What? Stop a fascist coup? South Korea is already owned by like 3 coporations its already fascist.
Yeah this is a read on power that's made by babies and libs.
"They said the magic words that made the law spell work. Why can't you do that America???"
Yoon's coup failed because he failed to secure the centers of power (in SK this is literally the chaebol families) in his corner, not because the Parliament did a ritual.
Exactly. I would go so far as to say the Chaebols let this happen so that they could then have parliment "stop" it and get the people feeling good about parliment so when they turn around in a few months and pass some super crazy laws people wont care.
Also a two party system with the one they consider being centrist having an ethnic supremacy wing.
The Koreas seem to be just slightly different flavors of authoritarian dystopias.
Um no. You can take the DPRK slander somewhere else.
Hey hey, their god emperor worm and bourgies are proud of their dystopia so of course it's not slander! :)
Also a two party system with the one they consider being centrist having an ethnic supremacy wing.
That's mostly result of being occupied by a militant fascist nation who tried to do several decades of cultural genocide.
The people's power party's version also has an ethnic supremacy wing, but for the Japanese. The new right movement somehow has some weird Koreans that want to restore imperial Japanese power in Korea.
Reminds of the fashs in Latin America like Milei and Bolsonaro who just love to suck up to the US. They yearn for the boot.
I don't understand how so many Americans buy the "North Korea is a cartoonish dictatorship" line so easily. It's obvious that you can make up any story about it, no matter how outlandish, and the media will just print it uncritically.
It's like a kid making up crazy stories about their cousin. The kid is full of shit half the time -- you don't believe the other half, you conclude that nothing that kid has to say about his cousin is reliable.
