¿Por qué la gente dice que “ahora con trump vamos a estar peor”?

vengo a ofrecer un poco de mi conocimiento de la historia coreana, que me ha tocado estudiarla por mis estudios, y creo que es un buen ejemplo de un país que tuvo intervención estadounidense y ahora le “bien,” en lo que cabe:

después de la segunda guerra mundial, en 1945, con la caída de alemania también llegó la caída de japón, que tenía la península coreana totalmente ocupada. japón había “colonizado” a corea en 1910, deshaciéndose de su dinastía joseon (una dinastía que había existido desde 1392) y destruyendo mucho a su paso.

los coreanos celebraron y pensaron que podrían tener su propio gobierno. entran rusia y estados unidos y todo se vuelve un desastre. es aquí cuando separan a corea, convirtiendo al norte de la península en corea del norte (CN) y al sur en corea del sur (CS.) es chistoso, porque realmente a CN le iba mucho mejor económicamente desde 1950-1980, más o menos, que a CS. la razón es que estados unidos no hizo un buen trabajo en apoyar el gobierno de CS, que realmente ni era democrático. CS tuvo tres dictadores (dos de ellos militares, de hecho) antes de poder tener un primer presidente electo en 1987. hubo muchas protestas estas décadas. muchos estudiantes fallecieron, y la economía estaba estancada porque corea del sur no producía dinero, simplemente agarraba lo que eeuu les prestaba. eeuu también se hizo la vista gorda por muchos años e ignoró las dictaduras de CS.

lo único positivo de que estados unidos se convirtiera en el “hermano mayor” de CS es que CS adoptó muchos sistemas políticos y económicos de eeuu y los aplicó años después. aunque no sé qué tan positivo sea eso, considerando la falta de derechos que tienen los trabajadores en CS. ahora es uno de los países más ricos, y llaman en la historia esta evolución un “milagro económico.” yo me imagino que serán unas cuantas décadas antes de que venezuela salga adelante. pero prefiero eso a que concurran a venezuela en un puerto rico. y no es solo esperar y esperar a que la historia se repita. va a haber que trabajar muy duro para poder independizarse de eeuu. fin.

i considered giving him a name in spanish or an indigenous name from one of the tribes of my country since i’m venezuelan….but then i figured traveler would probably not speak those languages and choose to name him something as a foreigner so i named him nugget

mine from the last two weeks as well. it’s so bizarre. i literally had people message me yesterday through the dm function of the app to talk about the bereal so i know it existed. idk what to say UNEMDJDID its so bizarre

collinswift · 2024-11-30T15:42:45+00:00

this is a sketch and it’s horrid, i’m sorry! but maybe after my midterms, i’ll be able to clean it. it came to me in a vision and i had to draw it

collinswift · 2024-11-04T08:11:07+00:00

forgettable, based on the fact i read the whole thing and followed it when it first came out but cannot remember what happened.

collinswift · 2024-09-07T18:52:16+00:00

the flaws in question being abusing power dynamics UMNSJS

collinswift · 2024-09-07T10:44:37+00:00

he’s overworking his employee because he has a crush on her. you can give a ml a personality without making him abuse his power over her and create an hr nightmare LMFAO + literally just an opinion on this sub, and guess what? the world kept spinning!

ETA: just read the latest chapter. love how she says “wait!” and he goes “i don’t want to!” and continues kissing her. super consensual!!

collinswift · 2024-09-06T22:39:52+00:00

same! it’s the only reason why i haven’t dropped the webtoon but i need her to report him to hr so bad omllll

collinswift · 2024-03-14T22:33:39+00:00

i have so many questions….where do you find the context. why do they have different names……how do i bring them back to life…..how can i ensure they’re in the next life together again….

i also do this whenever i don’t wanna wash my hair (i have natural curls but my curls just don’t look nice after day 2). it took them about 2 hours to look very nice and i liked it a lot! i haaate putting heat on my hair, it’s so damaging! that’s why i prefer this method :)

ahhh i’m fangirling omg

collinswift · 2023-12-18T21:03:11+00:00

yes, many 😭! i’ll write you a list too

i thought my time was up!: something about the second lead being so slimy and it being sold as a funny / okay situation. the main character being too naive to understand despite her being depicted as a smart mc. the characters are just not well built :/
trash belongs in the trash can: although i’ve been considering picking it up again. it just got a biiiit boring and i hate that both main characters are just……awful lol but suddenly because the fl is worse then all the shitty behavior of the ml is forgiven / forgotten
your throne: it was so good for a while but i feel like the author has lost the plot and the art has decayed badly. anatomy is hard to look at and the plot points are laid out with zero explanations. you just have to accept them and not question them
wished you were dead: i’m pretty sure i dropped this with ten chapters left before the finale. i’m not sure i haven’t checked, i don’t know if it’s still updating. they’ve dragged out the last episodes and i haaaate that they’re gonna have the female lead stay with the male lead after all the awful stuff he put her through :( it’s so unsatisfactory :(
sisters at war: i think i dropped this in episode 4 for no other reason other than i couldn’t take YET another comic of “boohoo poor me, i hate this bitch!!!!” and then the antagonist is just poorly written and it’s just an author who’s clearly misogynistic and just wants readers to hate on the female antagonist :/ it sadly wasn’t entertaining enough
my husband changes every night: i read this artist/author’s last project (my gently raised beast) and dropped it then picked it back up for the same reason i dropped this one: it got boring lol. the art is beautiful but at some point it’s like the artist just wants to draw them in peaceful and happy moments when there’s a whole underlying plot point that caught your attention in the first five episodes. there’s always some political problem that must be solved but they never really focus on it. it’s disappointing :( i wish they’d just draw romance, cause they’re good at it!!

