So let me analyze this:

some f-slur stuck his head out the window out of a spaceship

This is historic because he wasn't a NASA astronaut. He didn't fly 200 combat missions in Korea, risking his own life to let South Korea become what it is today instead of another totalitarian shithole. He just like rode the vibes :marseyunamused:

Wow, what a great day for the human race.

Isaacman is not a war veteran but he's still an accomplished pilot and this spacewalk is historical because of the high altitude (>730km apogee) and because it's tge first being performed by a non-governmental organization.

An apogee of 1400km and a low-cost EVA suit popped and tested in just 2 years is a big !engineering accomplishment :#marseyindignant:

>risking his own life to let South Korea become what it is today

A country whose population is on the precipice of extinction with the lowest, and continually lowering, birth rates in the world? A hyper-consumerist, plastic surgery and celebrity obsessed society working itself to death under a plutocracy? :marseysmug2:

Yeah really, they would be so much better under communism. Even North Korean propaganda doesn't deny there's a way standard of living over there.

NK apologists have some :marseysmoothbrain: to say "akshually NK was better because 1960s SK was poor and also a dictatorship" !anticommunists

And they would never ever ever admit it's because the Japanese built up more infrastructure there. I mean, how fricking hard is it to admit stuff like that, that the Japanese occupation was bad but they built a lot of useful stuff?

And the one thing they will never build a monument to even talk about is the American, Chinese, British, etc. troops who died to give them independence. It's really treacherous and disgraceful and doesn't improve their national honor. :marseysmug3:

Even SK nationalists have trouble admitting their economic system was a continuation of what the Japs putted in place during their occupation. Looking as an outsider modern SK looks like a combination of the best and worst aspects of Japanese work/study culture multiplied by 10.

Yeah, that's one of the biggest taboos there. You can never mention that their miraculous growth 1960s-1990s wasn't just a miracle. It was the Japanese offshoring a lot of their manufacturing. And the Japanese had got it from American companies first. Korea was a very poor country with a fairly well-educated population and it wasn't as corrupt as the Philippines. Foreign companies naturally flocked there. Modern Korean history has more holes in it than parts they're actually willing to talk about.

South Korea basically did what the Chinks are doing but the Chinks are shit at it because they don't have a Chad like Park Chung Hee but a weirdo soyboy named Xi Jinping.

Oh yeah, I was gonna write about him but got derailed. Let's be brutally honest here, in the 1960s-1970s you were gonna get a dictator. And if you're choosing which one you're gonna pick this guy. (The Shah gets a lot of shit but I'd also put him high up on the list until he got cancer and didn't tell anyone and let the country fall apart.)

What? SK Nationalists know that the Japs were way better for them than the Chinks after 1950. Nearly every Gook General from 1945 to 1990 all had Imperial Japanese military roots.

Its the Leftoid South Gooks who think China and North Korea are great examples of communism to strive for. They are the ones who should be beaten into a coma. They're huffing so much copium its medically concerning.

Far Left Gooks - Simps for North Korea

Left Gooks - Simps for China and North Korea

Centrist Gooks - Simps for the US. Will eat sushi and tolerate Japs.

Right Gooks - Simps for the US and will not eat sushi but be adamamant that dipping sashimi (But will call it Hway) in spicy red dipping sauce is superior to wasabi/soy sauce and will maybe tolerate Japs.

Far Right Gooks - Demands nuclear weapons to nuke China, North Korea and Japan. Simps only for South Korea.

For a little over 20 years after the war they were themselves a totalitarian shithole. :marseyshrug: But I mean, even a poor, miserable existence under Juche is unironically preferable to extinction under late Capitalism.

I mean, China's fertility rate isn't much better, it was 1.07 in 2023 and falling

Oh I know but China also has well over 30 times the population of SK so the have more leeway in that regard. Still, catastrophic shit on the horizon for SEA countries with these demographic time bombs.

Its probably worse since they've just been guessing how many people actually live there for decades and outsider nerds think they are like missing like 100 million Chinks.
