This is bittersweet as the young hero gave his life to try to save others — and yet the rescuers are being attacked for not waiting to put on life jackets.
Setnaffa, as usual, is trying to spread fake news and misinformation.
The ROK Marine leadership is being criticized for not issuing life jackets to the marines involved in the rescue.
No one is attacking the marines themselves for not waiting for their life jackets.
And yet setnaffa twists the truth for his own purposes.
I think it won’t be long before he states that the marines don’t need life jackets to go into a high risk of drowning area, because they are marines and don’t need one.
Shame on setnaffa for using a tragedy to advance his right wing agenda.

There are news reports now that South Korea and the US had reached a secret agreement to transfer South Korean-made cluster bombs to the US which will deliver them to Ukraine. A single cluster bomb can totally destroy three football field-sized areas and is banned internationally. Yet the US wants to use them in Ukraine. I didn’t know this, but South Korea is the second top cluster bomb-making country, with defense industry companies, Hanwha, LIG Next One, and Poongsan leading the production.

“and real men don’t need parachutes when jumping off the plane.”
I dont know about you beta males, but when I do a three-point landing with two bent knees and a fist after a HANO jump (high altitude, no opening), the ground shatters to bedrock and a spherical shockwave radiates away from me and shreds the leaves off the trees.

A K-pop girl group without any Korean members has become a massive international hit. Members are Senegalese, Brazilian, American, and East Indian. They have been getting a lot of support from Korean and international audiences.
It is an open secret they are a genuine imitation whose terribly good soft rock songs are recorded live in random order when they play a show for military intelligence after a meal of hamburger steak and jumbo shrimp.
That is my unbiased opinion.

Considering that right wingers like the Setnaffarians are lower middle class, I wonder why they are supportive of policies that benefit the rich.
Then I realized that they are uneducated racists who are prone to conspiracy theories and strongmen ordering them around.
Which means someone like Hitler or Trump can succeed simply by playing to the racist and conspiracy theory sensitivities of the right wingers.
Being poorly educated means the right wingers can’t filter out the BS and will scoop up the stuff like ice cream.
The left on the other hand are highly educated, which means they can filter out the BS from the Hitler wannabes while supporting socialism, because they know it benefits the middle class more than the rich.

I can see it now, Trump and all his underlings are upset and angry: “WTF is happening to America right now? What the hell? Where is Gone with the Wind? Where is Elvis Presley? This is America! Foreign invasion, this is not right!”
“Considering that right wingers like the Setnaffarians are lower middle class, I wonder why they are supportive of policies that benefit the rich.”
That is quite the condundrum.
Since that makes no sense at all, what could another explanation be?
Maybe they are not supportive of policies that only benefit the rich? But, if you feel that way, explain which ones they support.
Maybe they are not lower middle class? Most of the Setnaffarians seem to have technical educations, skills, and experience, which translate to upper middle-class jobs.
We could also discuss education vs. indoctrination.
Back when a university degree could pay for itself, it served a couple of purposes.
It molded everyone into the same cognative framework… history, geography, art, the classics, etc. It demonstrated to an employer that you were trainable. It served as a proxy to get around the Supreme Court decision that employers could not give IQ tests.
But now diploma mills sell fake credentials for nonexistent skills, and those who go into debt for them brag they are “educated”.
Snooty and wrong.
Companies have gotten wise to this. And they are getting wiser. HR is not there to help the human resources. They are there to help the company manage human resources.
Are your pronouns on your resume? You are going to be a disruptive force and a potential legal liability.
Your “education” includes lots of race and gender stuff? Poor judgement. Potential disruption. Nothing there that adds value to the company.
Majored in something clearly unmonitizable at a school that gives Bs for just showing up? And went into generational debt to do it? If you can’t look out for yourself, you can look out for the company.
This trend is accelerating and will likely be the norm by 2030 +/-.
The “educated” left has shown no signs of education, training, or even intelligence. Cause and effect, pattern recognition, historical knowledge, proper prioritization… zero awareness.
The lefist run cities, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, are great examples of “educated” leftists in action making the same mistakes over and over while expecting different results.
Sooooo…
“Educated leftist” is more of a self-clown than a brag.
Enjoy your college debt for nothing.
Nobody is going to pay it off.

To borrow a phrase from one of the most underrated and hilarious early 90s movies, “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane,” talking to Korean Person is like masturbating with a cheese grater. Slightly amusing, but mostly painful.
I do enjoy CH’s rapier wit with our visiting chinaman or nork troll, so keep it going. It’s a bit of how I think watching a Roman Colosseum fight would have gone down- huge gladiator taking small, targeted and deliberate cuts on the barbarian’s flanks and appendages to the delight of the crowd. The slow death.
No one likes a quick finish- except the lady you buy the $20 drinky for.

Second Rule:
When you make love to another man from behind, just enjoy the moment.
His feeble resistance means nothing and the more you overcome it, the more you embolden everyone else in the cellblock to take their turn when you are done.
And when they are weak in mind and emotionally effeminate in nature, as most tool-level liberals are, you are doing them a favor by reinforcing their perpetual victimhood.
All, using the Overseas Development Assistance. This is unlike China which is putting African countries highly indebted to China in return for any infrastructure projects designed to enrich only China. This is also unlike the American and European aid to Africa which focuses on giving development aid money to African countries, which only end up helping corrupt African government officials. Unlike Americans and Europeans, South Koreans offer real aid – giving African countries, technology, education, advice, and cooperation based on Korea’s own experiences of development.

The constitutional court strikes down the impeachment process of the Interior Safety Minister who was in charge of the country’s safety policies (a Yoon government crud) during the Itaewon Crush of 2022 which killed 150 people due to gross neglect of duty.
Despite anticipating a crowd of more than 100,000, Seoul police had assigned 137 officers to Itaewon on the day of the crush. Some experts have called the crush in Itaewon a “manmade disaster” that could have been prevented with fairly simple steps, such as employing more police and public workers to monitor bottleneck points, enforcing one-way walk lanes and blocking narrow pathways.
The 137 officers deployed weren’t even the right number. Only 23 officers were deployed to control the 100,000-plus crowd. The rest of them were undercover cops who were on the lookout for drugs. This decision was directly made by that crud, the Interior Safety Minister, whom the president is supporting.

The story of the young teacher’s suicide is tragic; but it won’t make life easier for other young teachers, nor curb unruly behavior.
If South Korea eeally wanted to do something, they should take repeat offenders out of the regular schools and start them working in rice production. That would eliminate problems in the classroom and help farmers find low-cost employees.
And it would teach the others to “straighten up and fly right.”
That’s a big deal…
