I heard about this from a Brazilian shitposter on Mastodon who also goes by the name Sofia and I had to check to make sure it wasn't the same person.

"World's Worst Airline" smuglord

North Korea Flies World’s Worst Airline to Beijing for First Time Since 2020

(Bloomberg) -- North Korea’s state airline made its first international trip since the start of the Covid pandemic, in a sign of easing border restrictions that could repatriate its stranded nationals abroad and increase trade with its powerful neighbor.

Flight data indicates than an Air Koryo passenger jet flew from Pyongyang to Beijing on Tuesday, which would be the first such commercial flight in more than three years. China’s Foreign Ministry said this week the country had given permission for the flight. Air Koryo is also set to operate flights on Friday and Aug. 28 between Vladivostok and Pyongyang, according to NK News, a specialist service on North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sealed the border at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. The move slammed the brakes on the little legal trade conducted by his heavily sanctioned state and also left stranded North Korea’s diplomats and thousands of workers sent to places such as Russia and China to earn hard currency for Kim’s regime.

In a sign of opening, North Korea last month allowed in high-level delegations from Russia and China for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and this month sent a group of its taekwondo athletes abroad to take part in a championship in Kazakhstan.

Signs of a resumption of trade with China, historically Pyongyang’s biggest partner, led Fitch Solutions to estimate North Korea’s economy returned to growth after two full years of contraction. Still, it added that significant uncertainties still remain.

Air Koryo has previously been ranked among the worst airlines in the world.

Communists who want to actually have a communist system instead of just pretending to.

Thank you so much for showing me that not every liberal I meet here will be ignorant and self-righteous. I can no longer say that has been the totality of my experience with them. I now have hope that my next encounter will be just as positive as this one was.

You're right I haven't completely purged the liberal inside me and I hate myself for it being there still

I forgot how ignorant and self-righteous Reddit liberals were. The ones I've seen are easily the loudest and dumbest people on this network of federated instances. They have their "conviction" and "is wrong" sliders completely maxed out.

You kinda do have to justify it because it's not normal to equate nazi and Soviet symbols. That's not something an average user would anticipate to encounter from an instance. It should definitely at least be explicitly spelled out to users when they sign up or view content from here.

There's something extremely funny about the president of the US looking at what's going on China and saying out loud, "Their economy is a ticking time bomb." This is almost an onion news story.
