Anti-Freedom?

My "favorite" and I use that term loosely , part of the Seoul train video was the protest they shot in Warszaw Poland , partially because I'm polish and I understood what wasn't translated into English . Also I understand why things like this matter in my country . We were once refugees too many fleeing through Germany to France , a lot like North Korea through China into Mongolia . Recently my friend asked me why I care about what happens outside of the US , she thought it was stupid that we HAD to learn about this because "It's not like affects us." and people wonder why the world thinks Americans are snobby and ignorant. It affects us all , countries in Europe are more interconnected with world events world history and current world events are a mandatory class . It's something you are tested on before you can graduate people know more , reach out more simply because they know they've been in those situations before and feel the need to help the people who are going through what they've been through.

I felt like I was watching a modern version of WW2 concentration camp refugees.
