Thanks again @wschool @CommunistTerror I spoke of how North Korean citizens are victims of cultural genocide; the ruling party destroyed the country’s heritage and the population was left stateless and enslaved, and stripped of the ability to travel even within their own country.

They're educated, tech-savvy... and have been trafficked into forced labor in SE Asia.
