It reminds me of this thing where, like, you know, if you go back and you read, like,
people in the 1800s talking about or like in the 1800s like 1700s too you'll read them talking about monarchies right and they'll be like ah if the king can like overrule the will of the nobles we would be living in a pure dictatorship it's like what the fuck are you talking about like sir you live under a monarchy like you are already in a dictatorship you are also like part of the authoritarian apparatus of the dictatorship and this is just like the inverse of that where it's like ah the legislature won't let me do whatever the fuck i want so this is now a dictatorship

and so like you know that's simply not what the word dictatorship means and you can't get away with that shit as much in a country where people like in living memory have lived through an actual military dictatorship and understand what that's like the parliament refusing to pass your terrible budget that's not an excuse to institute martial law and try to shut down the legislature

So this this was not received well, as you would expect from whatever unhinged speech that was. He did apologize for imposing martial law, which is a very funny place to end up is like you try to do a coup and then you have to go on TV and apologize for trying to do the coup and also try to argue you didn't just try to do a coup. So this is received very poorly.

As we sort of predicted immediately, the opposition Democratic Party immediately tries to impeach Yoon. And from the way the headlines kind of work in the West and from the way this is being talked about, and even from the way this episode sort of opened, you'd think that this impeachment vote was how we got impeached. But no, no. The first impeachment vote is not how Yoon gets impeached.

Everything is way, way weirder than that. Now, Yoon's party, the People's Power Party, which is henceforth going to be called the PPP because I am not going to say the words People Power Party over and over again. Good Lord.

The PPP got a lot of credit from people outside of South Korea for like, you know, some of their members legitimately did show up to parliament to vote against the martial law declaration. And at the time in the last episode, I said, that's bullshit. You don't get credit for voting against martial law. And also, like most of them weren't there. And I kind of got shit for this.
