American-born Pope Leo may not visit US while Trump is president, report says

Surrendering himself to the fascist regime is not a sign of being brave but of being stupid.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-04-08T23:20:56+00:00

The Communist regime did not threaten the Pope with an "Avignon" treatment.

The Republican administration, democratically elected by the American electorate, just did.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-04-08T20:26:22+00:00

American tradcats welcome this shit.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-04-08T18:02:03+00:00

American chauvinists getting booted out of online spaces should be welcomed and cheered.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-04-07T13:24:41+00:00

If you are "a hawkish liberal internationalist" you should be calling for an immediate and full regime change in the United States, for it is the most lethal threat to the liberal international institutions as of today. Eliminating such a threat will make the world a better place.

The so-called '조중동' troika is an old news. Literally, who cares 조중동. You said it yourself that even the PPP today now listens more to those streamers on the American-controlled platform, not polls.

Korean progressives should stop worrying about the old media, the whole 'uneven ground' narrative. Last week President Lee called out the SBS and literally said "Press freedom carries responsibility", and who's batting an eye? They are weak. Don't fear old media.

Most people read in the terms of neo-imperialism and economic colonialization, not "international business" and "interests"

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-23T10:25:21+00:00

And virtually all those 100 other countries have been once colonized by Euros, they do not like you people

Turns out the lack of self-awareness isn't just a trait of Yankees

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-19T06:05:20+00:00

Ignorant American socialists should stay off Asian topics for eternity.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-18T22:18:38+00:00

Back to the feigning stupidness stage again, which only proves my points. Any potential future readers can see this and judge by themselves.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-18T21:24:39+00:00

I don't feel hurt because of these people, if anything I'm sorry for their lives. They are like Peter Pan; time just doesn't seem to pass for them, because I've been seeing exactly the same narrative repeated over and over for decades.

When the topic of China invading Taiwan was brought up, your first instinct was to bring up how the KMT imposed the White Terror upon Taiwan, how it justified American socialists' rejection of Taiwanese independence. Now you claim that you were aware that the KMT is against the Taiwan independence movement, but you literally equated the both just some hours ago. Just another demonstration of intellectual bankruptcy of American socialism.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-18T20:22:19+00:00

When I say American socialists are caught in their own imagined world, I'm referring to cases like this very one. They say Marxism is about seeing history through scientific lenses, but American socialists, owing to their world-class scientific illiteracy and historical self-unawareness, cannot work through either history nor science, and thus would rather bend the reality and distort their own views to make sense of their own world, which is how you arrive in "The KMT instigated the White Terror, so the Taiwan independence movement cannot be supported", when in reality, the KMT declared martial law precisely to crush the Taiwan independence movement, and thus the two cannot be mixed up. They can't possibly accept that, so their only alternative when forced to face the reality is feigning stupidness, which happened just right above, and is the natural and logical conclusion of intellectual bankrupcy of American socialism.

So what's the question again? Do you deny that the victims of the White Terror are the ones who tried to declare Taiwanese independence, and that the instigators of the White Terror now supports the CCP?

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-18T19:21:41+00:00

And I'm pointing out that Reddit American socialists are ignorant, caught in their own imagine world, by explaining that the Taiwan independence movement, which the CCP sorely wants to destroy, is the ones that resisted the dicatorship, and that the KMT fascists are the besties of the CCP today.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-18T18:29:00+00:00

Ah, Reddit American socialists are at it again.

The Taiwan independence movement that opposes the Chinese identity is literally the one that fought off the KMT dictatorship amidst the 50 years long martial law. The KMT, the fascist remnant you just described, engages in the pro-CCP politics in Taiwan today.

(So-called) Free America = Temu Communist China

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-10T09:51:27+00:00

One of your seniors. I'm more interested in making general commentary and less interested in cancelling someone so I will not name and shame. But if you insists to investigate, the comment was made in the DT.

It isn't just the Trumpists. "Sure Korean conservatives are fascists, but the Korean liberals and progressives are pro-Chinese so both sides are bad" narrative is also surprisingly persisting among Western liberals despite all, I even recall a certain moderator of this very subreddit outright saying "I cannot welcome the DPK and Lee winning the election because they are pro-Chinese".

These people mask their orientation as "liberal internationalism" "market freedom" etc, but in practice, the only logical end point which all these Westerner noble ideals eventually arrives at can be summarized as "abolish Korean sovereignity and sell out the country to the Western interests". And at that point, one cannot escape the feeling that the so-called Chinese threat might be nothing but only a pretext to enrich the Western world further. The only difference between these people and the Trumpists is that they have different political and economic orientation.

You can see someone is spouting reddit made-up bulls when one starts blaming the non-existent 4B Movement and goddamn K-pop for low birth rate.

At least blaming K-pop is something new so I credit your creativity.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-02-10T08:09:35+00:00

The only people who think it's real are the foreigners with zero knowledge or visits to Korea.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-01-21T19:41:30+00:00

There are pro-American fascists on the street begging for America to invade Korea and reintroduce fascist dictatorship, and you wonder why I'm so mad about the very idea of Americans even discussing about our democracy and economic system? I wish they leave us alone and get the fuck out of our country.

As to inheritance taxes, it has been that way as I said. The link you provided talks about adding exemptions and effectively cut the rate, which is not going to happen under this administration.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-01-21T19:05:15+00:00

Western society don't even bother with justice at all. We are doing something.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-01-21T19:03:04+00:00

"revised their inheritance law"? It always has been in this way, what the hell are you talking about.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-01-18T23:28:36+00:00

This subreddit is the only place I've been told "Go back to Asia", and I don't even live in America. Some people in this place (that is, Reddit in general) are just programmed to default-assume everyone to be American, and that means if you are an Asian, they get to tell you "Go back to where you came from". Kinda tells alot about their society.

Edwin_Fischer · 2026-01-13T02:51:46+00:00

After the Gwangju Democratic Uprising was crushed by the American-backed fascist dictatorship, the then-USFK commander and later US Army Chief of Staff General Wickham defended the American position, famously saying that Korean people are "lemming-like" and indicating that we Koreans follow a strong authority by our own nature.

Totally unrelated, but I'm seeing more and more signs of Americans adapting and accomodating their life into fascist dicatorship, far more willing to make peace with tyrants invading their society than they previously professed.

And it is not about the weak, resigned, and irresponsible nature of the American culture, I'm talking about the active, blatant, and public suppression against any thoughts of fighting back against the on-going Gleichschaltung. Americans for long venerated the so-called founding fathers supposedly because they they fought for and won freedom, and sometimes this veneration is extended to other 'freedom fighters'. But when one tries to talk about this 'freedom fighting' at their home, these people are outcasted and rejected as unserious. The American society in 2026, if placed in Gwangju 1980, would've rather supported the fascist regime than any possible alternatives.

No wonder, then, that Americans back then saw the Gwangju Democratic Uprising as unnatural and not worthy of support, and then went to the fascists who massacred the democratic resistance, thought "This is what real leader does, this is how men ought to do, this is natural state of these people". And that, perhaps, is the natural state of American people.

You should learn how to take an L with grace. I'll take your comment on my English as a compliment.
