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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

same with occupied Korea and kpop
Someone mentioned it yesterday and I learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan, s.k. does the same charm offensive to paper over their horrible quality of life for the poor.
yup, to large extent this is the US model as well
soon to be saudi arabia with video games (already started with pro wrestling and some other shit)
are they capitalizing on dune yet? they're the fremen! :D
Come on bruh ,thats not even comparable ,one is a previously* colonized nation and the other is home to some of the worst war criminals ever
still colonized too
Oh the past crimes of Japan are in a category of its own, no question there. I'm just pointing out that today both are occupied by the US, and both have horrific living conditions for the majority, but they have a polished image that they sell in the west.
