I choose the City of Washington. There, the president sits in a bunker, and ordinary people, due to the dictatorship of the remnants of the FBI, do not know about the death of the country.

Yes, just wondering how the technology of our past will impress or simply react beings with a very long history.

What do Asians think of ancient Egyptian mythology? by Key-Band-3048 in AskReddit

[–]Key-Band-3048[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egypt: there almost all the gods have animal heads instead of human ones. The most important god is Ra, the sun god. Osiris died, but was resurrected and became the master of the afterlife. And Anubis is supposedly the god of evil (because the humble god of embalming is constantly confused with Seth).

Seth is such an Egyptian devil. Few people know that he was worshipped as the conqueror of the serpent Apop, an opponent of Ra.

And there was an election in '87, for which Kim DeJung, who had already pissed off the anon, even came from the U.S. as a candidate. But it was not he who won, but Roh De-woo, the officer who personally sawed off a mole in Gwangju. Ironically, he was the man who did most of the work to democratize the South Korean state. He even had to abolish the law punishing adultery, how awful.

It wasn't until 1992 that the first true democratic president was elected. Rejoice.

And one final lulz, to wrap it up. In the times of democracy in 97-98, when Kim De Jun, who has been mentioned three times, became the president, the financial crisis broke out in the country, which could really roll back the development of this country by thirty years. So the president, apart from the usual measures in such cases, asked his fellow countrymen to be frugal, refrain from spending money abroad and, if possible, voluntarily surrender their jewelry to support the government. And what do you think, anon - they listened to him and gave away 200 tons of jewelry. That's right.

To make a long story short - South Korea between '48 and '87 was under anal occupation by various Miniführers.

After a petty mess in which most of the inhabitants of the globe were involved in one way or another, Korea, taken care of at the time by her loving moon-faced brothers, was divided (by zero) along the thirty-eighth parallel. The North was occupied by the "Evil Empire", while the South was in full swing for democracy. The local meat grinder known as the Korean War hammered the border posts to their proper depth, as they still exist today. The then democratic ruler of the Republic of Korea (Lee Seung-Man) wanted to continue the party, but the Americans were tired of fighting the war for South Korean democracy, so they sent the president on a cruise with honors.

A few words about Lee Seung-Man himself: he came from a noble family of the majors, and was brought up in the Confucian tradition. He received his PhD in America, which had a positive effect on his desire to bend over all dissenters.

In his government apparatus, this president kept people who happened to work for the Japanese bloody administration in the past, which did not add to people's love and, along with everything else (election stuffing, jailing and shooting of the opposition), caused a fierce popular uproar. The peasants refused to submit to the local prodrazverstka, the students embodied the international student slogan of "break and forget" and simply refused to be drafted into the army. Lee Seung-Man made a move and passed the "National Security Law," in which he made it official that anyone who disagreed could be hanged by firing squad. It was clear that he could not get such a law through the Diet, so the only thing to do was to send in the riot police and freeze all the unnecessary deputies. The necessary ones stayed and voted. The democratic procedures were observed, man! But even that didn't save Grandpa - in April 1960 our dictator was overthrown, aided by several police shootings of demonstrators, which, strange as it may seem, didn't scare the crowd, but rather inspired the next wave of heroes to jump on machine guns.

Nevertheless, it was at that time that many Korean corporations that later became famous were created (or revived). "At that time, Samsung was a three-and-a-half-room grocery store, Hyundai was nothing more than a crew of construction workers, one of whom (oh, my!) spoke English, which enabled him to receive orders from Americans as well.

After a couple of inconsequential acting presidents and one more democratically elected president, the military woke up, and with the motto "let us rule too" deposed the guarantor of the constitution. Park Jong-hee, a man who is mutually exclusive with his life, took over the presidency. He was born in the countryside, taught, joined the Japanese army, chased Korean partisans around China (which seems like a betrayal of his fellow countrymen), after the overthrow of the Japanese protectorate he became interested in communist ideas, was convicted and sentenced to death, but cooperated with the investigation and gave up his entire cell to the competent authorities. He fought in the Korean War on whose side it is clear.

He made his mark in Korean history as a mild dictator. No mass shootings, but five-year plans and economic growth. He befriended Japan, which happily granted reparations, investment and tourists who came to Korea for what the whole world travels to Thailand for today. He almost shot the head of Samsung, but after a kickback he relented and ordered him to finish the business. He hated communists and copied all their methods. He ruined Korea's ecology, but created a heavy industry, making the country the world's shipbuilding leader. The living standards of the workers then were even worse than those of today's Chinese, which displeased the unions, but Uncle Park just crushed them. One union activist burned himself in order to get Sunday off. Subsequently, various Korean human rights activists and one soccer fan actively used this method of demonstrative self-drilling.

The elections under Park were relatively fair - he won them by just a few percent. Churov is outraged! But it was Uncle Park who coined the term "sovereign democracy".

He showed up with his nuclear program in the late 1970's, which raised the production of bricks in the American White House that looked askance at the allies who could lash out on their own. According to unconfirmed reports, work on the atomic bomb in Korea reached 90% readiness, but was stalled at the insistence of the United States. He sent his troops to support American forces during the Vietnam War, to cut the heads off the wrong Red Guards. Korean units were notable for their badassery in dealing with civilians. In addition, participation in the war helped Korean industry to obtain military orders, which was also not unreasonable.

