Unanimously.
A completely unanimous decision by a legislature who fought their way into the building and defended themselves with fire extinguishers just so they can vote to stop it. You do NOT see that every day. Damn.
What do we gotta do to light that fire under the ass of some of the rest of the world’s politicians?
Martial law?
nah, that’s what they want
holy fucking shit. He seemed to do it out of the blue and I could totally see something like that coming from, ugh, my leader come mid january. there is already a wikipedia page on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_South_Korean_martial_law

That’s just Wikipedia editors. Any time any breaking news happens, a bunch of them rush to be the first to write an article on it.
That’s just how all acute information dissemination works. There is a much worse example of it on 24 hour news networks.
Bless them
We all need to fight fascism globally in any way we can. It doesn’t have to be anything huge. Even if it is only one simple act or word.
It’s always the same people trying to oppress everyone else. You know who they are, and yes, it’s usually the wealthy and the rightwing conservatives. I myself am watching half of my country vote for a literal anti-American Christian Nationalist convicted digital rapist piece of shit. My heart, soul, and love go out to all who just want to be left alone and left to live .
Strength be with the good and decent people of South Korea.

That’s why I support low grade sabotage. In a customer service/support position and could help a customer out to the detriment of the company and perhaps against policy? If you won’t get caught, do it.
Many years ago I was ringing a customer up when he questioned the price of an item. Manager happened to be nearby. Customer said he had even called ahead of time to verify the price. Manager just blatantly days “oh yeah. I think I actually took that call. Sorry about that. Well the price is what it is.” And just walked off. Customer was just dumbfounded. I put the rest of his items in the bag without ringing them up.
You can’t fight fascists with finger waggling or internet complaints, they only understand supersonic 9mm rocks pushed through metal tubes. Otherwise we could have simply asked Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to cut it out with soft words the entire time?
No, you don’t softly complain or wag your finger. We remove those people and set things straight globally. You fight fire with fire. Remove the base of the pyramid until the tip is level with the ground. How many people exist in this world? How many billionaires are there? Oh, they can hire protection? Can they hire that much protection? I’m not at all saying to ask them nicely to stop. We just make them stop.
And how do I know I’m not the bad guy? I want to stop those that are interfering in the good lives of good people.
There were a lot of German patriots who resisted the nazis. And would you know it, the nazis lost that war.
Yes, I know there is more to it, but I’m going to keep trying.
Dictators only have power if people are willing to do what they want.
My girlfriend had tanks outside her house (she lives 3km from the parliament building)
Is it over? I’ve read the military says they will keep enforcing the martial law
Congress vetoed it, President said he wouldn’t end it, latest update is President said he will end it in the morning
The three hour reign of terror has ended.
Stupid reality ruining a good joke.
How’re they supposed to resist fascism without fascism? \s
The military was in on it
This is far from over.
Edit: military is going to ignore vote and will keep goose-stepping. Now they will continue martial law illegally
No wonder Trump wants to purge military figureheads who won’t fall in line
unanimously, but only 190 of 300 showed up to vote. i imagine supporters of his probably stayed home.
and the military is refusing to honor the parliament vote.
It was midnight and they had to physically fight their way into the building. 190 making it in to vote is a strong showing.
I can’t say one way or the other, but I imagine that if you weren’t going to vote then you wouldn’t show up under these circumstances
korean’s be wildin, for no apparent reason huh, just, well, it’s december, martial law time?
Not for any random reason. Yoon is an unpopular autocrat trying to squeeze his grip on power.
