A money-back-guarantee refund would be welcome here if ever.
Wellllll...best I can do is get you a half extra serving of unrecognisable glop at meals in the gulag.
I don't trust a single word a corporate outlet says about another country. These same oulets told you about WMDs in Iraq and a social credit scores for all it citizens in China.
Eat my ass you're going to have to do better that
You're proving my point. You cited 4 corperate news agencies. Did you think you were clever?
That depends. How would you define a "corporate news agency"?
Here an example of an appropriate news source
Yeah, but how would you actually define the term? You bring up issue with what you dub "corporate news agencies", and then when I look up the news you point to here, I don't know how what I get would feel any different, except for the fact it's mainly presented as satirical.
no way. is water still wet?
Yup, it says so on the water bottle's warning label.
Where in the article is the mention to bourgeois??
“Even if they die there it does not matter, because North Korea sent them out without officially recognizing them,” Lee said. “They were sent there not to bring honor to the country, but to give up their lives and bring back lots of money.”
And where is the bourgeoisie in that?
You do know what the bourgeoisie archetype/stereotype is, right? A person with a strong enough thirst for wealth that they will disregard all compassions and sensibilities to achieve it?
Saying the officials in the North Korean government using dying soldiers as instruments of material gain doesn't ring bourgeoisie bells is like saying L Ron Hubbard building the world's most elaborate artificial tithing system doesn't ring bourgeoisie bells.
