It's called "altruism," per the usual definition.
Nope. It's called "naiveté" at the very least.
Whose life did he improve by doing this? Was anybody's impression of North Korea changed to the point where it will affect international relations?
Nope. He entered the DPRK as a tourist, was kept on the short tourist leash by his minders, and recorded little more than North Korean government-mandated social media. By doing so, he merely confirmed the reports others have already provided.
"Altruism" would be capturing images and stories from prison camps, off-leash and with a clear humanitarian mission.
This guy was just a fool.
- dreamweapon 12y agoThis guy was just a fool. If you say so, than I guess he is, MrZongle2. But if you think someone could have done better then feel free to infiltrate the Hermit Kingdom yourself, and report back to us. Just sniping away from the safety of HN isn't helping anyone.
