It's not South Korea; it's a single South Korean individual. And he was shut down.

People really want to push the "south korea bad" agenda. And yeah, it's got its problems. But there's a lot of places I wouldn't pick over SK.

It's not like South Korea was a fascist dictatorship until essentially the late 80s... Wait no, it's exactly like that.

This little slice of fascism that happened today made me look into the history of South Korea.

The assassination of Park Chung-Hee was some crazy ass Goodfellas shit.

Ooooh you should listen to the podcast "Blowback", season 3. It's a well researched story about the Korean War, lead up and aftermath. Very well produced.
