  • North Korean Pleasure Squads: are they real?

    Jump

  • I'm one of the people here who's more critical of the North Korean Communist Party here, and this story still doesn't ring true.

    The Pleasure Squad, said to be 2,000 in number, serves not only Kim Jong-Un (Il), but serves other high-ranking party members as well. However, the testimonies of high-ranking defectors, such as a couple of diplomats, and the former chairman of the people's assembly. does not include the Pleasure Squad. It is said to be a secretive group and common people aren't aware of its existence, yet detailed testimonies about the group comes from regular people who somehow know about the composition, selection criteria, numbers, etc. etc.. The contradictions regarding this group just doesn't resolve, and the likely explanation is that the group doesn't exist.

  • Yes, if she cares about it strongly enough. Iceland is a parliamentary democracy instead of a presidential democracy - it means that the PM is the head of the government, the head of her party, a legislator, and the head of the coalition at the same time. She can force the issue. The only way to stop her would be for the other coalition parties to go against her, dissolving the government itself.Of course, there is no need to stop her as she isn't using her power that has been vested in her by the people to exercise on their behalf. She's on a strike instead, a strike against herself essentially since she's the only one who can do anything about it.

  • She is literally the prime minister, the leader of the ruling party/coalition. Pass a legislation mandating equal pay with strict enforcement mechanisms if she actually cares about it instead of striking.

    What's next, CEOs doing solidarity strikes for worker safety instead of making the workplace safer?

  • Philippines Drops China Railway Deals, Seeks Other Funders

    Jump

  • Japan is honorary white considering their history of imperialism and racism, not to mention their current financial imperialism. They are not abused by the system - they are the system as much as Germany or Netherlands are.

    Phillipines is more like S. Korea in that they are willing participants of the status quo. The difference is that South Korea at least benefits by upholding the current system, unlike Phillipines who does it for free.

  • The Senate just unanimously adopted a resolution condemning pro-Palestine student protesters as "in solidarity with Hamas" and anti-semitic. 🤡

  • The Pledge of Allegiance will now include a section for denouncing Hamas and Russia.

  • Internal Wix chat encouraged staff to support Israel’s ‘narrative’ in Hamas conflict

    Jump

  • One message in an internal company discussion, set up by a manager in the days after the Hamas attack in southern Israel, encouraged employees to “show Westernity” in social media posts backing Israel, as “unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans”, it said.

  • I agree. Homophobia, ableism, transphobia, and body shaming against republicans and dictators are fine.

    Shame on anyone who dares use such discriminatory language against liberals. You should know better than that, bigot.

  • Austerity may be painful in the short-run, but it is necessary to resolve this economic crisis. Except when the crisis happens in the US or EU, the government will bailout the economy.

    No, Greece, Portugal and Spain don't count as a real EU member when it matters. Bailouts are for core members only!!
