Imagine having a country where president can just turn himself into a dictator by simply declaring martial law to arrest all opposition.

South Korea has spent decades claiming North Korea will collapse at any moment. However, North Korea only got stronger, and it seems now that South Korea is the one collapsing.

This is what happens when you build a country on fear and lies. Lies tend to collapse.

"While Yoon did not clarify what specific measures would be taken, Yonhap reported, citing the full military decree, which bans all political and parliamentary activities and allows arrests without a warrant.

The decree also prohibits “denying free democracy or attempting a subversion,” and outlaws “fake news” and “manipulating public opinion.” People who violate the decree can be arrested or raided without the need for a warrant, Yonhap added."

You don't have to imagine it, just watch it happen, it's called Project 2025.

Trump promised he would be a dictator, and over half the country voted for that, the people have chosen Fascism over Democracy, conspiracies over truth, racism over tolerance, and lawlessness over law and order.  

Now sit back and watch this country go to hell in a handbasket...and the people who chose this will throw blame in every direction.

Especially when they don't get their reward for being loyal fascists.

They will have no excuse. They chose Trump.

They cant make bad decisions and then expect that they can blame everyone except themselves for all what will follow. They chose a retard to be their king.

Once Trump destroys Palestine, gives half of Ukraine to Russia and starts purge in USA, all which he openly promised to do, maybe then these retards will realize what they voted for. Then they will turn their anger to him.

The military blocked the parliament, labeling them as North Korean supporters which then makes it possible to remove parliament members from power even if parliament itself disagrees.

"South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said early Wednesday that he would soon lift the martial law he imposed during a tense night of political drama in which troops surrounded parliament and lawmakers voted to reject military rule.

Yoon said his government had withdrawn the military personnel that had been deployed, and that he would formally lift martial law following a Cabinet meeting as “soon as members arrive.”"

No they won't, Trump owns then through anger, he keeps them angry and controls them with anger, their core value is all about not being responsible, they will blame, blame, blame.  It's what they do with their anger.  

They take pride in being irresponsible, nothing is their fault.

That is how a democracy functions. South.Korea is still a democracy.

They might impeach him. And this is way worse than a phone call to a corrupt leader or a tweet saying to protest peacefully.

If you want to be more popular, then you very much have to be extreme.

Now, I dont think its always good to be popular, but it seems that bad boys are usually more popular.

So if you wanna be more popular, gotta be bad boy.

So why don’t you allow Kim Jung Un to be popular in South Korea. You let him be a bad boy.?

South Korea constantly talks of North Korea. This is one of rare opportunities for South Korea to be extreme. It didnt even last long.
