    Those sources boil down to DPRK state media and "some random person online who happens to agree with my POV"

    Always funny how the most vehemently anti-propaganda people are the ones most hungry for their own form of propaganda.

    South Korean dictatorship latested until essentially the late eighties.

    The years that followed were marked by increasing resistance against military rule, exemplified by pivotal moments such as the Gwangju Uprising in May 1980 [~2000 dead and 3,500 wounded]. This tragic event highlighted the extremes of martial law, as the government responded with violent repression against civilian protests. The brutality of the military’s response drew international condemnation and led to widespread activism against authoritarian rule.

    By the late 1980s, public discontent grew considerably, prompting a change in governance. In 1987, after immense pressure from civil society and pro-democracy movements, President Chun Doo-hwan announced the end of martial law,

    Why did you even bother to leave Reddit? They have the echo chamber you seem to want waiting there for you

    I'd rather live in SK (perhaps a rural area? Without too much of the soulless consumerism and asociality...), but overall accurate?

    They're money worshippers and utterly plastic today because they got infected with the Western European/American virus, sadly. Not surprised they're not having babies, it comes with the illness. And you're probably right, but it'll take at least 2 generations and a strong fever to make Korea healthy. And who knows if America, instead of fighting proxy wars everywhere decides to focus solely on China and intensifies its presence in SK? Let's hope every neighbour makes peace and the troublemakers become more and more isolated.
