My jaw dropped when I read this.
In fact, I swear two paragraphs into reading it, I stopped and scrolled down to check who the author was. I can't believe a Korean actually wrote it.
It's actually coherent, unbiased, and well-thought out. Nothing really new to me, but to hear it from a Korean, that's just amazing.
Kudos. |

daaaaaaaaayum. That part about hatred at the end is what I've always believed. The hatred comes first, then all the bullsh!t surrounding it. That's why understanding the bullsh!t fortress of terrorists won't help, because it is not the reason, it is the excuse.

Forsyth aptly argues: "The hatred came first, then the cause, then the target, then the methods and finally the self-justification. It might be Bolshevik revolution, national liberation, anti-capitalist fervor, or religious exaltation." |
I fully endorse this sentence. I also think the rest of the article is spot on. Who is that masked writer?! |
