Ouf. Not really surprising IMO. I watched Mark Manson's video on Korean society and it's pretty rough.

It seems Korea did the worst of both worlds by combining Confucianism and strong Asian work ethic with American cutthroat Winner Takes All capitalism.

Resulting in a society who spends their youth grinding themselves into a pulp to "make it to the top", but many don't and just burn out, so it's not surprising so many men are unhappy with the status quo and choosing right wing as an overflow valve.


Devolution, infantility.
