Despite being mockingly dubbed "People’s Democratic Republic of Korea," South Koreans brazenly flaunt their fierce nationalism, or Gukppong, without a shred of self-awareness or conscience. They revel in their nationalistic pride, oblivious to the bitter criticisms and scorn they invite.

Critics label this phenomenon as racism against South Korea, but let’s be real: the core issue isn’t about racism. It’s about a staggering lack of conscience and self-awareness that permeates the nation. This fundamental flaw is where the real problem lies.
Remember Nazi Germany before WWII? They were hailed as the most diligent and industrious people in Europe. American money helped them bounce back from WWI’s humiliation, only for them to plunge the world into another devastating war post their 1936 Olympic triumph. The success of the Berlin Olympics gave birth to the twisted notion that Olympic glory equates to national greatness—a dangerous precedent that Seoul’s 1988 Olympics followed.
The Olympics, historically a springboard for evil, do not measure a nation's greatness by gold medals. The more despotic the regime, the more they triumph in these games. Soviet Russia and contemporary China are prime examples. The gold medal tally reflects propaganda prowess rather than genuine national merit.
South Korea’s relentless pursuit of Olympic glory masks a disturbing erosion of democracy and human rights. Their global standing, fueled by relentless propaganda, masks a grim reality: diminishing freedoms and escalating authoritarianism, mirroring their military junta days. What we witness is the Asian reincarnation of Nazi Germany, complete with a booming defense industry and a burgeoning ultra-right regime.
This resurgence of militaristic fervor threatens regional stability, pushing the Far East towards military conflict. Yet, oblivious South Koreans, much like their Nazi-era German counterparts, remain blissfully unaware of the looming danger. Their blind patriotism echoes the naïve exuberance of Germans under Hitler. History’s repetitive nature ensures that karma will deliver a harsh reckoning to the supporters and sympathizers of this modern-day Nazi South Korea, mirroring the fate of Nazi Germany’s followers.
In conclusion, South Korea’s shameless nationalism, bolstered by propaganda and Olympic delusions, heralds a perilous descent into authoritarianism and regional instability. The ghosts of history loom large, promising a grim repeat of the past for those too blind to see the writing on the wall.
