VPNs don't help, I've tried. They must have a block list.

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
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.

And now we wait
"Leftists" only in the sense that they want the boot to be on the other foot. Authoritarians are all the same.
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.
Yeah, and Nazi stood for National Socialists.
A lot of the new Nazis in Germany (AfD) actually believe this btw.

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.
