Pro-tip: If you ever find yourself in an ICE "concentration camp" and you don't wanna be there anymore, just tell them you're not a real refugee, you broke the law by crossing the border, and you want to be sent back home as soon as possible.
You'll find yourself wheels down in your home country's capitol within a few days.
I would wonder if you'd be arrested back home following tho.
That's literally only true for North Korea.
Every other country would just laugh at you as they shove you out the airport and onto your ass.
If someone speaks traditional Korean (fluently), looks Korean, and is baffled by "modern Korean" then they're probably a real refugee. Especially if they have torture scars.
But basically if you're coming from north korea, you are technically a refugee
Unless you came through a safe country
Is it even possible to get here from NK without going through a safe country?
Get on a boat and get lost at sea for several months, miraculously surviving on fish, your own piss, and some rando you got in the boat with who started looking tasty one month in.
Does the rando survive
Living people generally won't consent to having their own flesh taken from them.
But does he survive
Sure. He's now a paraplegic. Will be on welfare for the rest of his life.
Did the north korean eat his legs nonconsensually?
Yes, but he shared and the legless guy was super hungry so he forgave.
Lost and suncrisp'd at sea is a helluva drug.
How'd they stop the bleeding?
It's pretty much the only case where I could legit excuse someone murdering and eating another human. Under any other circumstance, "Hang him, shoot him, electric chair, whatever. He needs to die."
"But he was lost at sea for three months!"
They were lost at sea? Why didn't you say so? That's different!
In fact, aside from some mandatory psychiatric care I can't really think of a punishment that would be necessary.
It is interesting to think about how fear of incurable mad human disease might or might not deter that.
When we eat each other and get those prions, it essentially means we'll eventually get the human version of mad cow disease, right?
There's no human equivalent of mad cow.
All we have is this fucked up prion disease that makes you go to sleep and never wake up. Super lethal, spread by eating infected corpses. Only encountered in this region of South-East Asia in a super primitive tribe, and once they were told "Stop eating corpses or go to jail" the infection stopped spreading.
Prion disease are super rare though, so you only really encounter them in cannibal societies. Even then, it's still rare and you almost never see it. Even among cannibals.
Really? I thought our version of prion disease was basically mad cow disease.
And that any act of cannibalism basically guaranteed it.
Mad cow disease is prion based, isn't it?
If you eat someone who isn't infected with a prion disease, you won't get it yourself.
So in that case, it's safe?
Problem is, prion diseases can and do spread via cannibalism, and they're incurable.
If you have a cannibal society, you're playing with fire.
But in that instance, it's safe?
You can get lucky?
As long as nobody has a prion disease, you're good.
In fact, you're good 99 times out of 100. Problem is, it only takes one infected corpse to take down a fuckload of people (anyone who ate infected flesh gets it), and when they die a cannibal society will end up eating them too.
Man, I am pretty uneducated in some things. But who isn't? x)
Thank you for this valuable lesson, Arthur.
_begins gnawing at your ankle_
Prion diseases are rare, and they're generally not contagious (unless you're a cannibal). That's pretty good, considering how fucked up and incurable prion diseases tend to be.
_mutters slobberingly_
yousa tasty!
