A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The dude has a haircut which no one else is allowed to have. The fact that Dear Leader gets to do things you don’t isn’t an embarrassing secret, it’s a pillar of their society!
Why would the West force the DPRK to do this
/s
Why hasn't Joe Biden freed North Korea yet and installed a fully functioning democracy?!? That's IT!! I'm voting for Trump and/or 3rd party! Am I right fellow lemmy users?? Clearly none of you are stupid enough to fall for shit like this! Right.... RIGHT??
More than anything else, I'm surprised divorce as a concept even exists in North Korea.
That's the real news for me too.
Another stain on the world that needs to be bleached out
I don't get it. Why not just remove divorce from the courts?
So they've made it into a religion, huh. Not like that wasn't a case before, but still.
It's been the case since the 1970s.
Huh, didn't know the name of it. Interesting
I heard labor camps are a great place to pick up chicks.
pick up sticks
Wonder what the domestic violence situation is like there. Does that also get you sent to camp?
And if you jack off too much, they surgically remove your cock and balls and place the Dingus on your back right in that spot where can only reach with a back scratcher stick. Baby making would be mostly up to the woman because she would have to bounce on your back pretty without killing you. Oral sex would be pretty convenient actually.
Is it so they can work out their problems
They can work, but they can’t out. That’s their problem.
Two fingers to you too, mate.
I don't understand how anyone can support this regime when they do such horrendous things like in the video.
This sources it's information from Radio Free Asian(RFA) which is a known propaganda arm of the USA... If you don't believe me the would you believe the CIA?

Weird wonder why they need to fund propaganda against North Korea 🤔
Cool. What unbiased source is reporting freely from the DPRK? I would love to see some honest, independent reporting about this topic. Take your time, I'll wait.
It was a cia mouthpiece from 1951 to 1955. Its modern iteration is far removed from that. While we could really get into the weeds about RFA as a source, the fact that you're citing random cia docs from 1953 without either realizing or indicating that the CIA program was defunded 2 years later leads me to believe you aren't interested in legitimate debate about this.
Super loaded comment. Who said anything about a debate?
My source wasn't random in mentioned RFA being funded by name? What?
Why do you think the USA stopped funding RFA? They didn't...

Please just be a nice normal person.
Yeah but the mbfc source they love so much says RFA is credible and unbiased
Strong feeling that this may not be true
Worth it.
/s in case anyone doesn’t notice. I’ve never been married.
