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

Yep but that's politically inconvenient to their fandom of Samsung the nation.

They existed decades before what you are time stamping. It's like saying it's inconvenient for Volkswagen buyers that the Holocaust happened. It really isn't inconvenient at all to them... Just feeds people's superiority complex.

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.

Haven't heard that "NK bad!" take yet.

In this particular case it's more for memability surely.

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.

It's just a little fascist; it's still good!
