I hate north korea as much as the next guy but this don't sound too real to me brotha imma be honest
You shouldn't! Here is a link to a podcast about Korea, I highly recommend listening to it although I warn you the content is pretty heavy.
Furthermore, the DPRK is democratic (whereas the ROK was not for the first 37 years of its 70 year existence - and now it's "democratic" the way the US claims to be)
ROK is also not democratic
"I hate this dictatorship as much as the next person, but I find it extremely hard to believe that it would impose arbitrary rules that marginalise women"
What world do you live in where misogynistic dress codes imposed by a patriarchal society (so essentially all of them) are somehow "unbelievable"?
Like, this isn't even accusing them of the serious crimes they commit, why are you people so quick to defend an oppressive state? (E: especially considering the flag in your profile which should mean you think all states are oppressive, which makes the whole thing even more bizarre)
Why are you so quick to believe RFA propaganda?
Seriously? Doubting a ridiculous article about fashion with absolutely no sources is "defense of an oppressive state"? Is critical thinking now considered wrongthink here?
I think this is fake because it's stupid af
Because tankies can’t accept that these regimes aren’t actually good for the people living under them.
