    I disagree. Occupied Korea and Japan are the canaries in the coal mine telling us what happens when capitalism has a guaranteed lock on power forever.

    This is our near-future if we don't get our shit together here in the core.

      I don't see much difference between chaebols and Western monopolies, and the RoK incel problem isn't so far off from most Western countries.

        nah this is downplaying the extent of it at least with the second thing. SK is a hyper exaggerated patriarchal society on a level most people just aren't familiar with. like the stats on violence against women as well as stuff like cosmetic surgeries speak for themselves. even just calling it an "incel problem" doesn't do it justice, 1 in 3 south korean women have experienced violence and around half the time it's at the hands of a partner.
