Oh, the irony. Even the democratic South Korea will act fascist and won’t allow freedom of speech.
Easy to say when you’re not in a nation sharing a huge border with an actual fascist state that you’re still at war with
The article says the poem is about yearning for a united Korea where Koreans don’t have to pay for education and healthcare and aren’t committing suicide over debts.
Hardly seems worth sending a 68 year old man to jail for over a year.
Damn in the US you can attempt to over throw the govt and stay in congress
Maybe that’s why I struggle to understand why this man was jailed… in my country, 68 year old men make openly seditious statements and they get put into government.
Freedom of speech is when you’re allowed to say things that don’t go against government policy.
