KR South Korean president declares emergency martial law, accusing opposition of anti-state activities

Article | Archive

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law,” Tuesday accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.

Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing. He declared the step as critical for defending the country’s constitutional order. It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.

Yoon since taking office in 2022 had struggled to push his agendas against an opposition-controlled parliament.

Probably hoped for a 2nd Gwangju Massacre with the US feeling forced to support him to keep their precious military ally. He forgot it's not the 80s though and the US won't let you do a coup without explicit permission.

From my knowledge of kpop stars and celebs- most of them are in slave-like contracts, they can't publically voice any opinion on pretty much anything

And when they do, they just voice what their slavemasters want them to say. Take the then 16yo Tzuyu who committed the grevious sin of waving the flag of her Taiwanese homeland.

Because cucking out now means that you will merely be jailed for decades or executed. If you don't, the long arm of US foreign policy will rape you, your children and ancestors, and everyone within two degrees of separation to you. It's best to just give up and say you had a severe pill-induced lapse in judgement.

If those are the options then go down swinging.

It's fucking amazing that America had any global allies left after the late 70's early 80's. Between Vietnam just a few years before, the whole Shah bullshit in Iran, and the Gwangju Uprising, we were really pushing the limits of the bullshit people were willing to tolerate. It's amazing anyone managed to continue trusting us after all of that (and, of course, that is just the shit I am aware of, I am sure the scholars of history among us can fill in all the shit I likely missed).
