This is what the American "left" unironically believes

This is something that has always made me question the American "left." It's this pro-veteran mindset that veterans were just "poor little victims who were propagandized into joining 🥺." Like, I fucking hate this. Would you redeem a former SS officer? No you wouldn't. Would you redeem a former IDF soldier? No you wouldn't. Why on Earth would an American veteran be any different?

As a European, I'm just tired of seeing American DemSocs, Anarchists, MLs even try to redeem veterans because mUh We NeEd ThEm FoR rEvOlUtIoN!

Anti-communist Koreans can't accept the fact that people can turn socialist

Basically it's a looser conservative oriented Korean version of wikipedia, one of the articles being about "what if the EVIL see see pee invades our nation" or some shit.

It translates to this:

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army also brainwashes prisoners of war. Of course, this brainwashing is not carried out through drugs or torture. Instead, they seize control over supplies and, if prisoners do not write a “statement of ideological conversion,” they give them only small amounts of food or fuel, or have them marry women from their own country and settle down there, thereby making them brainwash themselves voluntarily. Those who are skeptical that a mere piece of paper can cause brainwashing should look at the anecdote in the cognitive dissonance article about how the Chinese Communist forces brainwashed American soldiers during the Korean War. That shows just how severe it was: the American soldiers captured by them continued to act as communists or socialists even after being discharged.

Mfs when they realize they can't coerce socialists back into capitalism lmao

South Korean society is slowly backsliding into fascism.

FYI in the 18th of May 1980, the new Korean military junta led by 전두환 brutally crushed democratic resistance in Gwanju.

Far-right(read conservatives) people usually make fun of all the civilians and protesters that died that day, glorifying that authoritarian and dictatorial American lapdog.

Now a corporation with a controversial CEO has joined this mockery.

Ever since Yoon's coup, the younger generation of S.Korea went from being a quiet conservative into openly embracing fascist and anti-democratic values, breaking down courts and enacting hate crimes against women, the disabled, LGBTQ, and Chinese people, just to name a few.
