    I mean, even from their own perspective, they’ve had a very unpleasant history, especially the last hundred-fifty years or so

      They’ve reached the point of deserving it. Modern Korean society is completely brainrotted by capitalist and right wing influence.

      In the next 10-15 years we are going to see what real late stage capitalism is like, and it will be in South Korea.

      A toast to the future.

        Are you a tankie or do you just think it’s cool and edgy having takes as immature as “government bad therefore they deserve it”

          It’s unnecessary to assume they’re a tankie. My guess is someone who has experienced that life first hand? If you’ve seen movies like Parasite you get an idea of mindset and culture OP is talking about. Of course it’s not all as extreme as OP says, but there are reasons why the term Hell Joseon is part of the culture there, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Joseon
