Nowhere is safe. I saw, years ago, how the cancer of postmodernism had gotten a foothold on Korean academe. It's metastasized since then. Now, ROK Drop passes along the news that people (young people, of course, because they're the stupidest ones) want to boycott Starbucks because a vice chairman for Shinsegae (which owns two-thirds of Starbucks Korea) made some anti-communist remarks. How far must your head be up your own leftist asshole for you to think such remarks are worth protesting over? Being anti-communist used to be uncontroversial; even Korean liberals were at least somewhat anti-communist. But no more. Young, dumb Koreans think nothing is wrong with North Korea ("They're our brothers!"), and communism is just hunky-dory. What I wouldn't give to ship all these low-IQ mouth-breathers up north and just leave them there. Enjoy your worker's paradise, guys! Fucking morons.
I should note, though, that I hate Starbucks with a passion, so part of me is glad to see the establishment receive some negative attention. Starbucks is a good example of overpriced, corporatized mediocrity. It's the McDonald's of coffee (and haven't they done taste tests where McDonald's coffee has beaten Starbucks's?). I hope Starbucks Korea's stocks take a hit from this. There are no winners, here—only losers and bigger losers.

I saw this today before I read your piece. Perhaps the youth of Korea can help their northern "brothers" with their poop.

Southern youth certainly generate enough horseshit.
