A North Korean defector and human rights activist detailed her Columbia University experience in a video, calling America’s future “as bleak as North Korea,” Fox News reported. Yeonmi Park defected from North Korea in 2007 at the age of 13. In 2016 she transferred to Columbia University from a South Korean university, where she encountered “anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness,” Fox News reported. During orientation, Park was rebuked when she said she liked literature, such as the works of Jane Austen. A Columbia staff member told her: “‘Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset? They were racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing you,” Park said in an interview with Fox News.

Makes me wonder if the people that control North Korea aren't the same people inflicting this Marxism on the western world. When you perfect stealing elections you can put anyone you want in positions of power and they people are none the wiser. Her fellow classmates, who were paying “almost half a million dollars” to go to Columbia, talked about how they were oppressed and experiencing injustice, Park said, adding that they didn’t know how hard it is to be free. She said Americans have lost the ability to think critically, pointing to its higher institutions where individuals “choose to be brainwashed” and resent Western democracy. “Where are we going from here?” she said. “There’s no rule of law, no morality, nothing is good or bad anymore, it’s complete chaos.”
