    Where does the thumbnail come from? I wouldn’t have chosen WW2 martial law Japan to represent authoritarianism but ok. I feel there are plenty more modern examples.

        Fun Fact: he was such a fascist he got assassinated by the Korean CIA with American CIA help!

        Do you know how fucking fascist you have to be that two CIAs want to kill you??

        Well, not very. Park was distancing Korea from American dominance so obviously he had to go.
