This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.

The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

yes thank you. I am learned on Gwangju, and the parallels are uncanny, but I was hoping for the news source where korea labels Minneapolis as America's Gwangju. I want to show that to my friends back in the states.
