Man, what is going on in South Korea?

South Korean politics has always been weird.



Nor is martial law unknown in South Korea. The country experienced it under the control of Park Chung-hee in the 1970s. Then, the South Korean people fought with blood, sweat, and tears to institute a true democracy. It’s under this context, with martial law in the living memory of many in the country, that South Korea was galvanized to call for impeachment for an already massively unpopular Yoon. South Koreans are very protective of their democracy, and Yoon’s attempt at martial law drew comparisons to the authoritarian Park Chung-hee government, especially since Yoon’s first move after the martial law declaration was seemingly to block the National Assembly from voting to end it. This move was undoubtedly one step too far for the South Korean public and the calls for impeachment were a statement from the population that they will not take a threat to the democratic process lightly.
That sheds some light on things, thank you. That helps it make more sense, anyway. He's not getting Martial Law.
 
And then there's this:
 
Okay, so the South Korean sentiment is Democracy or fuck off, amirite?
 

Unlike the U.S., South Korea's wealthy tend a lot more to highly productive manufacturing and real management types, while the U.S.'s big money is in 'finance', i.e. embezzling, fraud, pump and dump scams, and loan sharking. They have a lot more Henry Fords than Lester Madoffs.

That's kinda how I'm seeing Musk right now.
Now all we need is another Tesla or Edison.
 
It's definitely something to keep an eye on. I hope things go OK over there.

It will; unlike the U.S., they're more protective of their culture and democracy. We just mostly shit on ours and pander to commies and faggots and whining billionaires.

Korea's shipyards are like the 8th Wonder of the world. I'd rather visit them again than see the grand canyon.
