Hear that conservatives?
You can visit the country you're trying to make our country look like.
You can get a good long look at what your dipshittery leads to. But only if you have the balls to leave the resort.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Perfect for East Russian newly made widows to recover from the shock of finding unexpected money on their bank account.
Don't mind me wrong, but looking at what Dubai is doing, I am not surprised Kim thinks people can forget about NK reality for a nice beach.
Hah! Good fucking point! Only thing I guess is that Dubai has a wonnnderful propaganda team winning over the hearts and minds of Western audiences, while NK has synchronized communist dancing events.

What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?
Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn't be in a worse place.
I agree. Probably the same idiots that built south Florida
Real question but when does a two lane street become a highway?
Highways don't have crosswalks, and drivers can expect to have very few stoplights (compared to freeways, which should have exactly 0 stoplights or pedestrians whatsoever).
Streets can have frequent crosswalks and stoplights.
Sooo having a street between hotels and a beach would be no biggie, since guests could safely cross it on foot, at a crosswalk.
But with a highway there, you cannot safely cross on foot. No crosswalks. Or if there's something that looks like a crosswalk, it sure wouldn't feel safe to cross it.
apparently a little american figure called henry flagler ... ever heard of US1?
This guy Floridas!

Ah yes, the new Mar-a-Lago. Fantastic. I'm sure Trump will be dying to golf there.
I’ll go. The North Korean people are perfectly decent folks.
Rank 165 of 167 democracy...
Rank 179 of 180 press freedom...
Let's book the tickets, honey. We are traveling to jail.
That just makes me wonder who they are beating in these rankings
180 / 180 Press freedom - Eritrea 🇪🇷
166 / 167 Democracy index - Myanmar 🇲🇲
167 / 167 Democracy index - Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Damn sad, those poor people
My heart hurts thinking of the girls and women in Afghanistan.
Fucking sauvages
Myanmar and Afghanistan, apparently
And for press, Eritrea

Imagine how silent and unpolluted NK is, ngl it would be a great vacation if not for the moral concerns
it's full of pollution from china. it's a seasonal pattern whereby dry sandy desert air from the gobi mixes with industrial emissions feom beijing and blows over to the korean peninsula, coating everything with a yellow-orange dust every spring
Damn, you're right. I wouldn't want to vacation anywhere that has a long history of atrocious civil rights abuses.
Books tickets to Florida
Anyone traveling to Italy?! People shouldn’t forget that they were on the WRONG side of the war until Mussolini was gone! TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!
Easy to forget that Italy was with the Allies group in WW1. But also that WW1 ended with private sector creditors knocking at the door of winners and losers alike. The old aristocracy had leveraged itself to the hilt in order to finance a pointless, needless, catastrophic war between regional powers. And now the new aristocracy of capital was trying to strip the copper out of the walls of the proles in order to pay back what was owed.
This lead to a groundswell of socialist organization and radicalism in the wake of the Great War. One which threatened aristocrats old and new. The only response Italians (and Germans... and Brits and Americans to boot) could conceive of was a fascist heel-stomp on the necks of the rising organizations of labor.
TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!
Hardly traitors. Fascism was pioneered to preserve the aristocracy and the capitalists alike, by turning worker against worker along ethnic and national lines.
It was the socialists who were the traitors. They sought to end the old world and bring about a new one. And they nearly did it.
Just don't say anything against Dear Leader or you'll come back catatonic then die like that other American tourist.
I seem to remember he took a poster off the wall to keep as a souvenir, so they killed him. Don't touch the posters, people.
I watched Ed Stafford (first man to walk the length of the amazon) survive on a uninhabited Fijian island for about a month. He picked up a toothbrush, multiple bottles, a metal can, rope/netting and a rugby ball. That was just the useful stuff.
There shit on that beach in NK I'm certain.
Just imagine all the opportunities for bankruptcy! The orange turd is getting turned on!
Wow, a vacation location I would like to visit even less than the US.

Only a moron would want to visit North Korea where Kim Jung Un will have you killed for saying anything negative about him or the country.

It will be a Trump hotel and MAGA nuts will go stay there.
Oh can we please make this happen?
Otto Warmbier
Hope there aren't any flags or posters that can murder a poor tourist.
Anyone who goes there of their own free will should know that they could end up like Otto Warmbier at any time. No tears will be shed for them.
They are likely betting on Chinese/Russian tourists. No way Kim lays a finger on a PRC citizen.

Some observers say this is an easy way for Pyongyang to earn money. While foreign tourists are allowed in, tour groups largely tend to come from China and Russia, countries with whom Pyongyang has long maintained friendly relations.
