Lmao, you're a joke. The voting process in DPRK is well documented if you actually look for real sources.
Do you sincerely believe this shit? Like are you, Armen12, on this day on Lemmygrad, declaring to the world that you've abandoned all critical thinking and choose to live your life with the cognitive capacities of a lettuce slug from this day forward?
Nobody at the top level believes this crap lol. This is just gossip fodder for fashion magazines to print and remind people that the US and their made up state in the ROK are still at war with the DPRK and they need to keep up some war propaganda once in a while so that some day they can launch missiles at Korea and have people cheer for it.
You can legit go on wikipedia, type up DPRK and go from bluelink to bluelink down into obscure pages that the CIA hasn't touched too much yet and learn about all the state figures in the DPRK that are not Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il or Kim Jong Un. All the state commissions, all the state positions and officials who've held those historically, shit you can even learn about the coalition that forms the Parliament composed of three parties including the WPK.
Do you actually believe that any country in the world would last for more than 10 years if they were this comically evil? The reason nobody at the top level in the west believes this shit is because they know how hard it is to manage macro stuff like, I don't know, an entire country. In the feudal past this ended with revolutions, but there has been no such thing in the DPRK in over 70 years. Why is that? Could it be that you're ignorant and should admit you know nothing but war propaganda about the DPRK? No, it must be the Koreans who are brainwashed and kept on a leash!
Maybe there's a typo. This makes much more sense:
Joking aside, this is, again, all projection. When I was in school… if you turned up with a shaved head you'd be sent home until it grew back. If you turned up with too long hair, you'd be sent home to get it cut. If you turned up with hair gel/hairspray or any other product, you'd be sent to the gym showers to wash it out. If you turned up with beads, braids, dreads, cornrows, a few too many bobbles or plaits, you'd be sent home to 'fix it'.
I'm led to believe that schools are marginally less racist nowadays. I'm not convinced. Is France not, right now, going through another wave of Islamaphobia sending muslim girls home for wearing religious/cultural dress over their hair?
Now that I'm in work (and it's been the same in every job), there's a dress code, which includes hairstyles. It's often unofficial. That doesn't make a difference. If you turn up with anything you might call a 'hairstyle', you will be ostracised, bullied, and possibly lose your job. You won't be given any public facing tasks, for a start.
I've not even touched on the shit faced by LGBTQAI2+ workers, for whom a 'non-confirming' hairstyle will be used as evidence of something if it suits bigoted, transphobic, racist colleagues and employers.
I just find it so mind boggling that liberals can live in the same world as me, put a quacky label on something that runs through every society in one form or another, and pretend it doesn't exist under liberalism but does exist in a designated enemy country. And that it's the worst thing ever. As if people in particular places and times don't just wear similar hairstyles, because culture, fashion, religion, etc.
Yes, and OP shows how frogpilled they are because in another comment (I had to check if the fascism extended beyond just their takes on lemmygrad), they say "France doesn’t ban religious anything, only in schools". You get turned away at public pools if you wear too much there.
Everyone knows China and North Korea don't ban religion (Protip: Religion is illegal in both countries and you're sent to a concentration camp for practicing any religion)
whataboutism and moving the goalposts. Stay on topic.
