    Hear that conservatives?

    You can visit the country you’re trying to make our country look like.

    You can get a good long look at what your dipshittery leads to. But only if you have the balls to leave the resort.

    What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?

    Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn’t be in a worse place.

        Highways don’t have crosswalks, and drivers can expect to have very few stoplights (compared to freeways, which should have exactly 0 stoplights or pedestrians whatsoever).

        Streets can have frequent crosswalks and stoplights.

        Sooo having a street between hotels and a beach would be no biggie, since guests could safely cross it on foot, at a crosswalk.

        But with a highway there, you cannot safely cross on foot. No crosswalks. Or if there’s something that looks like a crosswalk, it sure wouldn’t feel safe to cross it.

    Don’t mind me wrong, but looking at what Dubai is doing, I am not surprised Kim thinks people can forget about NK reality for a nice beach.

      Hah! Good fucking point! Only thing I guess is that Dubai has a wonnnderful propaganda team winning over the hearts and minds of Western audiences, while NK has synchronized communist dancing events.

      I watched Ed Stafford (first man to walk the length of the amazon) survive on a uninhabited Fijian island for about a month. He picked up a toothbrush, multiple bottles, a metal can, rope/netting and a rugby ball. That was just the useful stuff.

      There shit on that beach in NK I’m certain.

        I seem to remember he took a poster off the wall to keep as a souvenir, so they killed him. Don’t touch the posters, people.

      Damn, you’re right. I wouldn’t want to vacation anywhere that has a long history of atrocious civil rights abuses.

        Anyone traveling to Italy?! People shouldn’t forget that they were on the WRONG side of the war until Mussolini was gone! TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!

          Easy to forget that Italy was with the Allies group in WW1. But also that WW1 ended with private sector creditors knocking at the door of winners and losers alike. The old aristocracy had leveraged itself to the hilt in order to finance a pointless, needless, catastrophic war between regional powers. And now the new aristocracy of capital was trying to strip the copper out of the walls of the proles in order to pay back what was owed.

          This lead to a groundswell of socialist organization and radicalism in the wake of the Great War. One which threatened aristocrats old and new. The only response Italians (and Germans… and Brits and Americans to boot) could conceive of was a fascist heel-stomp on the necks of the rising organizations of labor.

          TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!

          Hardly traitors. Fascism was pioneered to preserve the aristocracy and the capitalists alike, by turning worker against worker along ethnic and national lines.

          It was the socialists who were the traitors. They sought to end the old world and bring about a new one. And they nearly did it.
