    About Information Smuggling

    Про информационную контрабанду #1
    In the frame there is a very intriguing installation Flash Drive for Freedom by Human Rights Foundation, a photo came across my network a couple of days ago.

    Here is the translation of the text:
    «Donate your USB drives. We will wipe them, load movies and e‑books from the outside world and deliver them to North Korea. With enough USB flash drives we can help free the minds of citizens from Kim Jong‑un's propaganda machine».

    I've always wondered who decides that someone should be liberated from something? 
    Maybe these people will watch these films and say: "Ugh! What filth!".
    Or books — even classics are far from suitable for everyone; I, for one, only managed to get through The Master and Margarita with great effort and only in audio format. And if you take someone like Dan Brown with his "Deception Point", an unprepared person can conjure up such a picture that afterwards their views will only be reinforced 
    Or an even harsher example: "Atlas Shrugged", where people from the "upper class" disregard the lives of ordinary people, act against the party's policies, do everything to destroy the state... What is a person raised in the spirit of communism supposed to think?

    Well, damn, on one hand I get what you're saying, but on the other hand, how many were shot at the North‑South border?

    It seems to me that to risk one's life for a tiny chance to escape the country, a person would have to be pretty badly oppressed there.

    Well, what's so surprising about that? A country where virtually everyone is liable for military service, the state is therefore as closed as it gets. That's why the attitude toward defectors is like toward traitors, and with traitors, as you can imagine, there isn't much discussion. 


    From the perspective of civilian life, it looks harsh, I agree, but it's a feature of their statehood

    I disagree with you, history knows plenty of examples of people risking their lives not because they were being pressured, some for political reasons, some for financial reasons, and some for ideological ones

    That's also, in a sense, oppression
    For example, in my own country many families survive because men leave to work elsewhere; they wouldn't survive inside, since there are few benefits, and the lack of education and shortage of jobs make the situation even worse
    Essentially, if the country were behind an iron curtain, they would starve
    Yeah, everything is relative, but still freedom of movement is also a right that a person should have from the outset

    Even if inside the North it's a real paradise, if you can't leave it – that's already oppression

    Honestly, would you like it if someone sent you a flash drive like this? Personally, I wouldn't!

    Again, you're looking from the perspective of a peaceful life. North Korea is a militarized state.
    In the army there's a saying: to steadfastly endure all the hardships and deprivations of military service.
    Who knows, if they didn't have an enemy at their doorstep whom the big brother protects, maybe they would have lived openly
