Lula did not betray his supporters. The reversal in the second round of voting was thanks to the consolidation of his base. The loss in the first round served as a good inoculation.

God has not abandoned humanity yet. The mire of Lee Jae-myung (이재명) and the resurrection of Oh Se-mul is evidence that God has not yet abandoned the Democratic Party. If Lula had won the primary, Bolsonaro would have reversed the outcome in the final round. We still have three years left to prepare.

Lee Jae-myung (이재명) divided South Korea into people who play golf and people who cannot play golf. He split South Korea in two with a single stroke. Politicians, of course, should do things that every citizen can do. There is a reason why Park Chung-hee (박정희) hid his Chivas Regal and did makgeolli shows.

The reason the Japanese economy fell to sixth place in the world is because of state-controlled economics. To protect their domestic market, they gave up the export market. They cut workers' wages to save zombie companies. If zombie companies die, the banks that lent to them as directed by the government die, and if the banks die, the government dies too. They chose a path for everyone to live together, but it turned out to be a path for everyone to die together. The way for Japan to survive is: 1. Market opening. 2. Hiring foreign workers. 3. Expelling zombie companies. 4. Raising wages. 5. Supporting startups. The fall of Japan is also due to geopolitical reasons, like the fall of Britain. In the age of navigation, islands were key points in transportation, but in the age of aviation, the geopolitical advantage of island nations disappeared. Feudal remnants are also significant. France's crisis is because its large corporations are hereditary families, so they only do things like cosmetics, clothing, and accessories and did not undertake large projects like in the De Gaulle era. They have become petty. Feudal nobles were originally petty. Maintaining the family is more important than expanding the company.

Clinton was elected at the end of 1992, Japan surpassed the US in per capita GDP from 1993 to 1995. As a result of Clinton cracking down on Japan, Korea was hit as collateral damage in the 1997 IMF crisis. A truth not well known to Koreans. When the Japanese economy surpassed that of the US, the US stabbed Japan with a knife, but it was Korea, with its weaker resilience, that bled. The US took aim at Japan’s state-controlled economy, where the government controlled banks. Japan also took a significant blow at the time. International relations are cold-hearted.

I feel fear toward the many sycophantic comments on Lee Jae-myung's (이재명) Facebook. Someone should try posting a comment saying "Long live the Republic of Flattery." I am too scared to do it.

Playing golf with contractors, winning government construction bids, changing designs after construction starts, putting an umbrella in the subway door as it closes, plotting a structural majority after a presidential win—these are all tricks that have been handed down. Since there are still many such techniques that haven’t yet been used, this state of deadlock will last a long time.
