i just looked in the tags and couldn’t find any posts about this, so i’ll make one myself:
yoon suk-yeol just won the presidential election in south korea. he ran on a platform of “feminism is a hate group that’s ruining south korea” and “men are oppressed by women” and featured campaign promises like abolishing the ministry of gender equality and family, abolishing the minimum wage and setting a 120 hour workweek for the working poor, getting rid of all food safety standards, and much more. his entire campaign focused on appealing to south korea’s rising incel movement, his nickname is literally “k-trump,” and he just won.
women and minorities in south korea are going to die because of this guy’s policies. here’s a thread by a south korean woman with more information.
Yoon has also portrayed Korean Chinese migrants as freeloaders on the national healthcare system, and said that manual labor is only for Africans. He wants deeper military ties with the US, and described president Moon‘s approach to China and the DPRK as ‘submissive’ - he also supports a pre-emptive strike against the north, and expansion of controversial US THAAD missile sites.
A good thread by Nodutdol on the election here.
