These things are never 100% "organic". The question is who is organizing them.
I don’t know about who’s organizing it but it follows the Republican playbook of charging up right-wing politics. It’s obvious the South Korean right are unintelligent enough to do this on their own. Waving the US flag and crying out for Charlie Kirk exposes these South Koreans as just lemmings sucking up trying to impress their master. Plus their Catholics means they’re extra dumb. Why does the US want freedom of religion and politics in China? Because this is exactly what they want to see happen in China.
Just as the Chinese are taught to respect authority no matter what, what’s happening in South Korea is what happens when you blindly follow that. Look at how sucking up to the US is that important to them. That only comes from respecting whoever is in power no matter how they got there. The same goes with Hong Kong activists. The same with Japan.
This is what happens when you teach people to respect authority no matter what. Anybody can be an authority because all it takes is just being in a position of power. It doesn’t matter how you got there. The US and the West qualify under those conditions. Why would Chinese/Asians teach their people this? Because it’s all about preventing chaos, instability, and disorder in society because that has happened to cause great strife especially in China. Everyone has to follow the rules exactly and then these things won’t happen. And who makes up the rules? Whoever is the authority.
That’s where the no matter what comes in because that is seen as the important way to prevent these things from happening. If everyone is obeying the rules then there won’t be any chaos. No matter what means also not caring if the authority deserves to be in that position.
Anyone can be an authority with such loose standards. Respecting people because they’re older is important in Asian cultures because being older means they’re more experienced. They maybe old but it doesn’t mean they know anything. Just like being an authority doesn’t mean they’ll do a good job. That’s why Asians don’t make exceptions either, hence why “no matter what” comes into play because if there are exceptions, then everyone will make an exception for themselves thus chaos and instability will ensue. The reason for no exceptions is because they don’t want anyone thinking about it. Just do it.
Because of this it’s why so many Asians look up to the West. And then look at it from their perspective. They see you who don’t look up to the West not respecting authority who is the US and West because that’s what all of society has taught. That’s what happened in Hong Kong. They don’t see Mainland China as their authority. They see the US. Why? Because simply they are the number one power in the world. It’s not about democracy because look at how all those activists beat people just for not agreeing with them. And just like with the US, democracy is just an excuse to get to their objective and not because it’s what’s best. See what low standards on what an authority is has brought?
What can China do to counter this? How about stop doing these things themselves. Yes even Beijing looks up to the US and the West as an authority? When you’re taught to respect authority no matter what, that means you always see someone higher than you and you are always lesser than someone else. That’s why being respected by the US and the West is so important to the Chinese. Why else would you want to be respected by evil. That is what the West is because of how they got there. They call Chinese evil and the reason why Beijing doesn’t do the same to them in return when they have the history to prove it is because they know their place under their own cultural rules. Even though China has their own space station, Beijing wants China to be accepted to the ISS. Why? Because they want China to be respected aka accepted by the “higher authority”.
Why do countries especially like South Korea and Japan have such disdain for China today? It’s because they have what China wants. The US liking them more. That’s all it takes to get things more from those that are seen as the authority. And why does China want something so worthless? Because they want to do the same thing to them. All China has to do is stop valuing the US and the West as something to be respected and the whole thing collapses. It’s a fact that if the US collapses, everyone will be sucking up to China to get the same things they wanted from them. It’s a fact it has nothing to do with the US being the most kind and benevolent power in the history of the world that cares about everyone else or else everyone in the world wouldn’t be as critical to US actions as they are right now. They don’t want to have to work as hard getting from China what they had to do to get from the US and not because they’re what’s best.
