“What the hell is Manhwa?”

Edit: My guess is the last thing he can’t remember the name of is “Train to Busan”.

    I definitely don’t recall the DPRK being mentioned at all in Squid Game season 1.

        Okay. I remember that plot point, vaguely, but I don’t recall it being about the DPRK, specifically. Maybe I just missed it.

    Hah. Hey, at least that’s a good benchmark for how the rest of us felt about US media post-9/11.

      Ah, yes, left far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy, opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism.

      Why does everything have to be tied to fascism? Cant there just be a bad ideology independent of fascism?

        I call it authoritarianism, which covers a variety of ideologies.

        Anything north of that top horizontal line is off limits, and I’m personally somewhere in the vast sea of libertarianism, occasionally nudging up into liberalism.

          i think human political philosophy is a little more complex than a 2 dimensional set of axis.

          but i agree, authoritarianism is probably the best word.
