Please stop using Imgur because UK folks can’t see images from it
VPNs don’t help, I’ve tried. They must have a block list.
Sorry, lemdro.id image upload is having issues so I just defaulted to using imgur
I have now updated the post to use a different image host
Many thanks 🙂↕️
What do you recommend? Every other image host I’ve used was either clunky as hell or disappears. I hate Imgur.
On Lemmy you can just upload directly to it, at least that’s what I do. Don’t know for the rest of the internet.
Or. Complain to your government. This is one time i’m on the imgur side of it.
They can’t help that your government is stupid. Why should they then be banned from being used?
Please, continue using imgur because UK folks can’t see images from it
/j
Brazilians too.
That’s odd because some people like dictatorships
No they don’t. They like an authoritarian strong man on the throne telling them how to live their lives
They don’t like it when you point out they’re describing a dictatorship
Meanwhile if you criticize Genocidesmany and it’s assistance in Pissrael’s genocide:
NK is a theocracy, right?
It’s kind of it’s own category. I mean, they’re basically forced to worship the supreme leader, but I don’t think that’s a defining aspect
It’s more a totalitarian state. Everything from what job you’ll do for the rest of your life to how you cheer is given to you by the government.
It has the trappings of religion, but do people really believe that? The way they talk about it is like “the state tells us Kim was born in a flash of light on the top of a mountain”, they don’t engage with the talking points, they repeat them exactly
Fun fact, the supreme leader has so far always been dead, the title only having been given to Sung and Jong upon their deaths, yet the title is officially the leader of the party, state, and army.
Making it the world’s only Necrocracy (rule by the dead)
I did not know that, that is a fun fact
“Nah bro, it’s a Democracy. It’s called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea bro.” Yeah, and Nazi stood for National Socialists.
DPRK is so democratic, they don’t even need to hold elections, they already know that the people want someone from the Kim family to be their glorious leader
Shitposting aside, we did literally amend our constitution because FDR won too many times. I’m sure that had nothing at all to do with New Deal policies and they were just real concerned about accidentally having a king again.
A Necrocracy if we want to be pedantic. As the highest title in government 최고령도자 (literally translating as “supreme leader” or “the best/most leader”, but can be taken to mean something like “the leader who is in the highest position”), officially it is in charge of the party, state, and millitary, and so far been only given to former leaders upon their deaths. Meaning that at any given time, the highest leadership position is held by someone who is dead, making it a Necrocracy, rule by the dead.
A theocracy would imply some form of church like structure deciding policy, laws, and running the state, maybe you could argue the party is a sort of church, but the party apparatus is not appointing the leader, nor does it set policy. The party, state, and army in North Korea serve at the behest of the hereditary leaders, so practically it’s more of a monarchy.
Probably because it’s blocked here by law haha.
What happens on .world when you call Ukraine a dictatorship?
As the other commenter responded, you’ll be told you’re wrong. Because you are. Presumably you’re referring to the fact that Ukraine hasn’t had an election, despite Zelenskyy’s term being over?
War. It’s war. The answer is because they’re at war. Martial law has been declared, a state of emergency, and their constitution suspends elections during such a time. If they want to keep drafting soldiers in order to fight against the war of conquest declared on them by Russia, then this cannot change.
Putin could end Zelenskyy’s term right now if he simply chose to end the war. Anyone who believes the situation is so simple as “Ukraine is a dictatorship” is not only wrong, but dangerously wrong, and likely dangerously stupid to boot.
you get called out for being wrong, although your instance already gives that away
Oh wow. Now that is a red flag of a domain name if I ever saw one.
I think it has more red flags than the front lawn of the Canadian parliament.
I mean I like libertarians. I just don’t consider libertarian capitalists to be libertarian. Libertarian Marxism is where it’s at
Libertarianism:the ideology where you’re fine with companies poisoning the water. Or, in marxist case, worker collectives doing so
Wow you’re so oppressed you poor snowflake
I mean my country was literally turned into an unescapable prison where people are kidnapped off the streets, beaten, and sent into the meat grinder (and often tortured as well there), but don’t worry, I already learnt from .world fascists that it is ok and I should not complain about it.
Hopefully Russia will fully liberate it one day 🤞
Are the Ukrainian dictators in the room with us right now?
No, he is travelling the world and giving talks about saving democracy all while his regime buys yet more drones and thermal imagers to make sure the border is safe. Western border of course, through which people try to escape his meatgrinder.
Woosh
