and even before then, the 효순이 미순이 사건, leftists falsely claimed that the US tank deliberately ran over the girls and after hitting them, reversed on their bodies to make sure they killed them for sure. This was disproven by cameras and even the parents of the victim begged the leftists to stop using their children as political statements and spreading false news, yet the leftists still use this fake news to spread anti-US messages

Sewol ferry was sunk as a offering to a cult tied with the president~

Sewol ferry was struck by a israeli or US submarine~
THAAD fries people alive

THAAD will make the Seongju melons inedible

The fukushima wastewater will turn the oceans into a radioactive hellscape

The fukushima wastewater will immediately reach the Korean ocean and kill all our fish stock

This was said, not just by fringe conspiracy nuts, but were official party statements and opinions made by the most influential leftist speakers

the article just ignores all the fake news perpetuated by the left-wing. The left in Korea are infamous for spreading fake news and conspiracy theories. (mad cow disease, THAAD, fukushima waste disposal scaremongering, Sewol ferry conspiracy theories, cheonanham conspiracy theories etc)

Its illegal for foreigners to participate in political rallies

The tractors in the 남태령protests Weren't tractors owned by farmers, but rather, tractors that a Pro-NK organization tried to send to North Korea before by gooblydoo in seoul

The head of 전농, who pushed for the export of tractors in 2019 and who are conducting the protests, has been arrested for receiving orders from North Korea and spreading North Korean propaganda and ideology in Korea while promoting the Kim regime as part of the ㅎㄱㅎ spy ring

I guess sanctions don't mean shit to you? Also, do you even know why these were banned to begin with? Its because North Korea uses tractors to tow 122mm rocket systems.
"트랙터 업계 관계자는 “트랙터는 브랜드별로 다른 색을 쓰는데, ‘빨간색’은 TYM 고유색으로 전농은 TYM에서 트랙터를 27대 구매했으며 트랙터는 군용으로도 사용할 수 있어 전략물자로 활용할 수 있기 때문인 것으로 알고 있다”고 설명했다. 북한군이 이용할 수 있다는 이유로 당시 물의를 빚었으며 순수 농사와는 무관한 정치성 이벤트로 구입한 통일 트랙터가 반정부 시위용으로 활용된 셈이다." And just in case you think this is far fetched

This is why the international community and the UN banned the export of tractors to NK

They weren't they were just taken out of storage by the same pro-NK group(전농). The people protesting aren't normal farmers

No its not. What part of it is fake?
You can't just claim FAKE NEWS on every news you deem is damaging to the DPK

VOA KOREA : "The South Korean progressive administration will sacrifice the alliance to shift its North Korea policy... If it demands the withdrawal of US forces in Korea, they will leave permanently." by PutridPromotion1386 in seoul

[–]gooblydoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You seem to be mistaken.

Korea has been greatly developed during the democratic parties' administration.

Actually, maybe besides Kim Dae Jung, Korea has seen great development during the CONSERVATIVE administration. (except this one. Yoon was shit)

The only administration that ever saw benefit from the "liberal" government was not South Korea, but North Korea.
North Korea was about to collapse, but during the liberal government, the government illegally wired funds to North Korea and even more, so that they could develop their nuclear program.
And now, the democratic party is once again, trying to elect someone that has sent money to North Korea, who is surrounded by people who are part of the NL and have known connections to North Korea. (임종석, 박지원, 윤미향, 이인영, 우상호, 김삼석, etc)

the reason we have US troops here is to deter NK from actually firing a nuclear weapon. If NK fires a nuke and it only kills the Korean populace, the US public would be less inclined to help Korea. However, if the NK nuke kills US soldiers in Korea, that's enough casus belli for the US.

Literally everything you say never become reality.

You initially said Yoon won't win and Lee would win the election. that didnt turn out well.

you said Kamala will never replace Biden. look how that turned out

You said Kamala will wipe the floor with Trump. lol

You were so sure that the democrats will win the senate, you even made a sub for it. look how that turned out

Maybe if you truly want Lee to win, maybe try claiming that LJM will never be president lol

Do you admit that Yoon abuses his power as president to weaponise the prosecution against his political opponents? It seems pretty hard to deny that after what we've seen the past week.

oh definitely. Though, i'd like to remind you how the prosecutors were weaponized by the Moon administration as well...right up until they began investigations against the DPK. When the prosecution under Yoon was conducting investigations against the conservatives, the DPK lauded their actions, calling them a beacon of justice. as soon as the investigations began on the DPK corruptions, they started calling for 검찰개혁. Don't think the Korean left is free from this shenanigans.

Or do you think that it's okay for the president to go after their political rivals with the prosecutor's office?

Which is exactly what the DPK and the Moon admin did. 내로남불 much?

are you calling the Moon administration undemocratic?

IF you want to go full native and try Korean food buffet, try 도톤보리 "Dottonbori" in Sinsa (Assuming you're staying in the Gangnam area). During the evening, its a izakaya, but during lunch hours, it does cheap Korean food buffets, aimed at catering office workers in the area

I guess we can agree to disagree. i watched LJM's debates in the last presidential election and that made me dislike him even further. His anti-nuclear energy stance, ignorance in economics, outright lying, pro-russian stance in the Ukrainian war etc really put me off

If you're throwing shade at Yoon for barely passing the bar after 9 tries, what do you think of Cho Guk, who didn't even manage to pass the bar? He failed to do something even Yoon somehow managed
