    glasses-off thousands of remote IT workers sent wages to North Korea to help fund weapons program.

    glasses-on the nation we bombed to smithereens and embargoed for 73 years needs to seek extra-legal means of securing a national revenue. One of the forms this took was doing real labor generating surplus value for the American bourgeoisie and then sending their pittance wages back to the DPRK. We will use this as propaganda against them to justify hurting them even more. We are the baddies!

    The west could’ve had thousands of skilled North Koreans working normally for them. But instead they forced the country into siege mode. They have no one to blame for the weapons program but themselves.

    What are the odds this is actually just “some immigrant workers from the DPRK got jobs at call centers, and sent money home to their families which was then taxed by the DPRK or otherwise spent in ways that ended up paying the state in some fashion,” instead of a real conspiracy by state agents to provide call center workers in exchange for a portion of their extremely low wages?

    In North Korea they don’t have computers or the internet, so to train IT workers they sit in a big auditorium and listen to one person read zeros and ones off a big book through a megaphone. yeonmi-park
