" .. Ordinary North Koreans live in a near-total information bubble, without any true frame of reference .. My understanding is that North Koreans are taught to believe they are lucky to be in North Korea, so why would they ever want to leave? They're hostages in their own country, without any real consciousness of it. And the opacity of the country's inner workings--down to the basics of its economy--further serves to reinforce the state's control .. "
 

[citation from Sophie Schmidt's trip report]

 
Now replace "North Korea" by "United States", "North Koreans" by "Americans" and "state's control" by "big corporations control" - and you have a perfect description of what is the case in the U.S.A. .... Yes, Ms. Sophie, this is the case. But you won't notice, because you live outside / on top of the 'bubble' - only your 'frame of reference' needs some re-adjustment, too.

[Report on the report at Journalist "Nate Thayer", an obvious admirer of Ms. Schmidt.]
