life is like in North Korea the reality of you growing up in North Korea but just talking about how you essentially had no food and you would go looking for bugs to eat yeah yeah this was the reality of your existence as a child that there was no protein yeah yeah what when you now that you live here in America and you can kind of eat whatever you want when you look back on that what does it seem like to you does it seem like reality does it seem like a dream what does your childhood seem like it's sometimes this feels like dream this feels like a dream yeah so I pinched myself a lot in the beginning because they say if it's not dream it hurts right when you pinch yourself so a lot of times I pinch myself because sometimes I'm really horrified if I wake up from this that I'm gonna be covering my living room in North Korea so it's sometimes that line is very blurry to me and because the one common thing that North Koreans all have is actually in our dreams when you sleep it's back in North Korea somehow never able to escape it so every day my mom wakes up like she tells me of a story how she was back in North Korea and I have the exact same thing no matter what how many years have you left afterwards in our dreams we are still in that country so that's the nightmare the nightmares that you're still trapped in North Korea when you lived there you didn't know that there was another way to live no it's uh it's like here right now we cannot imagine our life in some different planet in the universe right we just don't know what their life looks like exactly the same thing I never knew the life in different planet could be like and and where you lived in North Korea there was no internet yeah there's uh very little electricity right and how much education did you get I never even seen the map of the world so as even Asian I did not even know that I was Asian so the regime told me I was a commercial race Kim il-sung race yeah and then the North Korean calendar begins when kimerson was born that's like to Taiwan that our history begins so I don't even know what Jesus Christ is and I don't know anything before Kim so there was everything before Kim though history was re-raised for us and but the thing is that we are hungry we're starving if you eat breakfast you worry about lunch if you make it to dinner you are not sure if you're gonna make it to tomorrow so in that scenario who thinks about history you know nobody thinks about anything other than surviving and that is why precisely Kim Jong-un keeping us starving mode even though the U.N the international organizations begging to give food and formula to North Korean people but Kim Jong is just saying no to this food they ate because he doesn't want us to be fat so he's purposely starving the people to keep them weak so that all they think about is surviving so they don't think about Revolution it's a Hunger Games it's like when I was reading these book Hunger Games I literally like oh my God this person copied North Korea there's a captor you divide into 13 different districts Capital people have everything they need and on other provinces their own purpose they are being starved so only thing you can think of your Survivor if you are full in your stomach right you're gonna start thinking about meaning of life art what's out there in the universe you can do all of the higher thinking when you are full in your stomach but when you're hungry the only thing that matters is your hunger when did North Korea become what it is now when did it shift to this totalitarian regime that's starving its people and puts people in these classifications like for one for one example one of the classifications is if your grandfather or great-grand grandfather committed some sort of a sin you are perpetually punished for that everyone in your generation your next Generation all of them are guilty yeah forever there's is No Redemption if the one person commits a crime in the family Clan three to eight Generations gotta be purged how many generations three to eight three to eight yes mostly commonly three but the people like who challenge the regime or challenge the leader then eight Generations eight Generations yeah and then after the eighth generation are they absolved no they're all gone they're all gone okay by a generation you even kill the in-laws of somebody you know so not even the blood you get purged if your cousin somebody marrying the in-law of somebody so there was one officer who escaped 35 000 people were purged a lot of them eighty percent of them did not even know that they were relate to this person wow yeah cousins of cousins somebody somebody that's how they find they get rid of the root of entire this clan when did this all start when kimerson came into power so he was a big Marxist and leninist and he was a communist so in the before the Korean war in 1948 that's when he began this uh in the name of equality right let's take everything back from the capitalist let's nationalize the land get rid of private property but he made North Korea into very inequal Society dividing people into 50 different classes 50. yeah and the way the classes worked you couldn't marry up say like if you were a higher class and a man wanted to marry you if he was lower class you would then become a lower class as well that's how they prevent the mixing with the class so there's no marrying up you only go down so no matter what happens if you are at a lower class you stay there forever forever no no chance of moving out of that zone and it has no it's not based on Merit it's not based on your performance it's not based on anything other than the way you were born no no yeah people say if you work hard in South Korea you are going to get rewarded and that's when I thought wow that is Justice because in North Korea it doesn't matter what you do what you want to do what are your dreams are it's already determined by what your ancestors did
