South Korea declares martial law

Nonbinaryandroid · 2024-12-04T00:04:50+00:00

South Korea has long had a, let's call it a chaotic political climate. Lots of corruption.

In the west you're going to be getting most of the news through a propagandistic lense. South is the US ally and a stable healthy democracy, North is a Communist shithole, true to some extent but like anything a gross oversimplification.

Since North and South Koreans are all Koreans it's not enough to say that communism is the only reason why North Korea is an insane dystopia. Other communist countries around the world have similar problems but are nowhere near North Korea. Likewise South Korea being capitalist isn't enough to describe its problems since other capitalist countries have similar problems but not quite to the same extent.

What North and South Korea do share are the same cultural roots. So it's not surprising that the political situations in both countries are dysfunctional. They share the same root culture.

There was a time not so long ago that South Korea was an impoverished dictatorship and the North was seen as an attractive destination for defection. That situatuon has changed a lot as capitalism did allow for Korea to have it's economic miracle leaving the North behind especially after the collapse of the Soviet union. However the political situatuon in South Korea has always been quite chaotic and you don't get much of it in the western news cycle, usually Korea only pops up when the North does something stupid.

At the moment it appears that the current president was going to be impeached and jailed for a reason I don't fully understand, and that he tried to declare martial law to prevent that procedure and pull off a de facto coup. It seems at the moment this strategy has failed spectacularly.

It is safe to assume both countries have spies in the other and some degree of "infiltration" if it can be called that but I don't think it is significant. I think the president is likely using that to call upon the fear of the North to rally supporters.

I've become more racist as I've gotten older and learned more about Korea as I'm convinced their culture North or South tends to produce a lot of crazy. Generally nice people most of the time, good food, interesting history, but their societies are fucked.

The kind of extreme soft & sensitive language required whenever talking around gender specials frequently reminds me of class critiques which, even by the time I was in college, were pretty soft. There were stories of older instructors throwing bad work out windows and making students cry, but that pretty much ended by our day. The good/poor quality argument in the arts was lost decades ago in a similar manner to how the sex binary was blurred.

Nonbinaryandroid · 2024-12-03T23:33:02+00:00

I think generally what happens is that creative types are more tolerant of certain kinds of weirdness than the rest of the planet. Especially in college. The problems come about when you get these fully disconnected from reality coupled with the unfortunate tendency of many creative types to be unable to handle criticism constructively.

I've made the argument a few times in groups that I've been in that while I personally don't really give a rats ass if you want to come into work dressed like a drag queen, and in fact honestly I appreciate the entertainment, it gives off an air of unprofessionalism that will be viewed negatively in most public facing rolls. Yes the verbal criticism you are getting is mostly coming from people who are "triggered" and bigoted to some degree but the damning problem isn't them it's the people that see it and are smart enough not to say anything just writing us off entirely, opportunities are lost. I might get shit on for mentioning this, but I'm not making the rules by which society operates I just understand that if you want to break them you have to accept the consequences.

Basically I think a loud minority just ends up controlling the social dynamic. In any situation it seems the most intolerant and loudest voices set the standards. Be that progressive or regressive. It's why people cringe at thought of Mohammed cartoons. Enough intolerant people out there willing to behead you over it. Why you don't say "hmm maybe having gay characters in this kid show isn't a good idea" enough crazies to brand you as a biggot and destroy your career convinces most to stay silent.

It's the "wrong side of history" argument. Yeah you say I'm on the wrong side of history but history isn't here yet. History is written by the victors. Trump one again does that mean he is on the right side of history.

It just seems obvious to me that if you are trying to market something, making a marketing campaign that targets some wildly small demographic at the risk of alienating your core market with some culture war bullshit is a losing proposition. It was the same with the Disney gay stuff. It doesn't matter if it's mostly tame and not controversial to you and your circle. You publish it, you lose loads of your potential market. And damage the brand. It's nothing new either seems nobody remembers the decades long boycott of Disney from the Baptists.

Everything I said is from Wikipedia or memory. I've been watching this proxy war since the very obvious coup of a fake color-revolution back in 2014. I remember the sketchy foreign snipers that were employed to shoot both sides for show. I remember in 2015 and the following few years, both sides breaking the peace agreements that the whole world was urging on West versus East Ukraine. I remember the reports on the news about their war's risk to the water table in the area, due to the cold war nuclear waste being put in jeopardy. I remember many new reports, documentaries, and humanitarian efforts due to the mines.

