That's why I said "unsurprisingly," and considering South Korea has developed far more recently, it's also important to recognize that their social progress is behind much of other developed countries. I wasn't implying that Korea has anything specific about them that made them especially misogynistic, rather, it's pointing at their current conditions and trajectories.

It's all strange. What's the point? "Hmmm, you think Nazis are bad? Have you considered that other countries are bad but significantly less bad? Checkmate!" It's just terminally online.

Imagine getting mad at someone saying Nazis are bad. I wouldn't be caught dead getting upset that someone was saying Nazis are bad, lmao

Just like most systems, at an individual level it can work for the individual. However, that's in the context of the current, IP beholden system. Alternative forms of property ownership and control have alternative mechanics, solutions, and problems.

It would of course not be fair at all to outlaw IP at the individual level alone, without outlawing IP at the corporate level as well.

In theory, yes, though the number of shares required to go against the Chaebol is just not feasible. There's a reason South Korea specifically has a word for a specific group of Billionaire Capitalists, they are essentially untouchable.

Hyperloop should be halted and replaced with high speed rail, and starlink should be nationalized. Musk keeps rinsing and repeating his grand privatized infrastructure projects where he essentially embezzles public funds.

You're blaming people's struggles with financial goals on poor planning and financial literacy, and making it a personal failure, rather than a systemic one. The reality is that people already understand basic financial literacy, but simply don't have enough income to meet basic financial goals regardless of budget.

Oh, absolutely, I agree. The only thing that truly brings solace is that reactionary movements get louder when progressive movements grow stronger.

Odd to call it "winning," but the answer is "historical total." The US has murdered tens of millions more over its several hundred year history than Nazi Germany killed in the less than half a century it existed.

It isn't sanity to pretend that hundreds of years of brutal history are equally comparable to an extremely condensed period of the single most brutal country to exist in modern history. Nazism is far more evil than liberalism, even if liberalism is still inevitably evil.

Unsurprisingly, a rising feminist subculture among women. Because Korea in general has been historically misogynistic, exposure to more feminist media and culture as well as societal progression has led to rises in feminism among women. As a response, men have felt threatened, and claim feminists are "going too far," and call feminists "femi."

An example of recent incel "controversy" is when an idol character in a video game had a frame where her index finger and thumb appeared like this: 🤏 and incels took that to be offensive to Korean Penis size, and had the man who animated that fired from Nexien. I wish I was joking.

I'm pretty sure they just operate on reflex. I say I think democratization of production is a good thing, they say that I'm suddenly a hardcore USSR Stan and want to Purge everyone who disagrees with a Supreme leader. I truly don't think someone thinking coherently and logically can make these leaps, they must be purely operating on anti-socialist reflex.

They wouldn't even answer straight when I asked which is better, a factory that is democratically controlled, or a factory that is owned solely by a Capitalist, then said I'm as dangerous as a fascist.
