The media was calling this guy's election "the incel election", so I'd say he's the good guy in this story. Shutting down feminist parties is something more countries should be doing. I hope Orange Man is taking notes...
Feminism is the undisputed king of all death cults. Nothing destroys a nation faster than total collapse of the birth rate, and nothing accomplishes this faster than feminism. There’s simply no reality in which young women are empowered and encouraged to spend their most fertile years not having children without the birth rate immediately plummeting.
The selfish, myopic decadence of unconstrained women is basically the polar opposite of “planting a tree knowing you will never sit in its shade”. Feminist women cash out your society’s surplus value and productivity, which should be utilized for advancement, in order to fund their own hedonism. The female inclination towards personal “power and freedom” is warped by their solipsism into a civilization-destroying force.
Great post
I don't know if it is the "undisputed king" but I agree that is is yet another death cult. Also, it seeks to subvert God's natural order for human sexuality and it has occult roots and connections to witchcraft and paganism. There's a reason why women have been historically kept under control in different times, societies and cultures. It's not because men can't value their respective role in society or their human dignity.
Just in terms of tanking the birth rate I think Feminism has the biggest overall effect. If you check Britain, America, Japan, etc, all of the major declines in birthrate coincide with contraceptives, abortion, women in the workplace, etc.
feminism is just a brand of communism.
that's how communists work by diversifying their fuckery so it never gets identified directly.
it's just communism, donnie.
Very well said. Nailed it.
Johnny Somali destroys another country
Is there a scenario where this could lead to Johnny Somali being summarily executed?
I don't trust the media on this.
How much of this is a coup, versus a counter-coup?
They tried to negotiate concessions over the budget.
Did they try to negotiate, or did they do some sort of "sit-in" protest?
So... how much of what he said is actually real, and not the excuse of a tyrant? I don't keep up with Korean politics, but I've seen almost as much reason to distrust South Korean politicians as Kim himself.
Ironically from this, I can actually see the NORTH Koreans going 'Get Trump on the phone, get Trump on the phone!' as the South is VERY militarily advanced compared to the North so would rather have a deal with the Trump presidency in place than risk a possible conflict with an authoritarian south.
Advanced isn't especially relevant in a fight at those ranges. The Norks make more shells than most of the rest of the world combined. Enough to comfortably sell their surplus to the Russians.
Given that South Korea is the THIRD largest supplier of weapons to NATO (far behind the US but just behind France) they actually do have a solid manufacturing base in place.
Plus they tend to place factories inside client countries so tanks, weapons etc can be made there but also means if THEIR manufacturing is hit in a war with the North, they can have a bunch of equipment that is to spec sent to them from safe areas.
I didn't say they didn't.
I said they don't match up to their old enemy. I also implied that they're a highly feminized and pampered society that isn't genuinely able to endure the hardships of war.
In that way they're a lot like Europe. Fat and drunk on peace.
Actually they're in a much worse state than Europe. Because if as you say their manufacturing base is elsewhere, then they're utterly doomed. Because the Chinese won't sit idly by if a fight breaks out. They'll declare a sea blockade for arms embargo and sit there and dare the US to do something about it.
And we won't. Because if the shit kicking Houthis drove off our navy then we certainly aren't in a position to contest the chinks for control of an area in their backyard.
Yeah, problem is that's working off the CURRENT paradigm, that only lasts another one and a half months.
Notice how China changed tone with Trump announced back in as president and you seem to be working off the NORTH attacking first since if the South just straight up bombs the hell out of a lot of stuff stationed on the border that might tilt things a bit. The South has a ton of manufacturing at home but additionally have manufacturing outside their country too so you can't shut it all down.
Personal take, a lot of these regimes like North Korea and some extent Russia and China prefer stability and if North Korea can do a deal with Trump to make sure they stay in charge but not a target, they'll take it given the constant food issues they have.
And judging by North Korean soldiers in Ukraine, they're not exactly commandos...
I'm not working off any such thing.
I'm entertaining possibilities in the face of shifting current events. The world stands on the brink of a new world war, after all. Sizing up the players is hardly a bad idea.
And the various parties and vassal states of clown world aren't looking good.
Personally I'd say that what's going on right now in SK is a preemptive strike against a color revolution. But it's still developing events.
