Right, the South Korean government does actually appreciate existing I'd imagine
Yes i imagine the compradores/chaebols are very happy with that arrangement. The 99% of the people, eh not so much.
You think 99% of South Koreans would have preferred living under a dictatorship? That's a dumb take
bruh they live under a dictatorship 😂
A demonstrably false claim.
And if you're talking about their current president's attempts those were defeated fairly quickly through parliamentary vote. It actually demonstrates their democracy's resiliency.
Democracy is when you live in the country with the highest suicide rate in the world and a corporate dystopia where union or communist organising is illegal.
The approval rating for the government, like all liberal "democracies" (none of them are democracies) is 36%. I could guess that it was lower than 50% before goggling it because it's almost like a law of liberal democracy. The people don't actually have any control over policy (which is always controlled by oligarchs in countries with parliaments). Once the election hype dies down, being betrayed becomes inevitable.
