I SAID IT! FUCK JAPAN! It's the uninterrupted continuation of Imperial Japan, and it unilaterally deserves it's just condemnation for the horror it's wrecked across Asia.

      I don't think Korea's history allows them to be true believers. Capitalism is likely to be embeded in 'tribal' terms ROK = good, ROK = capitalist, ergo capitalist=good contrast to Communism = DPRK = bad. So they'll view capitalism from their experience which is an outlier globally.

      yes. but they also have great infrastructure (this is possibly an understatement) and healthcare and benefits for parents. When I went the doctor there without insurance I paid less than I paid in the US with insurance.
