...Jesus fucking Christ

Not to sound like a commie but that photograph really seems incredibly disingenuous

With the make up, shampoo commercial hair and especially the diamond ear rings it seems like someone is trying to "sell" me on capitalism in a way

She exchanged one prison for another

Not judging books by their cover is a dumb meme and it's time you grow out of it

>capitalism is evil

>le meme arrow phone poster

can you not

>Not to sound like a commie
Don't worry bro, you're on a catholic/marxist board. Don't be apologetic.

>muh hyperreal

I'm not even saying capitalism is evil. I'm saying that this kind of exploitation of a person for money is what capitalism encourages. You or I would be suspicious enough to avoid getting screwed by three major corporations at once, but coming out of North Korea there's no guarantee she has any idea what to be wary of or how to negotiate a decent position for herself. I'm certainly no socialist, if that's what you're saying, but lets not pretend that whatever marketing agency pushed this shit took her under their wing out of the kindness of their hearts.

I don't get this thread. Why would a random North Korean be able to write her own book? It should be an interesting read anyway.

Good rule of thumb is never read a book with the author on the cover.

>I am retarded

Judging a book by its cover doesn't mean you don't literally form any opinion based on what's on the front but save rather save it for the contents, whether you get around to it or not

And pretending like nice hair and makeup are these capitalist traps she's found herself imprisoned within when she was literally raped and captured is ridiculous

She's not able to. An American wrote fanfiction about her and got her to sign her name to it. I highly doubt it will be an interesting read.

Once is isn't all ribcage and rotten teeth I would marry desu.

Lucky she isn't the author just the subject

What the fuck are you blind? she looks sad as fuck and scared. She might have been pretied up for the cover but reading about all the shit she went through she deserves to look "her best" even if she feels it should be a ton of make up and hair products.

it was irony! I was ironing

>implying we're getting her genuine experiences
>implying it isn't just ideology masquerading as a trashcan

Having said that, I haven't read the book, and neither has anyone else in this thread.

Never change Veeky Forums.

That WITH is a marketing ploy, the editor/ghostwriter in tiny italics says volumes

>if she feels

ahahahahahaahahahaha

yes she 100% wrote that book in korean and had the other woman translate it and she decide what would go on the cover and how she wanted to look

but I thought you should never judge a book by its cover

That's a dumb meme.

Odds are monumentally greater that the make up and hair products were the decision of a PR team hired by whoever actually owns the rights to her story. She'll live a much better life now, materially, and she'll be much safer. But in the end she's exchanged one slavery for another.

>exchanged one slavery for another
good lord, I can tell you've never truly suffered once in your life.

She could exchange it all for my cock desu if you know what I mean haha

slavery doesn't inherently mean suffering, but it's still slavery

That was before 21st century marketing patters became obvious. This is a book designed to be placed in Walmart or on the big book table at BJs and have uninformed housewives grab the book.

It's not about suffering, it's about agency. Freedom to act. You clearly didn't read my post if you think I implied she would suffer.
>implying you've "truly suffered once" yourself

FINE ARE YOU FAGS HAPPY NOW

thought this was a K-Pop start cashing in Sasha Grey style, I need to go back to reality

yes desu

>implying absolute freedom exists

I'm a rwandan refugee living in Australia, who the fuck are you

Pic related, this strategy is tried and true.

truly despicable
i'm literally crying right now, literally

oh I understand now

this is just some /r9k/ shit whining about feminism again

>how inspiring!
>buy this book you pig

>you're now going to make a good amount of cash because of a book based on your life story that you don't even have to write, and then you can live life as a minor celeb before settling down into something more normal. It's your choice really

I bet they paid her in mcdonalds gift certificates. How would she know differently?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a darling of the /r9k/ establishment

>malala is an oppressed woman
>the daughter of a cia agent is in any way oppressed
your not oppressed if you choose to run into a thresher so you can complain about it

Not at all. For instance, I am not putting up "Reading Lolita in Tehran", or God of Little Things.

But this type of work is a hack marketing scam of finding oppressed women and making a buck, and thus should be judged by its cover.

