If you get a divorce in North Korea, you and your spouse will be sent to a labor camp for one to six months to atone for your “crimes,” residents in the country told Radio Free Asia.
Divorce is considered an anti-socialist act, and is generally frowned upon in Korea.
You have to like really fuckin hate each other to still get a divorce.
Could be the start of the plot for a romantic comedy brought to you by NK’s propaganda films department. Divorcing couple sign the papers, get carted off to a labor camp and learn to love the state – and each other (but mostly the state) – all over again.
These people have different problems all together. Do you think they want self actualize,find themselves or some shit? Lol 😂 divorce
Did you even read the post?
“Please don’t tell me we got assigned to the same camp, damn!”
Get a divorce? Straight to jail. No question.
Isn’t the whole North Korea just a big labor camp?
If Project 2025 becomes a reality we might start seeing headlines which say “In the United States, couples who divorce will be sent to labor camps”.
Coming soon to a Republican house bill near you…
North Korea is too pro-woman’s rights for Republicans
But only if its the woman who wants the divorce… And then only if the man’s income is above $1000000 otherwise they are poor and therefore should be in a labour camp/work for Amazon anyway. If they are same sex they go to the camp anyway.
Not sure if /s is appropriate cos I am a “right ponder” and don’t know how close to the truth I am…
Yeah, or they make a fine rule “For 100.000$ you can buy you out of the camp or send an immigrant to take your place.”
Because of course Trump, his cronies and all these idiots still want the option to get rid of their (35+) “aging” wife’s and make sure the 20 year old they bought cannot run away that fast.
I fully expect a “you cannot leave the country without your husband’s approval” app like in Saudi Arabia at some point.
“Divorce is considered an anti-socialist act”
I don’t even understand what this means.
I feel like it’s like saying “eating pineapple pizza is generally an anti-banking act.”
…what?
I think the logic is that a low birth rate is bad for the state. To harm the state makes one an anti-socialist.
Does divorce by itself even lower the birthrate though? Intuitively, one might suspect that a couple that were no longer interested in eachother probably isn’t having many children, compared to if those people were to pair off again with new partners?
Yeah, I feel like promoting healthcare for pregnant people and children, giving incentives to having kids and pushing out propaganda pertaining to sex without condoms feeling better and pregnant women being sexy is all the rage while using movies, tv, and music to push promiscuity would help birth rates.
“Had a hard day… Take it out on a hard cock.” Haha things I never thought I’d type in my life for 200 Alex
The cannon fodder isn’t going to make itself
Now that they found a business selling mercenaries they need to increase the birth rate
I’m a firm-believer that if people do not want to understand something, then they won’t.
It doesn’t take much thought to realize they’re referring to the unity of the nation. Divorces cause problems. They show not everything is hunky-dory. The regime doesn’t want that.
Divorces solve problems. That’s what they are for. What they cause is a glitch in the mirage, you think? Probably, but it might be something more idiotic even.
North Korea is all about appearances, actual solutions aren’t important
Well since we’re sharing firm beliefs, I firmly believe if your intent is to inform someone then insulting the person you’re supposedly informing is the worst way to go about it. People just get defensive and will attempt to reject information more readily when that is done.
So, they allow divorce, but that comes bundled with a near death sentence for both?
Wasn’t easier to just forbid divorces? I’m guessing the elite needs divorces for when they find a hotter girl.
Radio Free Asia
The most “reliable” source possible
lol, we all know the organisation running radio free Asia to spread its propaganda… lol 😂😂😂
“Propaganda” and “lie” are not synonyms.
This isn’t really even a new story. Divorce was outlawed in May.
Isn’t this source funded by the CIA?
No, it’s funded by Congress, but that hardly means anything.
You need to go learn what editorial independence is. Journalists for RFA aren’t being sentenced to 3 generations of there family being out into concentration camps for disagreeing with the US govt.

Careful. If Trump could read, he’d think that was a brilliant idea.
Why is congress funding it?
Congress holds the checkbook. Nothing any part of the federal government does is funded by anyone unless they write the metaphorical check.
News about the world is important to have without it coming from private money, just as news from private money is important to have so it isn’t all coming from the governments money.
Other instances of money being used in this way is PBS. So, Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street, Arthur, The Magic School Bus, Wishbone… all aired on TV for the American populous because Congress wrote a check.
I mean it’s pretty much our version of the BBC.
