South Korea may foreshadow the West's future - 90% of men in their twenties are anti-feminist and they are going to take over (twitter.com)

I doubt that this 90% figure means much of anything. So much of what was once regarded as, and objectively is, feminist is no longer regarded as such. The label 'feminist' has lost almost all of its content, and most of its content is accepted even by 'conservatives'. The label is dirtied but the referents remain sanitized, and so if they refer to the referents by another name, the voters will remain accepting of them.

Remember, for instance, that it was the South Korean Centre-Right, the People Power Party (the then Saenuri), that gave South Korea its first and only female President, the disastrous Park Geun-hye, whose only reason for being popular was being the daughter of former military ruler Park Chung-hee. Yet this is the party that most of these self-proclaimed anti- or non-feminist men vote for. What does it mean to be anti- or non-feminist when you support a political party that believes that a female president—and one with corrupt friends who she brought into the government and whose corruption later led to her political demise at that—is a good idea?

By contrast, the comparatively Leftist Democratic Party (Minjoo) has yet to field a female Presidential candidate. This reminds one of Britain, where the three female Prime Ministers, Thatcher, May, and Truss, were all Tories whilst Labour has yet to field a female Prime Ministerial candidate. Shifting briefly to race, the only non-white Prime Minister, Sunak, is also a Tory, whilst Labour has yet to field a non-white Prime Ministerial candidate. Thus one observes that the more Leftist and feminist of the two major British political parties is, paradoxically, more White- and male-dominated. The point is that mainstream parties commonly identified by the mass media as Right-Wing or Far-Right are rarely ever what they are drummed up to be. Contra the mass media, the lesbian Weidel is obviously not a new Hitler, for instance.

But South Korea is a particularly strange case, since men in their teens and 20s are Rightward of men in their 30s and 40s, albeit still Leftward of men who are aged 50+.

My suspicion is that the difference between the latter two groups is political-systemic. Men aged 50+ grew up in the Park and Chun military rule eras. Men in their 30s and 40s are only familiar with the post-democratization era (August 1987 onwards). Thus younger South Koreans, unlike older South Koreans, have nothing else to compare their political system to.

But the political-systemic explanation does not work for the former two groups, since both groups were brought up under the current political system. My suspicion is that it is the result of having of one of the world's greatest underfertility crises. If you're a young South Korean, there is a lot of uncertainty. You will probably, not merely possibly, die unmarried and/or childless. So it is indeed an 'incel' generation. It does not seem implausible to me that this could be a potential cause of 'Right-Wing extremism' for men, whereas it bothers women less, for instance, because women are statistically less bothered by such things as the loneliness that is part and parcel of a sufficiently atomized, individualized society.

Either way, I see elections such as the 2022 one, in which both the People Power and Democratic candidates claimed to oppose feminism, as meaningless. The Democratic candidate, Lee, clearly supports feminism, but without calling it such. For instance, he claims that women are still discriminated against and he calls for the further expansion of abortion rights.

My prediction is that the next election—which, because of Yoon's impeachment being finalized today, will now occur this year—will be won by Lee and the Democratic Party, and, once in office, they will go on to further feminism in all but name. Whoever the post-Yoon People Power Party candidate is, that candidate will clearly suffer a greater defeat than usual. Opinion polls of the Yoon presidency were only approving up to the one month mark of his presidency and then became entirely disapproving from that point onwards, and this candidate inherits that mess.

Now Yoon was impeached by the National Assembly, then Han was impeached by the National Assembly, the National Assembly tried but failed to impeach Choi, and then the Constitutional Court reversed Han's impeachment such that Choi was also removed and Han reinstated. In other words, the presidents went from first > second > third > second within a few months. This utterly farcical end of the Yoon presidency demonstrates even clearer than the numerous previous political crises (e.g. the corruption-related impeachment and later suicide of President Roh, and the corruption-related impeachment of Park Geun-hye) that Koreans are clearly incompatible with this liberal democratic political system.

As for my future predictions, it is clear that South Korea will continue moving along on a Leftward trajectory. One obvious reason is that the most Rightward voting bloc is the age 50+ voter bloc. Another obvious reason is that this anomalous age 18-30 male voting bloc is small because of the underfertility crisis. There are just not enough of them to shift the political culture Rightward. So South Korea will keep moving Leftward for at least thirty years. Then it is the turn of the more Leftward age 30-40 voters to start dying off. Thus that Leftward drift will slow down or slightly reverse by the 2060s and 2070s. But by that stage things will have degenerated exponentially: the number of unmixed ethnic Koreans won't even be half of what it currently is, and South Korea will suffer from numerous new problems, in particular, the masses of immigrants that the wretched Democratic Party in particular are already advocating for. It is quite conceivable that the soon-to-be Lee administration will be the one to conclusively open the borders. (Of course, there are already sizeable non-Korean communities in the country, such as the Nepalese.) Lee's position is that he supports immigration but not 'mass' immigration. This will pave the way, serve as a springboard, for future Democratic Party presidents to go one step further and embrace mass immigration.

In short, feminists and/or Leftists do not have much to worry about in South Korea. Things are going the way they want them to go: you disliked Yoon, but he did not last very long, and you will soon have a president that you will find tolerable, a sort of Korean analogue of Biden.

Fast forward far enough in time and ethnic Koreans will no longer exist. Racially, they will be mixed predominantly with Chinese and Indians, with some other groups such as Filipinos, Pakistanis, and even Africans of various kinds also in the woodpile. They will remain predominantly Asian for a very long time to come, however. Whether the Korean language survives in this future 'proposition nation' remains to be seen—it might survive merely to facilitate communication between all of these groups, just as English will probably survive in many countries for the same reason—it is less realistic to expect that everyone in the country embrace Hindi and/or Mandarin and/or the bastardized Spanish and Portuguese of Latin America than it is to expect that newcomers simply embrace English. But little else that is Korean will survive the coming centuries.

You can survive atomic bombs, and you can rebuild in their aftermath; but you cannot survive this contemporary Left-liberal ideology once it has become sufficiently entrenched. Thus it would have been better for Korea if a few atomic bombs were dropped on it and all else was left alone, than to embrace this political culture and these ideologies that inexorably lead whomever follows them to extinction. Even Kim Jong-un made an impassioned plea on television for his people to have more children: indeed, North Korea is arriving at the same destination, but merely by a different path. We in the West are often so preoccupied with our own myriad problems that we are unaware that there are others who have these problems the same or worse than we do.
