  • Funny thing how the rest of the world can be atheist and still enjoy the holidays.

  • Thank you for virtue signalling appropriately.

  • This is so obviously bs

    Only in your brainwashed circles bud. The fact is that these authoritarian states don’t want the possibility of any cultural mingling between societies, each has to be as alien as the other for the bubbles of ideology to sustain themselves. That makes it easy to vilify the other. A lot of European societies are largely atheist now, and they still celebrate Christmas, it's about sharing and enjoying culture festivities versus preventing cultural dissemination, at least bidirectionally.

    I see that you can't really prove its false, it just seems strange to you so it must not be true.

  • You are aware that different countries eat different foods and just because hotdogs have become popular in South Korea doesn't mean they are that popular in North Korea, right? You are aware that this isn't that different to what China tried to do, which was to try to ban Christmas, right? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-24/chinas-government-is-cracking-down-on-christmas-festivals/10666798 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/shanghai-puts-stop-spooky-season-rcna177545

  • Too bad it isn't a lie. That's the thing about dictatorships, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

  • We in the democratic world are capable of making fun of our crazy leaders, even when there might be a clear bias to that information. Those with an agenda to pander to go crazy eyes when anyone in their ideological bubble godhood pantheon has anything that is near seeming borderline bad appear to be associated to them.

    If you truly do care whether a despot bans hotdogs for their citizens as a matter of "truth" and "credibility", it truly must be a slow day and for a weighted agenda. At least the downvote list for that comment should be useful to instance admins, but it's fairly obvious why cough cough cross-posted to: counterpropaganda@hexbear.net (see profile)

  • They do have to, we are literally living the era of Cambridge Analyticas and troll factories that proves why. Imagine tying your phone number to Twitter's app just to be classified as a troublemaker and persecuted in things like job searches just for disagreeing with Musk, it's closer to reality than you think.

  • What I like is the speech Kamela gave afterwards about fighting for your rights. Do you even see yourself, "democrats", and what you have become!? I'll be proven wrong if "democracy", or what passes for it in the current oligarchy, manages to survive a Trump presidency. I don't think I will be, I think this is really it.
