Re: Otto Warmbier died

[(Anonymous)]

Making jokes to lighten a horrible situation you're living in is different from making jokes about another country full of suffering people that you have no connection with.

But. I'm not saying jokes are bad. Jokes and humor are necessary so as not to be depressed all the time about horrible shit all over the world.

The issue isn't with the jokes. It's that lots of people see NK as a joke and don't know much more about it. You do. That's great. A lot of people do. That's great too. A lot of people don't, evidently, by the number of people who choose to go touring there, or who are shocked when bad things happen to people who go there. They hear the same reports you do but the reality of it that it's happening to real people just like them, in modern day, in a modern country, doesn't sink in for a wide variety of reasons, like distance and foreign-ness and unfamiliarity with world history. They're never shocked until it happens to "one of their own" and then, suddenly, it's real.

Think about how many people say "starving kids in Ethiopia." How many of them could find Ethiopia on a map or know anything about the country? It's the same level of knowing that it's a thing that happens, but not thinking that it's real or understanding that it's happening or thinking that they'll ever have to deal with it. It's another world. Until you're going on tour in it. People do that, too, and it's usually a rude awakening.