You want a minimum wage even if you make above that mark. With out it you start a race to the bottom and in the end it will drag down the wages of everyone. There will always be some moron willing to do the work for .10c less and another after him and another after him.

Minimum wage should be tied to inflation lagging a year behind.

New Study Urges Immediate Halt to COVID-19 mRNA Injections Over Alarming Levels of DNA Contamination

Researchers find DNA contamination in COVID-19 mRNA injections exceeding regulatory limits by over 300%, confirming findings from earlier studies by Kevin McKernan, Phillip Buckhaults, Brigitte König, David Speicher, and Didier Raoult.

Calls for an immediate global moratorium on COVID-19 mRNA injections continue to intensify. Today, Kammerer et al published the study titled, BioNTech RNA-Based COVID-19 Injections Contain Large Amounts Of Residual DNA Including An SV40 Promoter/Enhancer Sequence, in the journal Science, Public Health Policy and the Law.

(At least in her mind) She also shakes a bit too as she is trying to metal strangle her co-host or at least the words coming from her co-host.

Consider the ethical impacts of quantum technologies in defence — before it’s too late (PDF) Physics, as history taught us, can be dangerous. As quantum technology continues to progress (slowly), researchers and governments across the world are worried that it will be used for evil purposes. Why? And should we really be worried about quantum tech? The article advocates for an "anticipatory ethical governance approach" that includes six key principles: developing risk categorization models, countering authoritarian and unjust uses, ensuring justified and balanced securitization, fostering multilateral collaboration and oversight, prioritizing information security, and promoting societal benefits.

All right, so that some academics with new hobby ideas are fishing for DOD funding, got it... Or how else we should interpret the articles like this one? Just consider the ability to enforce such a consideration by parties well motivated into quantum technologies. See also:

Please listen before you do something, I don't want any sanctions against DAR, in fact, if there are any, I want them to be removed, but I still want my ban to be lifted. I think debatealtright has potential to become a decent counter-intelligence site but people over there need some serious guidance and the whole thing is pointless if I'm isolated from the group or if DAR remains isolated as well, we can think of something if they cross lines but DAR needs exposure regardless. I'll add that we need new mods, with site wide powers over here as well. Span has gotten really bad so I offer myself for the position but overall we need a whole new team as well. I think Saidit is being affected badly so I can't stand still while all of this happens.

I just purchased another backup power station the other day. It has 3 times as much inverter capacity as the one I bought three years ago does, for the same price as the old one. THREE times. Meanwhile the graphics card industry would rather sell 8/12 GB graphics cards forever. RTX3060 is almost 5 years old. It's almost like they all have a gentlemen's agreement to not put a reasonable amount of memory on these things and to not actually compete with each other or something. Remember that GPUs are used for much more than gaming today, and for many other tasks, memory capacity is crucially important.

I still laugh at NVidia reducing the RTX4060 to 8GB, when the RTX3060 was 12GB. You could send that shit to a third-world country and they would laugh at you and send it right back, telling you to keep your garbage.

Experts say Jawlani not only distanced itself from al-Qaida but, having been targeted by Islamic State from early in the civil war, fought hard against its brutal rivals. Over the following years, Jawlani’s fighters sought, with limited success, to win the acquiescence of local communities by providing basic administration and security, rather than simply through fear. In 2021, Jawlani’s efforts to rebrand HTS culminated in an interview with US public broadcasters – though the $10m (£7.9m) reward for information leading to his arrest by US authorities remains.

This strategy led to a fierce debate among analysts. Though the US and Russia, Turkey and other states designate HTS as a terrorist group, some analysts have considered it as breaking with the extreme violence and fanaticism of many previous groups.

They point out that its aims are explicitly local, stripped of any broader vision of a much wider war against the west or Middle Eastern rulers that characterised Islamic State, and that the group has enforced Islamic codes of behaviour less strictly than many expected, recently withdrawing “morality police” from the streets after public protests.

Other experts are convinced that the group’s core thinking remains faithful to the main principles of extremist Islamist ideologies, even if its day-to-day behaviour and tactics are different. They point to thousands of arbitrary detentions in areas under its control and say any idea that HTS is a new and pragmatic form of Islamic militancy is entirely misguided.
