Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

“Woody, part of a group called Cut the Ties to Fossil Fuels and dressed in the grim reaper costume, told the Guardian he had come “dressed as Big Oil”…

“”Big Oil’s tentacles reach across through many industries, and it’s those enablers of the fossil fuel industry that, as a movement, Cut the Ties to Fossil Fuels, target.”

“He said it was important to unite on the left and work together, which is something the right tend to do well “despite having massive differences”.

“”It’s a numbers game in a way. This is really important to send a message. So I’m really excited about being here today and being part of a much bigger thing.”

North Korea is one of the poorest, most corrupt and most oppressed countries in the world. You are delusional.

I'm asking for proof. USA would be poor too, btw, if a bully state slapped sanctions on us and threatened other states to keep them from doing any trade or business with us. Just like Cuba.

We both know that you are an insane Marxist-Leninist who will discard any real sources as "cia propaganda" or "liberal lies" so instead I'm going to demand from you any proof for your insane ramblings that don't come from either North Korean propaganda or Marxist-Leninist sources!

I've had enough of ML bullshit propaganda! YOU need to provide sources for YOUR outlandish claims! We both know you're lying on purpose. You're refusing to see a truth that would only require a simple Wikipedia or Youtube search. Because you probably view all real sources as fictional and all fictional sources as real.

And yet, I'm not the one hurling invectives.

There are plenty of YT sources of people actually shocked dprk is nothing like they've been describe, if you could do a "simple YouTube search."

Anyway, I don't know what you want so here:

An ML propaganda source, an irrelevant youtuber with no viewers, a technically legit article but only about the "special economic zone" AKA the only place in NK with any prosperity, a random twitter user saying that the Black Panthers interacted with and were interested in Juche (that proves absolutely nothing about NK), a broken link and a joke video about haircuts.

Your sources are absolute trash and you know it. The only money NK makes is by selling arms to Russia, and hoping for naive tourists to bring foreign currency. They have relied on food aid from the US every year since the starvation in the early 90's.

And you offered a single link from Wikipedia which relief on unsourced quotes from US propaganda source. So feel smug elsewhere.
