    America is hosting the world cup next so…yeah literally at this point anything goes. The only way it could be worse is if the literal Nazi regime was back and they were hosting the world cup.

      Good point. Qatar is beyond wealthy but North Korea repeatedly has to threaten to nuke people in order to get aid packages.

        They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

        They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It’s admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

          I think it depends what you mean by “afford”, they might have enough money stashed away to host one time but it’s going to seriously take away from their future

          NK has never chosen their future or basic needs over useless megaprojects though

      North Korea’s GDP is on the order of 20 billion per year. Tiny for a country that size, but considering they don’t have to spend any of it on their population, that gives them a lot of bribe money.

      The longest comment I can find is like 5 paragraphs and quoting an article, is that a manifesto to you?

      Also “go back”? <3 Commies <3 have been here longer than you.

        Communists != tankies

        Real communists and socialist care about human rights, and dislike brutal, totalrian regimes like ruzzia, China and north korea.

        Tankies (and presumably, you) are free to move to those countries to be disappeared once you speak against the regime you so dearly love :3 <3

          You’re not a communist if you oppose literally every single successful revolution on the grounds of somehow still believing western propaganda.

        So there’s just libs in Hexbear now? No way to separate one from the other? What did we gain from this?

        • I’ve gotten to use PPB a lot more the last couple months. In fact I never used it before so that was cool. Otherwise it just adds some doomscrolling capabilities and also a way to see comrades dogpiling assholes. But the downsides are pretty apparent

          Technically its not “in hexbear” because its another lemmy instance, we can just see it. If you dont want to, change your main page to local.

          Some people like the opportunity to dunk, and federation has brought some comrades over to our side. Others do not like the change in culture. Personally I change my mind on it depending on my mood.

    On a side note, what exactly are we censoring on that bottom photos.

    Are we just censoring a bomb detonator box or are we censoring something else…

      It’s not even a detonator box. It’s a bike pump because he’s inflating the massive paint bubble.

      So it’s a pointless black box.

        Are you kidding me!? It’s a sexy, half-naked, pink (pink is the color of genitalia and is also slang for vagina!!!) starfish (starfish aka the butthole shape!!!) repeatedly slamming his big, thick rod into a tight little hole! That’s basically pornography!

      North Korea isn’t exactly a normal country. Considering how the vast majority of the world knows what North Korea is actually like, this will not be a popular event. FIFA is supposed to pick locations that will help the game spread and grow on global stage. The most shut in country in the world isn’t exactly a good pick. Not to mention the international criticism of FIFA as well as the boycotts from countries and fearful athletes,
