1 year agoThere’s roughly a billion people living in the imperial core, enjoying the privilege built off of exploiting the resources and moving the industries to the periphery. Then they call the other seven billion the problem, and tell them to cut their (much lower) standards of living to make up for it. Definitely makes sense, yep.
By “they” do you mean the Japanese, who occupied the country for 45 years? Who were so nice to the natives as to force them into sex slavery, draft into war, and force 80% of the population to change their names to Japanese ones? Or the US, who drew an arbitrary line on a map, and installed the same Japanese back as the ruling class in the south right after the war? And when that sparked military intervention from the northern part of the country, slaughtered 3 million koreans “to protect koreans”? In that case - yep, “they” definitely did commit quite a few assaults of many kinds.
Edit: or by “they” you just meant the soldier and I’m being outraged for no reason. Either way I’ll leave this up.
