We all see the dystopian surveillance and totalitarian police state burgeoning in China, exponentially accelerating in the wake of horrific pandemic today. I expect you also have noticed the same, if less direct, censorship, propaganda and imposition of despotic governance in the West. What I know of Korea is that it has been plagued with cultish elites rankly twisting society there whichever way the winds of power blow, your people parasitized with psyops, your nation faltering on the precipice of utopia from the malice of your leaders - just like America, but in Korean terms. What I have read in the last decade indicates the masculinity of your men is criminalized, and the femininity of your women weaponized.
Surely you know about Korea well. Koreans suffer from incompetent and capricious ruling classes. So, there are some Koreans who believe that it is better for the US to dominate Korea.
No slavery is better than freedom, no matter the wisdom and benevolence of the overlord or the desperation of your liberty.
You are right However, there are Koreans who see the children of Korean ruling classes gain US citizenship and believe that American domination is better.
The reality of Korean ruling class becoming royalty and aristocracy and gaining US citizenship gives Koreans frustration and despair.
First of all, there are Korean radicals who say they want to be American rather than becoming China's tributary.
Rather than being a Chinese emperor's serf, he insists on becoming a citizen of an American president.
Some people cannot imagine being dependent on themselves, and must serve somebody.
Koreans who see Korea's ruling class gain US citizenship distrust the Korean government and rather make them believe in America.
The Jews distrusted them because the royal house of Herod was a Roman citizen who was an Idumae.
The reality of modern Korea is similar to that of ancient Israel in the royal house of Herod.
American government is no less corrupt than Korean government. Belief in masters is a feature of slaves. Free people believe in themselves.