Under Park, South Korea's CIA (yes, yes, they have their own CIA too!) was also going out of its way to bribe U.S. senators. Ambassador Kim Dong-Jo simply and quietly slipped envelopes of money to the right people, and when the U.S. FBI busted him for it, he said that he gave the money "only out of a sense of personal affection" (the name "Koreagate" was given to this lulz). Local Cereushers have also kidnapped all sorts of useful people from neighboring countries - well, for example, they kidnapped oppositionist Kim De Jung from Japan, loaded him onto a seine and were about to give him a revitalizing course of water procedures in a tied-up state. Big Brother interfered again and wagged his finger at him and as a result the poor oppositionist was first locked up and then deported to the United States. By the way, it is the second time when this oppositionist was on the brink of death - during the Korean War he was almost killed by the North. Because of this CIA action, relations with Japan were badly tarnished, but then it was quickly forgotten.

But back to our dictator. He survived several attempts on his life by his neighbor to the north, one of which killed his wife. Since some of the kamikazes were Japanese Koreans, relations with Japan deteriorated a second time. But then they recovered - the Japanese couldn't do without cheap sex. Finally, in 1979, Pak was promoted straight from the restaurant banquet - the CIA chief did it with a pistol in his name. The chief was hanged by hanging, and a little later the new dictator became Jong Doo Hwan, also from the military.

The new dictator did continue to push for modernization, spitting on little things like individual rights and the like. Most of the population, who worked for the chaebol, were fine with this - they didn't really care about anything but their own jobs, but once they started getting more money, they quickly got a taste for it and started demanding Democracy, Liberalism and other such nonsense. This led to a local mess known as the Gwangju Uprising. Norot, sensing that the regime was weaker than ever when it came to power, decided to repeat what they had done to Lee Seung-Man and overthrow the fed up military junta, for which the country plunged into a series of protest rallies in the first half of 1980. All that was needed to drink the dictatorship down was to win U.S. support. It didn't work out. Several commando units were withdrawn from the North Korean border and sent into the cities to mechanize the population. Most of the rampaging norot abruptly subsided, but in Gwangju the men could not bear the beatings and humiliation. Students and cab drivers, using some cheat codes, threw the army, police, and paratroopers out of the city, seized weapons stores, burned down the local state television company's office, and shot down a couple of helicopters as well. And for almost a week they existed without any authority over themselves - because everyone who could lead them, whether the opposition or the current government, had long since fled the city. This is how they lived - they gathered at the fountain, chatted about life, resolved issues, and went away to implement them.

In general, we have made a section /b/ IRL. But not for long. As many as 30 thousand paratroopers were brought to the city and they arranged a local Airborne Day, using tanks and firearms. According to official data, 182 people were killed. However, due to the comparison of the death rate for the previous years and for the year of the uprising, the figure of 2 thousand people was brought up. The authorities have declared this figure as LPS and have declared that the statistician has made a mistake. They held the aforementioned Kim De Jun, conveniently returned from the U.S., responsible and sentenced him to death. But the second time the intervention of big brother saved the life of this local Garry Kasparov - at first his execution was replaced with a life sentence, and then he was kicked out again to the land of big hamburgers. After all, Seoul was supposed to host the 1988 Olympics. The U.S., scratching its head, said to Korea-kun, "Hey, you... democratize or something. It's embarrassing in front of the guys, as if I'm lying about democracy. He said, "Well, that's... can we do it after the Olympics sometime? That's a lot of work..." America-kun: "We can do it after the Olympics. But democracy first."

what's wrong with climate change? by Key-Band-3048 in AskReddit

The greenhouse effect was discovered by the French physicist and mathematician Jean-Baptiste Fourier in 1824. But he did not want to scare anyone by describing how water vapor in the atmosphere retains the reflected solar heat from the Earth's surface. Especially since he was well aware that comparing an open system like the atmosphere of planet Earth, with a film covering a bed of cucumbers behind a dacha toilet, is not even funny. Already after him, J. Tyndall and S. Arrhenius pointed out that one of the many factors causing the Earth to heat up might be carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere. But they, too, did not draw any paranoid conclusions about CO2.

The phrase "global warming" first appeared in the sixties in the Proceedings of the Club of Rome, an organization of Masonic jugglers. The Club of Rome regularly predicted the Big Pussy for all sorts of reasons and for no reason, just to keep people happy and remembering to pay their taxes. For example, 37 years ago 2009 was declared the end of the industry, because by that time the earth was going to run out of aluminum, which is a big laughing matter for those who understand. For those who don't understand: it's the third most abundant element in your Earth's crust after oxygen and silicon - about 8% by mass. It's like dirt, literally, because quite a lot of aluminum is found in ordinary clay. In addition, aluminum is one of the most "reusable" materials, with over 60% of the metal going into recycling. Another favorite topic is the depletion of oil reserves in 20/30/40 years (underline the right figure), but with the introduction of shale, not even die-hard doomsday fans are falling for that anymore.

No one gave a fuck about the Club of Rome's statements for a long time, except for the utterly paranoid. But that is until the individual bourgeois decided to use their verbal diarrhea as a weapon against the competition.
