They'll reduce that from 4 into 1.

There's an entire side to Korea that is never, never, reported on here. Like the extremely militant and violent labor unions and government meddling in the economy. The chaebol stuff is real but that's just one side of things, the side that journos like to talk about.

inb4 Redditors complain that America ruined glorious commie SK

We need to form an international coalition asap to intervene and save the korean women

Korea is total shitshow. There is good reason why it has lowest birth rate. So what economy is few mega corporations. People arent happy with current things

Unironically we need some massive reforms. In a lot of ways they've been running the same way since the 1400s and the world has actually changed since then.

The National Security Law may seem weird to Americans, but we have a couple oceans next to us, not North Korea. Every few years they find a major conspiracy of people plotting to do sabotage if war breaks out. Up into the 1990s at least the commies were landing commando teams from submarines to do terrorist attacks. Until recently the beaches near the border had barbed wire, not thots in bikinis.

I hate when there's 1 censorship party so you try to search elsewhere, and most of the other parties are also censorship parties. Except 1 that wants free tactical backyard nukes and 10 year old age of consent

30 years ago...

...was fricking 1995, r-slur. It already had roughly the same standard of living that it does now.

North Korea may have been doing better economically into the 1960s, 60 years ago. Of course on the other hand you have to deal with all the commie bullshit.

That has nothing to do with support for NK in the South. For one thing, nobody had any idea what things were like up there because it was illegal to talk about. Your only information about NK would be from propaganda from both sides and they could just freely make up whatever they wanted to. It has its roots in regional animosities that date back long before communism and especially in butthurt young people in the 386 generation who wanted to rebel against their parents.

nah there's more to just speaking chinese here lol !asians @KoreanFailedCoupKing

probably did some r-slurred mainlander shit to deserve this

cornered and attacked

They just happened to accidentally run into the pro-Yun protest while shopping for handbags?

When someone claims they like the food there you can tell they're a poser.

I dunno what's going wrong in the world when every democratic country seems to be getting taken over by extremists on both sides.

The left is defined by being at the very least soft on North Korea. This is the most basic fact of Korean politics. If you want really obvious evidence, notice how every leftoid government ever has tried to appease them or just straight up give them money.

The coup had zero chance of succeeding so there's no need to immediately purge anybody. All this does is remind people that both sides suck.

That kind of thinking puts you on the road to becoming a thirdie country. If a guy attempts a coup, you jail him and let the prosecutor's office sort out who's guilty or not. There are plenty of functioning democracies that survived a coup attempt.

No, that's a totally foreign issue to them. Immigration is mostly loser guys in rural villages getting mail-order brides from Vietnam. They have very strict controls over foreigners working there. They know to look out for #1. They're excessively xenophobic but I'd say the ideal society would be about right in the middle between Korea and America on this.

"Left" and "right" in Korea, as I've said, is mostly determined by how you feel about NK. I don't want to exaggerate. For example, the left supports (psycho) organized labor more, the right is soft on crimes committed by chaebols. There are real issues but don't assume they always line up with your idea of the political spectrum. Like the current president's wife got trashed for not having kids. These DP b-words were ice cold. Talking about how there won't be any pitter patter of childrens' feet in the (equivalent of the White House), just cats' paws. And the last rightoid president also got that. Which is especially funny because she is so obviously a lesbian but they cannot admit that even exists in their country.
