Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

"Trafficking in Persons Report" of United States under Fire

Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- Ri Jin, researcher of the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies, Thursday issued the following article titled "'Trafficking in Persons Report' highlights only the incurable maladies of the United States":

Recently, the U.S. Department of State released again a "report" that willfully assesses and classifies the practices of "human trafficking" in the DPRK and all other countries of the world.

The "report", as in the past, repeated its slander against the sovereign states, citing the data of "human trafficking" in other countries and labeling them as "model states" or "backward states" after grading the countries in order of the governmental efforts for eradicating "human trafficking" and their results.

Last year we had already branded the annual "Trafficking in Persons Report" of the U.S. which was run through with the obsolete fabricated data as a diagnosis of mental derangement of the U.S. addicted to the politicization of human rights.

The U.S. still tries to style itself a "human rights judge" though it is breaking the world's worst human rights record every year. It is stunning the public.

It is illogical that the U.S., where horrible shooting incidents occur at schools, churches and shops almost every day and tens of thousands of people are being taken to prisons due to the policy of expelling immigrants, assesses the situation of human rights in the world.

This is not the only thing.

It is, indeed, a tragicomedy that the U.S. government made a "judgment" upon the world situation of "human trafficking" at a time when the whole world is astonished at a U.S. millionaire's hideous underage sex trafficking.

The reality clearly proves that the U.S. "Trafficking in Persons Report" is nothing but a means for veiling its records of human rights violation and politicizing human rights to justify the pressure on different countries and interference in their internal affairs, and has nothing to do with the substantial efforts to eradicate human trafficking.

It is by no means fortuitous that not only the anti-U.S. and independent countries but also the "countries sharing their mind" with the U.S. are openly criticizing the U.S for its deceitful and contradictory gibberish about "human rights".

Today when the world aspires after multi-polarization, the DPRK and many other countries are directing efforts to promoting human rights conforming to their own history, culture and socio-economic environment.

The U.S. is well advised to clearly understand the reality and realize that the old-fashioned and inefficient behavior of a "human rights judge" is no longer appropriate, and it moves to internationalize and politicize the "human rights" issues of other countries would only result in self-harming consequences of bringing its miserable human rights situation to a focus.

We will in the future, too, not lend an ear to the U.S. deceptive "human rights" rhetoric but do our best to defend the most advantageous socialist system of our own style and the genuine rights and interests of the people. -0-

This is cool AF but I want to see them compete with K-Pop and debut a group.

"REDBLACK in your area"

"Juche Girls... it's going down!"

Oh, me too! That'd be neat!

'Course, my brother might find and like it, and then I'll get dragged into him and our dad having an argument about North Korea, because that boy never knows when a political argument Isn't Worth It or talking about a particular country with a certain individual or group is something you Don't Do. I... Dad's... bearable, knowing I'm a commie. But... there's a reason I'm way more insistent Stalinism doesn't exist in front of him than while arguing with a Trotskyist. He has a serious problem with "authoritarianism". Essentially, I can be a commie, so long as I appear to be a harmless socdem type. I can support the USSR, to some reasonable extent, as long as I'm not too uncritical, because it's no longer an Extant Threat. I can't be too in favour of any modern AES, though. So... when Best Korea might possibly come up... I just leave the room. The argument isn't worth it. The getting needled about it and remaining silent is equally incriminating as saying "critical support" and explaining what that means. There is nothing I can do except walk away, before it comes up, citing some other reason I need to be in another room right away.

But, uh, yeah. "DPRK-pop" would be a good propaganda strategy. I like it.

Someone needs to smuggle in copies of FL Studio or Ableton and help them drop some fresh juche beats.

Yeah, absolutely. Although, tbh, most of why I like music from communist states is that I like military marches and revolutionary songs, a lot of pop does nothing for me... but the point isn't for us commies to like it, it's for people like my brother to like it.

Thanks for the hugs. It's not all bad, my dad at least realises that the conservatives have gone completely bonkers of late, and my mum... she's a liberal, but easily the most communist inclined politically unconscious liberal I've ever met. She wouldn't read Lenin to save her own damn life, but she'd do Leninist tactics under the right circumstances to help the people she views as vulnerable and worth helping, y'know what I mean? She's one of those liberals who actually believes in the things they as a whole claim to and rarely do. Part social-democrat type, part "mama bear to everyone's kids" type. Bread and Roses is definitely "her" revolution song, "we march too for men, for they are women's children" fits her very well, she does a lot of "well, this isn't my cub, but mama bear gonna mama bear, protect the folks who need protection" stuff. She works as support staff in a Catholic school, and to hear her tell it, her official job description is irrelevant, and her actual job is to do everything she can to keep the most frustrating special needs kids from being abused out of anger or desperation by her colleagues. So yeah, Dad sucks and kid brother's clueless, but Mum calls a fascist a fascist and is the reason I still use the term "social democrat" in the 1905 Russia sense for myself... because she's the missing link and proof that they're not all completely impossible to bring back around. She'd never call herself a socialist or read our theory, but on actual policy, she's usually got a much higher accuracy than your standard liberal broken clock. So yeah, I do have some safe people at home - my brother doesn't care that I'm a communist and just hates me because every teenage boy hates his big sister, and my mum's a genuinely great person and very good at Being Strictly Neutral and keeping Dad from actually doing physical harm.
