Oh, the irony. Even the democratic South Korea will act fascist and won't allow freedom of speech.

tbf, part of being democratic means your people get to decide for themselves what they will and won't allow, they have that overriding freedom. We, for instance, could amend our constitution to remove our 1st amendment, if we so wished. It's a power we have.

That does not make them militaristic, aggressive, hyper-patriotic states though, which is something different.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
