Disabled Rights Movement Struggle Report - Footage of disability rights activism, protests in South Korea from early 2000's

https://youtu.be/g16toHkM1L8

There have been recent protests in Korea by disability activists centered around the right to accommodations on public transport. Some of these activists can trace back to this movement in the early 2000's. This documentary is in Korean and has no English subs but if you don't understand Korean you can still view the actions taken by the activists, and I will provide some explanations & timestamps, focusing mainly on protest scenes and clashes with police (the other scenes mainly consist of talking with government officials or demonstrating the problems with the public transport accessibility). ... read full post

In South Korea, the right wing roosts and rallies

Yoon ran on a campaign of anti-feminism, pandering to a large and growing voter bloc within the country of “idaenam” (“men in their twenties”). “Idaenam” cite feminism and affirmative action as “reverse discrimination,” are in opposition to LGBTQ+ rights and (surprise) are concentrated mainly in the upper class.

Suspending U.S.-ROK military exercises, decreasing military tensions on Korean Peninsula

https://www.workers.org/?p=62692

Without a peaceful resolution to the Korean War, we have witnessed increasing militarization on the Korean Peninsula for seven decades. The U.S.-ROK combined military exercises, which prepare for an all-out war with North Korea, have developed into large-scale exercises that mobilize considerable weapons, equipment and U.S. troops on the Korean Peninsula. In recent years, these war drills have been based on operation plans that reportedly include preemptive strikes and “decapitation measures” against the North Korean leadership. They also have involved the use of B-2 and B-52H bombers (which are designed to drop nuclear bombs) and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. While the United States and South Korea have called them defensive in nature, these military exercises have long been a trigger point for heightened military and political tensions on the Korean Peninsula, due to their scale and provocative nature. ... read full post

South Korea suggested formally declaring an end to the Korean War, but the U.S. refused - because if the war was declared over, then the U.S. would lose the reason to have troops in South Korea.
