Yes, after it was peaceful, it escalated. Peace was the first option, and then the dictator started murdering people. Pretending “just asking” gets dramatic change is horrible, especially when your own referenced article said it was “terribly one-sided.”

There’s no use talking to someone who supports slaughter of schoolchildren like you.

Gwang-Ju was peaceful, and the government slaughtered them. You keep pretending violence was the first choice, when peace was. Like I said, you have no idea what you’re talking about, and spit on the graves of schoolchildren murdered by Chun Doo-Hwan.

1987 only happened because the years preceding 1987 happened, and you insult the Korean people by lying about their history.

Like I said, you have no concept of time, everything is a static event for you, devoid of context. 1987 wasn’t the first time South Koreans fought against a dictatorship, and had been slaughtered for peaceful protests. Just because eventually the government conceded doesn’t mean it wasn’t paid for in civilian blood.

You have no idea what you’re talking about, and insult the Korean people who gave their lives, and insult the families of those who died.

They had already asked peacefully, and were slaughtered for doing so. The change was a cumulative effort with deep contextual history, and didn’t happen in a vacuum.

You have *no idea" what you’re talking about.

The Gwang-Ju protests were a pro-democracy protest against the dictator Chun Doo-Hwan. You have no idea what you’re talking about and are erasing the very real historical impact of the massacre.

Ah yes, peaceful, if you erase the Gwang-ju Massacre and other atrocities committed by “The Butcher” Chun Doo-Hwan.

The rights enjoyed by South Koreans were fought for with the blood of workers and students spilled by their own government and Capitalists. Don’t erase them.

No, I’m not. I am saying you are taking an abstract, idealist analysis that misses real historical motivations.

No, slavery was abolished because of technological progress and changes in Mode of Production. I’m thinking in a Historical Materialist perspective, there wasn’t a random beaming of empathy in humanity.

Lots of history proves that humans behaved differently based on the economic system in place. Why do you believe slavery has largely been abolished? Did humans suddenly change their minds about it?

Humans change quite a bit depending on Mode of Production, which shapes culture and norms.

War is a necessity as long as Imperialism remains the dominant contradiction in the world, we need to move beyond Capitalism to move beyond war.

Good news. Hopefully the bloodshed can be ended as soon as possible.

Sure! Are there any that interest you? There are many genres and types.

To the surprise of 0 Leftists, Capitalism is incapable of solving the Climate Crisis.

We have trackable proof of market shifts, I’m not sure what you mean here. The RF’s economic conditions aren’t wonderland, but the war-time economy and increased focus on domestic production means the sanctions backfired a bit, and pushed Russia towards China instead. This is reflected in the market shift.

Or, you can block Lemmy.ml from your side using your blocklist, the majority of dbzer0 users seem to be okay with Lemmy.ml and thus want to stay federated. Lemmy.ml has no reason to defed either.

What kind of instance do you want, exactly?

Depends on what branch of Philosophy you follow.

What?
