#North and South Korea

[siwolism]

if i see another liberal yapping about “listening to koreans” on the “north korea issue” im going to kms. south koreans are heavily propagandised from birth to view the dprk as an existential threat and their alignment with the u.s as a necessary safeguard. this propaganda isn’t just state-driven; it’s embedded in our education system, media, and culture. for decadesssss, south koreans have been told that their prosperity and “democracy” are thanks to u.s intervention. one of the many reasons the north is painted as a failed state ruled by a dictatorship is to create a “well you don’t want to be that guy” argument for south koreans in favour of u.s military occupation.

south korea’s economic success comes at massive cost: hyper-exploitation of workers, neoliberal conservative policies, and total subservience to u.s military and economic interests ect. but many south koreans are comfortable with this setup because they see themselves as benefitting from it, south koreans see themselves as both momentarily embarrassed millionaires and a momentarily embarrassed independent nation. it is a cultural problem and with every passing generation it gets worse, south korean elders who experienced the war and the dictatorships are treated as nutty demented boomers with no knowledge of the modern world as the youth of the samsung republic hurdle at full speed towards fascism.

South Korea’s conservative president Yoon Suk Yeol has declared martial law, accusing the left-wing bloc that controls the national assembly of North Korean sympathies and plotting rebellion. Yoon, a hardline former chief prosecutor, said in a late night television address on Tuesday that he would “eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalise the country”. The martial law declaration also bans “all political activities, including those of the National Assembly, local councils, political parties”, and demonstrations. It adds that “all media and publications will be subject to the control of the Martial Law Command”. Yoon pledged to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order”, but did not elaborate on how martial law would be enforced. He asked the South Korean people to believe in him and tolerate “some inconveniences” as he accused the opposition of plotting rebellion. In response, opposition leaders called lawmakers to parliament and denounced the declaration of martial law as unconstitutional.

The USA has 28,500 soldiers in South Korea, these are the bases most exposed to the North Korean threat

This is one of the most fucked up dictatorship coup attempts in history, right?

Even Donald Trump is embarrassed by this shit. At least January 6th lasted liked 12 hours.

This failed coup barely lasted as long as the mediocre HBO mini series I just watched.

Theory: Yoon thought he could be Asia’s Donald Trump.

Except everyone said: “But, no.”

All 160 members of parliament voted against him.

I think people need to realize that it was sheer luck that they have been born in developed countries with decent living conditions, away from the threat of war or civil conflicts. It is by pure coincidence at times that you end up being a citizen of a developed country, rather than one with an impoverished population experiencing man-made (because it is man-made in this day and age) famine, diseases that have been long eradicated or war (be it a civil conflict or due to selfish interests of developed nations who profit from these, at the cost of civilian lives). You could have been born into these conditions.

The point is: NO ONE should ever be made to witness the horrors of war, famine, poverty, disease or any other trauma inducing situation in which they have no free will or say about its outcome.

DPRK News Room has reuploaded their amazing documentary, "Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul", after the original upload had its audio broken by a Youtube error. Here's a link to the new upload, a great excuse to watch the video again if you have already seen it, and a great chance for anyone who hasn't seen it yet to watch and learn the truth about so-called "North Korean defector" narratives spread by the US and South Korea.
