It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

North Korea has kept to itself for something like 70 fucking years and still people are utterly terrified that they'll leap across the border and do Evil Communist things the moment South Korea's back is turned

I have to assume you're mistaken, because we get a new "North Korea Hackers Infiltrating Bitcoin!", "North Korea Launches Kryptonite tipped missile directly at Japan but accidentally misses!", and "North Korea Potemkin Grocery Store Selling Fentanyl Transgender Candy With Razor Blades In It" news articles every few weeks.

back in the 60s and 70s things were more intense, DPRK has dug tunnels under the DMZ and there have been some cross-border incidents such as the Blue House Raid

but yeah it's been quiet since the 90s and the Arduous March as far as I know

Does anyone know if the reports their ambassadors used to sell drugs when on trips, and that they sell meth internationally, has any truth to it?

What, like Air America shit or diplomats with trench coats filled with Hamas fentanyl bombs and weed vapes?
