South Korean President Lee Jae Myung pledged this week to go after “far-right” critics both at home and abroad, following his recent White House summit with President Trump. The move has raised alarm among U.S. officials over potential infringement on free expression and transnational repression tactics.
Lee met with Trump on Aug. 25 at the White House to discuss trade, defense, shipbuilding and other strategic issues. But tensions were visible — Lee stayed at a hotel instead of the traditional Blair House, was greeted by lower-level officials, and left without attending a formal state dinner.
South Korea is killing it.
fucking lol
How?
They aren’t putting up with the corrupt global facist oligarch takeover
Mmm, look, I appreciate that THIS SK president is now going down THIS path. But buddy, SK has largely been a testing ground for the less religious elements of this.
This whole thread is just an example of how successful US propaganda has been at relieving people of the burden of critical thinking.
NK bad, SK good, that’s the depth they’re willing to go to.
Idk why you’re bringing up NK, you can dismantle capitalism without becoming an authoritarian dictatorship, but OK.
Jesus Christ. Go read some non colonial history books.
Jesus Christ. Go to North Korea 😂
Note that I never defended the ruling party in North Korea, and that I’m simply rejecting your implication that South Korea is somehow involved in dismantling capitalism.
South Korea was created and is supported by the US explicitly to protect capitalism, and the irony of you reacting to my mere mention of NK in the manner I described is completely lost on you.
I never said NK good, I said people reduce conversations about Korea into “NK bad, SK good”. And your response is to tell me to go to North Korea.
I invite you to reflect, sincerely. No mocking laughing emoji, no name-calling, go back and read what I said and how you reacted, and seriously read some non colonial history books (I didn’t say NK history books…) on what happened in Korea and what South Korea stands for, without the need to defend the Kim dictatorial regime.
