  Progressives. If I earn more, that's enough. 

  Conservatives. If you die, that's enough.

 Are you saying nonsense like 'whether left or right, we must beware of extremes' because you don't realize that FM Korea is extreme?

  ###

  France's Marine Le Pen, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, and Germany's Alice Weidel—these three far-right women are shaking up the scene.

  Men - when there is a problem, they gather forces. 

  Women - when there is a problem, they single someone out. 

  Empress Lü (유방) - gathers a clique. 

  Empress Dowager (여후) - kills the meritorious subjects one by one. 

  Men are more likely to form a power base by meeting people, so they do not single people out. Lee Jae-myung (이재명) does. 

  ###

  Mark Zuckerberg, Yuval Harari, Benjamin Netanyahu, Adam Sandler, Zelenskyy—they all have prominent foreheads, chunky heads, and curly hair, and look similar. Am I the only one who sees the pattern? Choi Sang-mok's head is Chunko but doesn't quite make the cut.

  "Lee Jae-myung does it." Trump only bluffs, but Lee Jae-myung retaliates politically. That's why his approval rating drops. When weak, he bows down; when strong, he crushes. When ambiguous, he gathers 'New Jae-myung' people to build power and then crushes.  

  ###

  Lee Jae-myung's blunders were fully predictable. That's why his approval rating drops. 

  1. If completely innocent. He would act like the legitimate sons of Joseon Dynasty kings.

  2. If partially guilty. Like Yeongjo or Sejo, Taejong—kings of questionable legitimacy—he would try to cover faults with achievements and seize governance strongly.

  3. If completely guilty. He would take reckless risks to overturn the game.

  When the cards were revealed, it was number 3.

  ###

  'New Jae-myung' is a private group mimicking Trump's MAGA army. If you create a private organization outside the public entity, it's natural the party falls apart. The Senate should declare him an enemy of the Republic. Democracy is the consensus of the majority. You must make pledges before being elected. Anyone who does what's not in their pledges is an enemy of the Republic.

  Supporter – If Lee Jae-myung betrays, he'll get 20 years in prison with no pardon, so he wouldn't betray, right?

  Lee Jae-myung – Instead of begging for a pardon from a successor after being sentenced, why not gamble and try to deceive both parties?

  The reason the approval rating drops is because people more or less expected him to do such reckless things. In retrospect, we took a gamble knowing the risk.

  The achievements of democracy in the UK and US were due to the sacrifices of other countries. When the boom continues, people mistake it for the achievement of the democratic system. Democracy only works well when the economy is good. The UK exploited its colonies, and the US pushed its burdens onto neighbors at every crisis, so their economies stayed strong. Now, they've met a strong rival: China. 

Chinese-style compromise is not really an alternative either. Korea's developmental dictatorship worked only for a while. China's method can get you to second place, but once you become number one, it collapses. Knowing this, humanity still can't avoid it—this is humanity's limit. For human civilization as a whole, the leaders must slow down and wait for the rear. This is a law of nature. If there is a way to break through this limit, the trigger will have to be an unprecedented disaster that wipes out the whole earth. Ancient Rome and Greece did achieve curious successes, but that was by exploiting colonies as military and war states. We should exploit artificial intelligence.
