To put into perspective: South Korea declared Martial Law during the end of 2024 which was short lived as their citizens were awake, not asleep (since a similar thing occurred in 1980 that lasted until 1987) it only ceased when a new president was elected, so they know what their parents have been through back then not letting it slide in modern times which was met with stiff resistance & protest from Gen Z Koreans.
Their president was impeached right after he enacted it as he’s abusing his power via blocking legislators by using both law enforcement and the military averting them from entering their national assembly, including him ordering the arrest of both the judges and supreme court justices whilst illegally declaring martial law (all in which violate their constitution). People there protested against martial law.
What are you suggesting here? The no kings protests have shown how the opposition to this tyranny can be shown peacefully rather than through violence. Any publicity is good, its spreading the message in a peaceful manner and changing peoples mind to the regime without violence. Thats pretty good, really. Sure it’s not changing anything over night, but at least they’re building momentum and doing something rather than nothing at all.
