Quote from: jstell on October 02, 2025, 10:41 AMI think you are confusing liberal arts colleges with monestaries.

You should read Yeonmi Park's book about her life after defecting from North Korea and going to Columbia university, unless you prefer to just keep knowing "your" truth.

and I think you are confusing monasteries with seminaries. but by all means, go ahead and keep talking about that of which you don't understand.

Reading a little about Ms. Park, it would seem that she has about the same attachment to "truth" as does the orange idiot.  Story changes depending on which side of her face she's talking out of.

Wow you came to that conclusion fast. who told you that, or did you just repeat what some website told you to repeat. You are really not doing a good job of making your case against leftist indoctrination.

Started with Wikipedia for general overview.  Multiple instances of her called out for changing her story.  She's a multi-millionaire from shilling her books, so that shades credibility.  Summarizes kinda like Hillbilly Elegy, equally fabricated/embellished and leveraged for notoriety, by a guy that went on book tour criticizing the orange idiot, now kissing his a$$ so totally spineless.  Many of her fabrications have been called out by other refugees/escapees/defectors including her own mother, who was there with her for many of the circumstances she spins yarns about.  Propped on talk shows with the usual suspects of anti-woke bs - Steve Bannon, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan (altho he could go either way at any given time, just saying shit for ratings not actually taking a stand), and advertises her paid speaking appearances for $10-15k.  So she decided she could win at this American game she was welcomed to, and just became another right-wing grifter for fame and profit.

She's a conservative activist known for embellishing stories. She's even been accused of stealing other defectors stories and telling them as if they are her own.

That is what her critics say. I only know her from her appearances on Rogan, and I never took the time to watch/listen to the episodes.  That doesn't mean that she's lying about Columbia. :shrug: 
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

it doesn't prove she is lying about Columbia, but it does come pretty close to the 'how you can tell is because her lips are moving'.

The language she uses to explain her experience at Columbia tells me that she playing to a very specific crowd.

That's sort of my point.  No wonder some will latch onto her observations because she echoes all the other talking heads they subscribe to.  And of course feeding the rage machine has proven to be highly profitable.

That is 100% what he's saying.
