It truly is crazy to see the South Korean government go through these spasms of corporate consolidation, fascist media turns, and repeated threats of military dictatorship, while liberals scream "Whataboutism!" whenever it makes news.
Did you know the last six South Korean presidents have been prosecuted either during or immediately following their terms in office? And that we're supposed to believe this is a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy?
Yes, I think heads of state should be prosecuted more often. As an American, the lack of prosecutions here is quite troubling to me.
I mean, I think the problem is that they're doing crimes more than their frequency of prosecution.
I'd like to believe "more prosecutions will discourage politicians from doing crimes". But there's a gap in enforcement, wherein you can get all the way up to the PM/Presidency by committing crimes with impunity. And then you only get caught when you finally lose an election.
Yeah but the Republic of Samsung produces phones while the dictatorship in the north eats mud. Checkmate tankie
If they would just see SK for what it really is, a US vassal state, the things they do would make PERFECT sense, but most will never get there
