Interesting. There having multiple instances of boycott against Israel for the Gaza genocide but I never heard about any of those in Hacker News.

Because I find media manipulation infuriating.

RT.com is banned from my work computer, while any other news website is not.

'control', 'bizarre': It's always funny to see how many condescending, imperialistic adjectives you can pack in a news story about the DPRK. Of course they arent just nice buildings that the government built for their people, it has to be "about control". They arent just an acomplishment from a socialist nation that during most of its history has been sanctioned, they are "bizarre".

Really, this is just propaganda, from both sides. The DPRK likes to propagandize its achievments (because they are constantly demonized in the West), and Reuters needs to propagandize how everything in the DPRK is 'evil' somehow. Horrible, imperialistic stuff.

The problem is not TikTok, is social media aimed at children in general. Singling out TikTok is just China bashing. Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Discord, all of them can be equally harmful or worse. Banning TikTok only is just the US government protecting Meta and Google businesses.

What a strange thing to say. No country is stranger to famines. Nowadays the country has a normal and modern economy.

Is financing North Korea bad? I understand that is illegal for American companies because it is an enemy of the Empire, but I applaud those willing to break the law to help the enemies of the Empire.

That landing is as much a "US landing" as the profits of a private company, LOL. You live under capitalism, the only thing that gets socialized are the losses of big banks, everything else is priavte.
