Infamously grindy schooling in EA is even worse in Korea than it is in Japan or was in China before they clamped down. If students don't make it into one of the top unis that's it for their career.

Once people are in their 40's it becomes extremely difficult to get hired and after 55 employers are legally allowed to begin reducing peoples wages. Many seniors don't qualify for pensions and live in poverty.

Hyper shallow K-Pop and extreme rates of plastic surgery suggest a vapid culture. A large portion of the population calls it 'Hell Joseon'

    Just in case anyone is interested this is bad science. Homo Longii is at this point generally agreed to be Denisovan. This, Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens all evolved from Homo Erectus. Denisovan and Neanderthal DNA was introgressed into our gene pool during multiple breeding events where we ultimately won Y & mtDNA fitness competitions. These hypotheses were fine before we had the DNA mapped

    Claims the US is his country

    He claims that 77% of Czechs for example believe the country is worse off under communism.

    The medium article he linked says

    Roughly 28 percent of Czechs say they were better off under the Communist regime, according to a poll conducted by the polling institute SC&C and released Sunday.

    Only 23 percent said they had a better life now.

    From the actual article

    The previous regime was assessed as better by 31 percent of Czechs, while roughly the same proportion, 32 percent, preferred the existing system.

    Even though that's not a good result, it's still vastly different to his view... that it should be reintroduced. It's also from 2011 so is cherry picked as broadly speaking things were rough in the earlier period of transition to democracy.


    Plenty of Americans shit on the USA and it's not just the communists

    9% not at all proud
