Occupied Korea has a huge culture of sexual violence towards women, this is just one example.

A couple more examples:

Abuse of foreign women in Korea

Abuse of female kpop idols

The Nth rooms

JMS Church cult

In each example you can see how the Gov, law enforcement and courts have failed women.

Non-citizens can't vote so the migrant issue will not help the democrats at the election. The migrants are being exploited for cheap labour.

Edit: there have been more deportations under Biden than under Trump.

Artists must learn that the purpose of art in imperialist nations is not for "free expression" but as a weapon against competing nations.

The political power of the US is dead. This will be the final straw for US hegemony.

"WWII began because Russia entered into an agreement with Germany where both invaded Poland and agreed not to attack each other."

Crazy how many Americans think this.

That's too bad, you should have voted harder.

To answer that question first we must understand why environmental activists and union organisers are targetted in the first place. Businesses make money polluting, clearing land etc. They also save money exploiting workers through poor workplace safety, terrible working conditions, low pay etc. It would be an impedance to capital to allow such individual in government to pass laws limiting profits.

In our liberal democractic world, money wins, no matter what the will of the people is or what the long term outcomes are, the owning class wins every time. It's not as if people haven't tried voting for the right person in the past. In many countries there already exist Labour parties established by workers unions. Despite this, business interests always win. Sometimes they throw a few crumbs at the plebs to appease them but it's always big business that dominates.

Another example, remember Barack Obama's election campaign in 2008? Change we can believe in? Then he enters the presidency and bails the banks out during the GFC and continued the war in Iraq. Coca cola hired paramilitaries to kill union organisers in Colombia. Biden campaigned on climate change action and then approved new gas piplines. I can go on and on.

Answering your question is very hard to do in a short reply. There are many books written about the topic. I recommend the following video: https://youtu.be/fcImfx8tunI?si=FfAJzdCq2qFX2RlI

Also, search the text "vote harder" in lemmygrad, it's a meme to mock liberals.

Mfw the laws the gov said would be used to catch pedos are actually used on enviromental activists and union organisers.

Most westerners don't understand what war is.

It was created by NATO, however, Serbia's claim to it is facist/nationalist and not some socialist "brotherhood and unity" ideal. Kosovo is an important national symbol for Serbians because of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo against the Ottoman Empire. However, life in Kosovo is horrible in their current pseudostate. They live in poverty, their government is corrupt and the country is a hive fof international crime. I wish all the ethnicities would put aside their nationalist pride and focus on real material improvements to their lives but it's the balkans so it will never happen.
