    This is straight up one of the goofiest ones that I’ve ever read. A person with a single brain cell could tell that it’s made up. But, it still made it to the front page of reddit lmao

    Yahoo News outright calling the DPRK a kingdom lmao

    edit: you can contact them at corrections@yahoonews.com if you want 🤷 not sure if it’s really helpful but calling the DPRK a kingdom is really taking it a step further and yahoo will probably correct it, because they didn’t use “alleged” or “de facto monarchy”, or “the country some call a monarchy”. The wording is different and important in this case.

      Anticommunists have been referring to Korea as ‘the hermit kingdom’ since the 19th century. Ellen Brun and Jacques Hersh noted this in Socialist Korea.
