South Korea might do what the US failed to do.
So reportedly this guy got caught in a right-wing echo chamber of conspiracy Youtubers. That’s why his coup came so out of nowhere:
Politicians should be banned from youtube.
Or ban youtube, whichever is easier.
As a platform it’s fine. It’s the manipulative media recommendations that are the problem.
And I’m just sure that those Youtubers take his arrest as proof they were right all along.
The response to this, regardless of the person’s station or group identity, needs to be we dont give a fuc, off you go to reeducation (prison). There’s a price for stupidity even if it backfires and you need to pay that price and redeem yourself. Allowing it to fester and spread like a good gentleman is disasterously wrong
And that’s how it’s done, you idiot Americans.
If there’s anything that deserves the death penalty, it seems like attempting to subvert a democracy because some idiot Youtuber channel convinced you might qualify.
I hope they make an example of him.
Declaring martial law is a very serious step. You do not fuck around with it. This man clearly does not understand his responsibilities.
