Koreans showing how to democracy

[–] SoJB@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The entire history of the Republic of Korea from 1945 to 2025 suggests otherwise. The US propaganda is strong, I see.

Just the case of a leader trying insurrection and holding them accountable. You know, like the US failed to do...

Recognizing the ROK's past dictatorship doesn't mean pretending they aren't more democratic than the US. It isn't black-and-white.
