Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

When did Korean literacy become so common for soldiers that it's possible for this to accidentally happen?

Korean letters are insanely easy to learn, the whole purpose of their alphabet was so even the stupidest farmer could learn it within a week.

Guessing this is supposed to be a gotcha based on domain, but it's not. They pretty openly teach people to read so they can read propaganda.

Of course, if you believe they're Wakanda IRL maybe that's just what they say to outsiders to keep them away.