Well, the situation we're talking about is unfolding right now, and coups tend to move fast one way or another. What other paradigm would be relevant?
If the past few years have taught me anything, it's that advanced weaponry counts for less than people think. Just because the US can crush the Iraqi army like a bug, doesn't mean that technology will make the decisive difference between two sides where one doesn't outmatch the other by several orders of magnitude.
Sort of like World War I: if you have warm bodies to throw into the fight, and they don't desert like the Russians did, you can get very far.
So then as usual you didn't learn anything and you still think you get to talk about military matters from an armchair.
Technological parity or lack thereof is critically important, but neglecting manufacturing capability and the moral and physical fitness of the citizenry for it is a trap. One that the United States fell into at the behest of foreign interests and internal corruption.
Warfare is, among other things, a balancing act between force multipliers.
The other thing is that technology doesn't often mean what we think it does, like nerdy wonder weapons. The real tech advantage is the ability to create new things and adapt (or having already done so).
Like in the WWII Pacific we had no chance of getting close enough to Japan to even drop the nukes without the Proximity Fuse, which was a relatively low tech radar that exploded shells near targets so they didn't have to actually direct hit. Not a single kamikaze got through after we had those shells and then we controlled the sea.
Not exactly a chair, but sort of.
All the 'modernization' didn't help Russia. All the Wonder Weapons didn't help Ukraine. Now it's the same old grind.
Your last paragraph exposed even more ignorance than I'd thought.
Particularly given the rapid rise in drone warfare in the current conflict.
Probably the only example you could give. And drones are not that high-tech. That is why they're effective: they can be produced cheaply and in bulk by even countries like Ukraine and Iran.
My point is that it's not $22 billion stealth bombers making the difference. I'm sure you can pass on your usual "you're wrong about EVERYTHING" and admit that's it's correct once.
No I can give several more.
Hypersonic missiles for example, or improved local signals jamming, or IP isolated ISR. Or the decentralized, junior officer oriented command scheme the Russians have developed out of thin air.
But I can name and consider those things because I'm not talking out my ass.
Have not been deployed in the conflict as yet, but Iskandar class missiles have to great effect with essentially the same doctrinal strike patterns.
Stop talking from ignorance. It doesn't matter if you are correct about one particular detail or not, your overall picture is invariably and completely flawed.
I can follow your thought process, but it's a faulty process. Any reasonable person knew the Ukrainian wunderwaffen were never going to be decisive.
I suppose, but Seoul has long since been within the range of NK artillery for decades.
It's more hedging bets:
Better to start talking with soon President Trump to get deals in motion so that whatever is happening in the south stays contained in the south.
I’ve never been able to understand the governing structures of seemingly every other “democratic” government in the world aside from the US. I couldn’t imagine the president just telling the military to kick out the opposition party and arrest them because they were slowing down legislature.
A few years ago some republican state legislators fled Oregon to prevent a quorum for some vote, and the governor was either threatening to send or sent State police to round them up.
Ultimately that scenario also used threat of State violence and "arrest" to force an unfavorable legislative outcome.
Though admittedly in the West we aren't so brazen as to use the military for such ends. Instead we'll just threaten to release the footage from the coke orgies that Madison Crawford talked about shortly before the Republican party "coincidentally" pulled all funding and support from his re-election campaign.
I'm surprised that they obeyed orders. In fact, some people are speculating that this coup is actually driven by the military rather than by the president, which would make more sense.
France faced an abortive coup in the early 1960s due to French politicians betraying French Algeria, which De Gaulle used to make himself president . He then turned his back on French Algeria anyway.
The current administration was doing it through the Deep State.
Every homo redditor is spamming the news as an excuse to say "trump will do that here"
They keep leaving out the most important thing about the ones trying to get in to the parliament....
THEY HAVE GUNS.
I haven't seen any serious stories or articles trying to explain what the current president's motivation is, which leads me to believe he's probably the good guy in this scenario.
more info is needed, he seems to not have the majority in parliament
Aaaaand it's over. Nothing Ever Happens.
I am glad the Japs hate Koreans. Feminism and retarded woke western ideals have taken hold of SK for a while now.
Just watch any Samsung ad. Promoting coalburning to Asians and Whites alike.
