Oh well, it was worth throwing these people's rights under the bus for an "alliance" with japan for the roaringly successful north-korea policy, right?

"We share values" 🤡🤡🤡

"Since the start of 2022, North Korea has test-fired around 100 missiles, ..."

The guardian, again, unable to connect the dots.. What happened in "early 2022"? Have we forgotten? Or are we going out of our way to avoid explaining the obvious?

South Korean President #YoonSukYeol surprised guests at Wednesday night's #WhiteHouse state dinner by singing a verse of " #AmericanPie." ROC's Representative in the US, Bi-khim Hsiao, admitted that President #TsaiIngWen would likely not be able to replicate such a feat. Despite knowing Tsai for over 20 years, Hsiao revealed she had never heard her sing.

#korea And as a result, #DPRK is embarking on "exponential" build-up of nuclear capabilities.

#US and korea to respond in kind with their own nuclear escalations.

Both countries now on a war footing, as predicted before the elections earlier this year.

Once again, the east-asia security policy experts were right. If anything, they understated their concerns about #YoonSukYeol / #washington policies.

Are we now ready to admit that this isn't working?

#korea President #YoonSukYeol vows to focus on attacking workers rights in New Years speech.

We already know about the plans to attack international labour conventions which allow workers the right to organise, and his proposed reforms aimed at increasing worker insecurity, hours, and reducing pay.

But he also vowed to attack the pension and education systems. Not sure what "reforms" he imagines there but it can't be good...

#YoonSukyeol pushing for unpopular reforms to make the most of his lame duck mandate. 2024 elections will be key. A defeat of the left would be the best boost to rid the party of its toxic leader #LeeJaemyung. New leaders must emerge. #HanDucksoo better positioned on the right.

#Korea

#korea President #YoonSukYeol set to shave 14 years off the sentence of former right-wing president convicted of bribery and embezzlement.

Also former secret-police chief convicted over interfering in elections (also embezzlement, bribery, spying on political opponents,)

A former PM who used the secret police black budget as a slush fund.

Secret policemen who gave suitcases of cash to another former right-wing president.

A rogues gallery of pardons.

#korea #truckers #strike

Yesterday, a delegation from #CandleLightMovement visited the TruckSol (truckers union) camp in front of the National Assembly where they are on the 11th day of their #HungerStrike

Student movement member: "We will fight together so that the workers' struggle will not be lonely!"

TruckSol: "How can I be lonely when you come here like this?"

Solidarity is the key to victory. #YoonSukYeol resignation is not far away!

#촛불행동 #화물연대 #윤석열퇴진

#korea #seoul #CandleLightMovement marches again. This time on Christmas eve!

#YoonSukYeol administration has interfered in fact-finding about itaewon disaster. An incredibly ugly side of them is being revealed day by day.

"An immoral regime that has given up on being human must face the judgement of the Korean people!"

Assemble at the usual place, exit 7/8 of city hall station (lines 1&2) at 4pm. Wrap up warm! There will be hot soup and warm mats for those who want to sit.

#korea prominent anti-feminist (new male solidarity) in korea (youtube channel of 0.5 million subscribers, videos with over a million views) who helped sway election in favour of #YoonSukYeol explains the terrifying spectre of *checks notes* "women who have short hair and don't wear makeup"

He would like the world to know what awaits them if radical feminism proceeds unchecked. Which is what will happen if "brave korean anti-feminists" don't confront it at the source.

#feminism

#korea experiences a wave of online (and offline) mysoginistic abuse.

#YouTube is a key platform for these attacks to take place.

"One video attacking activist Kim was watched hundreds of thousands of times, and garnered thousands of comments, including violent death threats."

Article is old so you should know that the "leading presidential candidate [who would] vilify feminism" is now the president: #YoonSukYeol
