That should be the populist left line. People hate billionaires and railing against them is immensely popular.

“Washington is no longer a values partner, and the damage it is doing today will echo for years, perhaps generations. The sooner allies—such as Korea—understand this and calculate accordingly, the sooner they can adapt to surviving in a new world of predation.” www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/...

Now they're going after VPNs. Pay attention to what's happening in places like Turkey, India, Russia and China — and how tech companies are complying, or not, with state surveillance. As we've seen in the past month, they'll do the same when prompted here.

The current crisis in South Korea triggered by Yoon Suk Yeol stems not only from simple authoritarianism or Trump-style populism but from his weaponisation of deeply-rooted cold war "pro-North" paranoia. My latest analysis for the Guardian:

Two weeks ago, Artemy fell ill to sudden and severe kidney issues. He fought very hard, and for a time seemed to make a miraculous recovery, but yesterday his condition worsened, and continued to worsen after hospitalization. He passed an hour ago. I’ll always love you, you fat idiot.

Thank you all very much for the kind words and messages, Artemy was more loved than he could have ever known. Streams will be back soon, there’s a lot to cover. Here’s Artemy helping me assemble an end table

I think one of the worst takes floating around the DC blob-o-sphere at the moment is that if Lee Jae-myung becomes president South Korean foreign policy will become "pro-China." Yes, Lee will not be as devoted to the US as Yoon. But there are lots of things to consider. 1/

If I had to explain the current situation in South Korea: imagine if Trump actually believed QAnon and decided to murk Nancy Pelosi because of the adrenochrome lab he believes she has in her basement.

After that speech, it feels like the only thing standing between us and another round of martial law is the military and police’s willingness not to carry out the president’s orders. The PM and PPP leader clearly aren’t in control as they led us to believe. Yoon is still legally in charge.

New disturbing details of Yoon's failed self-coup plot. Along with shuttering the National Assembly and occupying the National Election Commission, Yoon also sought to arrest critical media figure Kim Ou-joon (who I've seen described as a Korean leftist version of Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson)

What I have done or thought about sexually has nothing to do with whether or not I am gay. If anything, I am so comfortable as a heterosexual cisgender man, that I’m willing to do things that would likely threaten a more insecure man’s fragile masculinity.
