    Shit’s definitely going down in South Korea, but I don’t browse South Korean news frequently enough to be able to ascertain how fucked the situation is. It is, at least, 6/10 from my untrained eye. The leader of their country is using the military and police to prevent their equivalent to senators from voting

      According to a professor I had in college, this isn’t abnormal for South Korea. He fondly recollected his time spent rioting, and when he first learned how to make molotovs.

        Apparently their politicians are all part of a small subset of people with close, personal connections and the Korean people have been pissed off about it for decades. And every leader of the last 40 years has been prosecuted, jailed, or killed themselves. Except one fella

      Looked like a 9/10 there for a while but now it’s at the very least down to a 7.
