  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yeah this is a read on power that's made by babies and libs.

"They said the magic words that made the law spell work. Why can't you do that America???"

Yoon's coup failed because he failed to secure the centers of power (in SK this is literally the chaebol families) in his corner, not because the Parliament did a ritual.

Exactly. I would go so far as to say the Chaebols let this happen so that they could then have parliment "stop" it and get the people feeling good about parliment so when they turn around in a few months and pass some super crazy laws people wont care.