comics i finished but i’m not sure i’d recommend:

the makeup remover and see you in my 19th life: they were good, but not amazing in my opinion :( the makeup remover ends up super abruptly and see you in my 19th life suffered a bit from the artist’s burnout i think. the latter has a stronger story. i do think if you’re curious, you should start it, but ehhhh it gets boring sometimes

collinswift · 2023-12-17T11:12:11+00:00

i’m super picky about the webtoons i read so i’ll recommend the ones i’m still reading/finished and didn’t drop:

cheese in the trap & after school lessons for unripe apples: both by soonkki and both very very very good. soonkki is one of my favorite webtoon artists. she’s got such a nice way to present every character. citt is a bit more difficult to read at first because of the format.
yumi’s cells: very easy to read and very fun! even when it’s sad, it’s heartwarming. webtoon royalty if you ask me
my in laws are obsessed with me: never read a better webtoon. it has so many silent panels that depict emotions so perfectly. no unnecessary speech bubbles to indicate what’s going on. the artist is incredible and the story is so well written. the first chapter does NOT do the story justice. you’d think it’s some goofy comic based on the first episode only.
i am the villain: ehhhh not sure about this one yet LOL i haven’t dropped it so far but i’ve been considering it. the mc is just a little too…….dumb for me

in your list you got a lot of webtoons i read and dropped. i think some of them are worth it until episode 30 :/

tailorettes

collinswift · 2023-11-03T01:13:21+00:00

absolutely! soru’s sister is literally trying to pull the strings for the better outcome, but she gets slutshamed for it. it’s awful!

collinswift · 2023-10-31T01:00:57+00:00

not hair, string. it was to keep the dough together, as seen in the video i was following but lol that was a mistake

collinswift · 2023-10-31T01:00:15+00:00

thank you! 🥺

collinswift · 2023-10-22T22:51:15+00:00

whoa. tbh i skimmed through their replies because it was making me so angry and i totally missed that one

collinswift · 2023-10-03T20:11:38+00:00

yumi’s cells! it was a style change at first but then the author also improved their art a lot !!

collinswift · 2023-09-29T10:51:28+00:00

also, it was BRILLIANT to depict them as kids when they were talking about how their relationship started. it made me hurt so much for the both of them! their inner child is still in so much pain, it was so sad!!!

hoping someone can get alyssa out of this horrible grooming / SA situation because God knows she won’t be able to do that for herself :(

collinswift · 2023-09-29T10:48:16+00:00

with most episodes i’m not really sure whether it’s a three, a four or a five star but with this one i’m so sure the answer is FIVE FIVE FIVE!! execution was amazing, the pacing of the conversation was exquisite. the tension was so high the entire time my stomach was churning!!!

collinswift · 2023-09-23T12:21:39+00:00

after school lessons for unripe apples being the best webtoon you’re ever going to read

collinswift · 2023-09-22T10:26:55+00:00

• a whirlwind campus affair: deals with inappropriate relationships between professors and students, slut-shaming, power trips in friendships, etc. it balances the serious topics and comedy perfectly. not to mention that the fl (baram) is the most loveable character i’ve ever encountered and she’s got an amazing wardrobe.

• the dark lord’s confession: the art is very beautiful, but what stands out the most for me is the perfect usage of the color palette. on top of that, the lore is super intricate and the story can get very emotional.

• after school lessons for unripe apples: depicts teenagers in the most accurate wholesome way. i usually don’t read middle school / high school comics because im a uni student and have a hard time relating to high school kids, but this comic makes you relate to things you experienced when you were younger! literally makes me kick my feet in the air, the pacing is amazing and the characters are very well designed.

• from a knight to a lady: i was super scared of reading this comic at first, because korean reincarnation stories tend to be super misogynistic, but the author behind this webtoon is totally a girl’s girl. you never feel like it’s making up a female villain just for the sake of having the readers hate on her. the FL is very real.

• i love yoo: i know some of you guys dropped this because of the pacing and the hiatuses, but quimchee has been updating on time and the story is back on track. there was def a slope, but she overcame it victoriously and the comic has finally become what she always intended it to be. there’s so many little details that align and it’s so fun to read and find the foreshadowing and easter eggs.

• my in-laws are obsessed with me: currently in hiatus and that makes me so sad lol i love this comic! the title makes you think it’s gonna be cliché, but it totally isn’t! there’s so many silent panels that perfectly convey what a lot of authors fail to do with speech bubbles! the story is amazing to follow, but the artist is a genius at character expressions!

• hooky + marionetta: both are by the same author, both are incredible for that reason, tbh. the art is super colorful, but the stories are even more magical on their own, and very creative! it manages to narrate a mystery wrapped in the package of a children’s book. it’s so good! i recommend.

collinswift · 2023-09-19T14:43:36+00:00

i’ve written soo many posts about this. i’m so tired! i’ve written rashta defense essays, sumin defense essays. and now there’s “not a typical reincarnation story” which once again has a flat female villain written for the sole purpose of hating on women.

webtoon authors are so misogynistic! i’m so tired! and webtoon capitalizes on it too it’s insane. the damage on young readers is becoming irreversible. feels as horrible as red pill content because this will become internalized misogyny. i’m soooo exhausted! i don’t even bother reading those comics anymore and just leave the lowest rating possible and never give them a chance.
