South Korea jails 68-year-old man for poem praising North Korea: Report - tchncs

In totalitarian South Korea…
It’s not the worst for the South. I mean, compared to the Mass Murders that the Yankee regime in collusion with the Fascists committed in the 50s and 60s. This is just touching the surface.

“In North Korea, if you say the wrong thing or speak out, they’ll jail you for 14 months, even if you’re a senior citizen”

“Ms. Park, didn’t they just do that in South Korea?”

“…also every 39 minutes they stab your balls”

“…also every 39 minutes they stab your balls”

So they’re saying that the dude was praising North Korea because he wanted a united Korea that lives under Pyongang’s socialism, claiming that less people would be in debt and there’d be less suicide. Didn’t read the actual poem itself so idk if the dude was praising Kim Jeong Il or if he was just saying how cool it’d be to live under socialism.

I’m not quite sure how Korea is in general outside of “North bad, South good”, but it sort of sounds like South Korea is just practicing censorship here. Does South Korea have freedom of speech?

“North bad, South good”

You should know very well that it's not that simple with any regime the US props up. South Korea has been getting better, but it has a nasty history.

Jesus, I didn’t even know it was that bad. Like I said, I don’t know how Korea is in general outside of “North bad, South good”, so I had no idea South Korea was even a dictatorship at a point.

The US brought someone from the US who was long removed from Korea just to be their local dictator.

The US destroyed most cities in the north and killed more than a million Koreans, mostly civilians. There are a lot of statements from the US generals saying that their objective was to just destroy the whole country and kill as many Koreans as possible indiscriminately.

Had MacArthur had his way, Hiroshima would look like a safe haven compared to Pyongyang. He suggested using nukes "tactically" in North Korea to take out strategic infrastructure like bridges and tunnels. But that’s kind of like bringing a cannon to hunt sparrows. This was the US’ most celebrated general at the time on account of his success in the Pacific Theatre during WW2 and enormous success defending South Korea; what he said could really only be overruled by the President, which is ultimately what happened.
The top brass didn’t care about civilian casualties. That much is obvious when they suggest using full-blown nukes just to take out bridges.
It’s been my experience that there really is no nuance when it comes to any regime the US props up.
