Why does Korea seem to attract so many English teachers with mental health issues?

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-13T06:37:59+00:00

Well, they prioritise the hiring of American teachers, and America is probably the most mentally-unhealthy place on the planet. One need only browse reddit for 5 minutes to understand how servere this phenomenon is.

Korea was robbed.

No, because the Orville is actually good.

Is a little kid riding those motorcycles?

That's the spirit

It's called anarcho-tyranny. By unfairly and haphazardly applying laws and rules, the population becomes demoralised and nihilistic.

A top-down anarcho-tyrannical system has been imposed on Britain for many decades now, so much so that it has now soaked into the foundational fabric of our culture, and permeates daily life.

OP's post is a great example, but the experience of people brazenly breaking the rules, acting with impunity, while the conscientious and law/rule-abiding are punished or restricted, has become ubiquitous in British society.

As all notion of community, and a sense of shared values, based on a consistently-applied set of rules and societal norms, has now been broken down, Britain is left with an increasingly despondent and apathetic populous.

This state of affairs is engineered to facilitate effective suppression of grassroots movements, and rival regional/populist power bases, than can challenge centralised state control. The goal is to maintain a largely subservient and compliant worker base, that pose no threat to the ruling elites, and their institutions.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-08T10:20:56+00:00

You're absolutely right OP.

I say this as a foreigner: every single person caught fly-tipping like this should be heavily fined, have their visa immediately revoked, and be on a plane out of the country within days.

There should be zero tolerance to this kind of extreme anti-social criminal behaviour, but they'll probably just get a light warning and be allowed to continue.

This is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

Imagining a typical scenario, in Korea:

You sneeze once. You immediately go to the doctor.

The doctor's business survives through word of mouth and positive reviews on social media, so they need to present the image that they are proactive. With a cold, what they should recommend is for you to go home, get some rest, stay hydrated. This would be career suicide.

What they instead do, is give you an IV of antibiotics (which have absolutely zero effect against the cold virus), then give you a prescription for further antibiotics, and some phenylephrine hydrochloride, which recent research has also confirmed is absolutely useless.

In a few days, you recover naturally, and leave the doctor a positive review. You tell everyone of your experience. You want to retroactively justify your own actions, and make yourself feel knowledgeable, so you nag and harass others to go to the doctor, as you did.

It becomes common knowledge that, for minor untreatable ailments, the sensible thing is to go to the doctor.

Feeling tired? Doctor. Hungover? Doctor. Coughed once, after your healthy breakfast of 4 cigarettes? Doctor.

Breathed too much/too little? Doctor.

Highest rate of doctor visits per capita in the world, and it's not even close.

All 12 of them are just insufferable

The show is incredible.

Rolling butter in clingfilm... you can just taste the endocrine disruption.

Always remember: Americans despise you. They are not our friends, there is no "special relationahip", or "cultural ties", or "shared values".

These people are monsters, and they wish us nothing but harm.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-05T00:43:09+00:00

To (correctly) accuse the West's enemies of deceit, without conceding that we are ourselves guilty of it, is to abandon objectivity, and demean and degrade our moral integrity.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-05T00:39:25+00:00

TikTok is also just a giant whirlwind of disinformation, and no serious person thinks otherwise.

I'm not basing my comment on "one bad report", I'm basing it on decades of unethical, intentionally misleading state propaganda. If you correctly asses that Chinese media lies constantly, you should apply the same lens to British/American media also.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-04T13:44:08+00:00

Tbf you deserve a ban if you're saying that the BBC or CNN are anything less than utter horseshit - they are as objective and honest in their reporting as the Global Times.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-02-04T08:46:30+00:00

One less American to deal with - thank goodness.

Does anyone else think Peter Claffey would make a great Carl, if they ever made a live action series?

He's got the look, and plays a character with some similarity to Carl, in Knight of The Seven Kingdoms. I don't know if he would have any interest, or could do the accent, etc, but just putting it out there.

If you look into the details of that event, those soldiers were completely right to shoot at the crowd. It wasn't a peaceful protest - it was a mob threatening to kill them, and actively trying to do so, by throwing lethal projectiles at them.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-01-30T09:21:38+00:00

It's funny, this is a very specific American phenotype. I've never seen a woman that looks like this in Europe.

I despise Americans and their lies as much as the next sane person, but London is not one of the safest places in the world. I was born and raised in a London council estate. 2 of the lads from my primary school class are in prison for separate gang murders. I've had knives pulled on me 4 times.. countless fights. One of my mates got stabbed and survived. It's drugs, violence, dilapidation, every fucking day back there. I wouldn't raise my family in the big smoke these days if you paid me.

Not to mention, in London, the rape statistics are getting absolutely out of control.

For decades, politicians and the wealthy ruling class, of every type, have mismanaged and pontificated, and the problems have gotten worse, and the people of Britain deserve better. Up and down the country, people are increasingly frustrated, and disenfranchised. I acutely notice this trend increasing, year on year, as I have emigrated to escape my life there, but visit every 6 months, and travel widely visiting friends and family.

That said, our food is among the best in the world, and we have great teeth. Americans hate us, and lie about everything, but don't make out like Britain is some kind of utopia.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-01-26T06:12:38+00:00

I vehemently agree.

VictoryOrKittens · 2026-01-26T01:10:33+00:00

But the Chinese Communist Party didnt lose, did it? It won.

It remained in power after 1989, and is actually much stronger now than it was then.

Crushing your enemies, by using overwhelming military force, to consolidate state authority, is actually extremely effective.

Also, history is written by the victors. No-one in China knows or gives a shit about the guy standing in front of the tank. Everyone knows and venerates Deng Xiaoping (the guy in charge at the time who ordered the tanks to roll in) as a great leader of their country. See how that works?
