If I ever see this flag IRL I’m literally just going to walk up to the person holding it and say “hi I’m CleverOleg on hexbear”

[-] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

do u know if/where i can buy this?

[-] Flinch@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

I imagine you could buy a DPRK flag and let it sit out in the sun for a few months to achieve the same effect

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

With the added benefit of showcasing a north DPRK flag for a few months

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Some fabrics and dyes are UV and weather resistant, so this won't always work

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like you can buy it and this is literally the site I took the pic from: https://flagmaker-print.com/products/trans-dprk-flag-soltok-hidden

There are plenty of other custom flag printing sites too I think.

"Apologia" implies that people who support the DPRK need to apologise, rather than the other way around, personally I think the people going to bat for the country that slaughtered 20% of their population are the ones who should be doing the apologia.

The problems in the DPRK’s economy are there because of sanctions spearheaded by the United States.

DPRK citizens aren’t allowed to travel to a number of countries not because of their government but because of pressure the US places on other countries to restrict them.

DPRK is diplomatically isolated not because it’s a “hermit kingdom” but because the US does everything it can to isolate them. The DPRK very much wants to be part of the international community but it’s the US who stops them.

Yeah I’m a DPRK “apologist” in that I apologize to them that the country I live in is an evil empire that does everything it can to destroy them decades after they fought a war.

Apologia and even the term apologize meant something more like "explain" rather than "ask forgiveness," but the term apologia was of course how certain groups characterized making excuses and lies (like how "hasbara" literally means explaining and is indeed excuses and lies), so it came to just mean that instead.

While this website overwhelmingly redwashes the DPRK, liberals will never approach presenting a criticism where that sort of thing is even relevant, because all they can think to do is complain about Warmbier or demand that a country that the US is one of the most hostile toward should get rid of its nukes as though the DPRK has any chance of using them aggressively and the US wouldn't immediately topple the country like Libya if it made the inconceivably disastrous mistake of disarming.

Plato's The Apology sees Socrates really fail to say sorry but succeed at telling his accusers to post hog.

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Then in "Phaedo," the dialogue in which he is actually executed, he tells his whole family to fuck off from his execution so he can keep doing philosophy with his homies. Socrates would have been an unimaginably powerful poster.

Finally somebody who has read the true heirloom classics of Western civilization

[-] abc@hexbear.net 50 points 3 weeks ago

it's no

Personally I wouldn’t post a on such little website. If you want to do debatelord crap then you need to outline the topics much more clearly and at least set proper start times for it that people adhere to, this whole site reeks of lack of organisation, internet drama and zero professionalism.

but it checks out

[-] booty@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago

I never saw that one, that's incredible. "It's 10 o'clock, the struggle session is officially over. Back to cat posting until 8 o'clock tomorrow when we reveal the topic of the next struggle session."

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 36 points 3 weeks ago

yeah hexbear sucks because you cant organize a debate with someone on it

thats a normal thing to say about a website

[-] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 47 points 3 weeks ago

Me wearing my mandatory sign that states: “cishet (sorry) - but willing to discuss the atrocities committed against the Korean Peninsula”

I asked for it on a t-shirt and they told me to shut up and made me wear two of the signs

[-] context@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

like one in front and one in back like a sandwich board?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

that way they balance better, if I wear them both on the front my lower back aches by the end of the day

[-] semioticbreakdown@hexbear.net 39 points 3 weeks ago

the queers love Juche, it's true

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

i assume that's already a tagline

[-] moss_icon@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I’ve got that one a few times now.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago
[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago

Lol, lmao even

[-] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago
[-] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

Im pretty sure it is.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Also if you just wanna ask a North Korean official some questions, it happens to be one of the best places on the internet for that too.
