Summary
Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, facing potential arrest for imposing martial law in December, has gained notable support from young conservative men.
While retirees dominate his rallies, younger male activists, inspired by pro-Yoon YouTubers, are rallying behind claims of election fraud, mirroring rhetoric from Donald Trump’s 2020 U.S. campaign.
Yoon’s anti-feminist stance resonates with disaffected young men, who heavily supported him in the 2022 election.
This demographic backlash is tied to grievances over gender policies under South Korea’s prior government, which had focused on reducing gender inequality.
Wow, idiots are the same all over the world. Who would have thunk. Crazy how they all mirror each other.

Yeah we’ve seen this movie before. It’s no coincidence they’re mirroring each other. It’s all coming from the same Macedonian troll army farm.
I think it was Some More News that was talking about this trend of using young, frustrated men and grooming them towards authoritarianism.
The researcher they had on was talking about how this is how every fascist party got into power. The good news is that it’s often not enough to keep them in power.
50% of Korean men are absolute garbage. From my personal experience in Korea, they have an undeserving sense of pride, are entitled, rude & quick to anger.
So…Thanos?
