ok i pull up

1. awful approval rating

2. elections a month away

Oh yeah, it’s martial law time

sort of a classic South Korean presidential move.

declare martial law, liquidate some people resistant to your fascist government and it's openly corrupt business dealings, blame communists to the north for everything with zero evidence or logic, and maybe throw in a prayer/prophecy for the magic ghosts that your family's right wing cult venerates.

haven't seen it in a while, but sometimes you gotta return to those early fundamentals your entire bullshit fake client state was founded on.

I have a group chat with a couple of my former journeypeople who taught me the trade while i was an apprentice.

I sent this article to this chat with a dumb quip like "looks like south korea was the real north korea all along" i believe it was. This is the first response and what, i believe, will be the John Q. Public response to this.

I imagine it has to do with all the north sending troops to Ukraine and the impending ww3. But I didn't read it, so I'll just assume lol.

Our trade has a reputation for being dumb guys who do drugs (we're not roofers, FYI) but when I read that I just sighed.

If martial law would be disruptive to their business model and if they have good connections in the opposition (which they surely do) this is how you get yourself executed by Samsung corporate security.

I heard the military noped out at the time I'm posting this comment.

Opposition party speaker had to climb fence to access parliament

moment

I’m waiting for all the democracy lovers clutching their pearls about Georgia to chime in on this shit. Yup. Aaaaaaany minute now

I've been joking about it, but here it is - the incel revolution.

threat of North Korean communist forces, to eradicate the despicable pro-North Korean anti-state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people, 

Ok how the hell is DPRK "plundering the freedom and happiness" of SK?

so like, if it's true, the military will just start arresting people?

incel uprising?

I'm reading their Parliament just voted to block it. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

liberate Occupied Korea and my life is yours!

This is what rules based democracy looks like sweaty I don't make the rules

Only Democracy ~~in the middle east~~ on the Korean peninsula.

So what's with this guy is he a right wing psycho? I doubt he pulls this without state department backing given that ROK hosts our biggest overseas base complete with waterslides

US backing a right wing coup in ROK to stimy even the mildest reforms would be very classico

He did not say in the address what specific measures will be taken.

Declared martial law

Refuses to elaborate further

Is killed by a North Korean drone

Seems like parliament managed to against it, true army decides hours

Three of my buddies there are saying it’s a complete nothing burger as far as affecting everyday life, “martial law” here does not mean the military shutting anything down. Just some internal power struggles that somehow scapegoat the DPRK?

I love waking up to one event that I was afraid it may occur actually occurred under this freak of a president.

Capitalism already plundered your freedom bruh.
