    The only reason it worked is because the Millitary backed off after Parliament overturned it, despite the Millitary blocking access to the building from Parliamentarians. The Millitary isn’t bound by some electoral laws of the universe, they just as easily could have said the vote was illigetimate. This is a unique circumstance and cannot be used as universal.

      Well I mean they are bound by laws, to the extent that laws have meaning. And responding to legal instruction would seem to validate the force and efficacy of the legal system, right?

        Yes and no. Being bound by “legal” means is a pretense for civility, ie the social contract, but the millitary in no way must follow this. The Republic of Korea has had several millitary dictatorships, from Park Chung-hee to Chun Doo-Hwan, and to think any system is immune to such circumstances is false thinking.

    Americans love fasicsm. That’s why we voted for it. Despite the copious amount of warnings we received from the proto-fascist’s ex-associates and top military personnel, not to mention unbelievably blatant examples from the proto-fascist himself.

    Maybe we can have Nazi rallies at Madison Square Garden like we did in the 30s. We came pretty close a couple months ago.

    “Rest of the world”

    In my limited knowledge, that only recently applies to Brazil. For South Korea, it’s too early to know for sure how stuff will develop.

    The people didn’t hold President Yoon accountable. Parliament did.

    We have the same system in the US. Congress holds the US President accountable the same way Parliament held Yoon accountable, with a vote.

    The problem is that we voted in a fuckton of Trump loyalists as a nation, and it’ll be up to them to hold him accountable. We’ll get what we asked for.

    It’s not even about being underfunded. It’s about forcing all students into public school when they aren’t all on the same level when it comes to intelligence or capability to learn, much less their home support system.

    The schools that spend the least per student have the best scores

    The European retards say things like this as though they themselves haven’t swung far right lately. Pot meet kettle.

    This is just typical America bad copium by the Europoors and internalized hate by American Euroboos.