>I bet
your bets mean nothing, /leftypol/

NO!

what the fuck is /leftypol/

That just didnt make sense in any way. Identifying a scam is in no way a criticism of capitalism. Frankly embarrassing for you.

a strawman you can apply whenever just "/pol/" doesn't work and "reddit" won't do the trick either

There are good books written by women who come out of oppressive regimes.
Protip: They don't look like Martha Stewart's diary, desu

>he doesn't know about the secret club

>There are good books written by women

>Try to save women across the world from religiously justified suffering
>Get put on a Shitty Pleb LibCuck hate list
Truly, the West has parished

Y'know, I used to be annoyed by /pol/'s invasion of this board, but after seeing how warped the alternative is, I think I was mistaken in my judgements. Maybe their here to help.

this just doesn't make any sense
if they were really oppressed how can it be a scam?
its hard to believe that anyone living in NK short of the royal family is not being oppressed

>/leftypol/ isn't real guys
>hehe
>And this imaginary group of people hasn't been invading Veeky Forums for years
>nope

>I'm silly!

Best oppressed womyn story here.

Because it is cynically done by her publisher. This movie has the moral weight of a lifetime movie.

>now a major motion picture

>exchanged one slavery for another

Ha keep believing living with money is "slavery" you'e fucking delusional.

What is it like to have embraced spooks rather than reject them?

capitalism is worse than Juche, face the facts, you dirty pigger.

>if they were really oppressed how can it be a scam?

>be NK peasant
>woefully oppressed

>"say little girl, want to take a ride in my marketing van?"

?

Its trash but fun anti-islamic trash. Also the movie has Sally Fields. It claims all arab women blow their nose in their head scarfs

I cant believe Veeky Forums is this mad at women. No matter what these cunts do you fags will cry over it. The neet/schollar/astute life is a sad and bitter ones.

K. Y. S. sempais.

what is it like to have embraced non arguments as your only form of discourse?
For one, I assume you've been banned from family reunions after calling your cousins 'classcucks'.

>It claims all arab women blow their nose in their head scarfs
disgusting to be perfectly frank

I remember when we used to have routine Flannery O'Conner threads.
It feels so long ago.

if the women won't actually write the book and you are using a ghost writer why make that a woman too?

why not have a man ghost write so that the book is good?

Most of the ire in this thread seems to be directed at the publishing company, not the author.

pls be my gf
:^)

>talking about how publishers find women in horrible situations and put their face on ghostwritten misery porn is a silly scam
>anti-women

see
as an example of non-arguments. Accusing you of seeing spooks due to your shit response and paranoia is not inappropriate.

It didn't use to be like this but /r9k/ found this board. Other large dips in quality occurred with /mu/ and /plebbit/ finding us.

I guess the royalties from ghosts of mississippi are drying up

>you're spooked
>I'm not /leftypol/ btw lol

One thing I will credit the nu-right with is that they're much better at damage control than the nu-left.

meant for

>she wrote a book under Hillary Clinton's name and wasn't credited for it
captcha: jennings clinton

I guess I just don't really see what's wrong with this
I mean what difference would it make if it was a journalist doing the same thing?

it seems like everybody out there who is writing anything non-fictional is always looking for that "big scoop"
always looking for the most exciting events and stories because otherwise nobody is going to read it
like is it that hard to accept thats just the nature of non-fiction writing?
and its easy to think this is a byproduct of greed but really I think its the other way around

I like how your attempt at arguing your point is sillier and less realistic than this post lampooning your point:

humanist detected

Finding a North Korean refugee and exploiting her story does not a journalist make. Here is an excellent non-fiction account of day to day NK life.

Selling your story is tabloid tier, and I guarantee that poor girl isnt aware of that.

so because the book will be low quality she's a slave to capitalism?

It's the fact that she's being used to make a quick buck and probably isn't even aware of it that makes this so frustrating. No doubt she has a noteworthy story, but we'll never hear it now that Maryanne Vollers is the only one allowed to tell it
>slave to capitalism
slave to an unfavorable contract, more likely

underrated

if you really think about it capitalism at it's core truly is nothing other than a unfavorable contract

Y'know, if you guys didn't use a word as melodramatic as slave, more people would believe your arguments.

also, SHE'LL be making a quick buck too.

She looks beautiful, not at all "whorish." You guys can really be harsh.

she looks like a normal woman that you left in the slut mashine for too long

I agree, sister. Don't let this discussion about ethics distract us from the fact that she is absolutely stunning! #slayyyyyyyyyy

all women are whores.
It's amplified when they wear make up because they're dressing in the jizz of big piggy capitalism
take the TRUE red pill and join /leftypol/, or do you want to stay a pigger?
