He’s claiming the police planted evidence on him as a attempt to justify denying bail. Specifically he says they planted a large amount of cash that he didn’t have on him ever and has no idea where it came from, and they lied about a waterproof bag he had for his phone, saying it was a faraday cage, and claiming his possession of such an item means he’s too sophisticated a criminal to be allowed bail.

He knows what’s coming. They aren’t gonna want him to get to speak to a jury because it’s not gonna be a guarantee they convict him. If he gets a not guilty verdict, that would be VERY bad for the ruling class, so that’s not gonna be allowed to possibly happen.

Potential hot take incoming, but…

I don’t think this means what it appears to. The only people buying Rivians right now are people who very much believe in Rivian, it’s not exactly a mainstream car company just yet. That type of person is also very likely to respond to a survey about how much they like their car and are satisfied by it. This could be explained as just fanboy/fangirl effect right now. Thats not to say the cars are garbage or don’t deserve it, because I haven’t heard a lot of noise about the cars being bad, but I also don’t think this datapoint means much in the grand scheme.

No, actually. I made no assertions about whether or not the coup would’ve succeeded. Only that it doesn’t make sense to pat parliament on the back for doing the absolute minimum of saying “we don’t like this.” The whole situation is a mess, but it’s important to be realistic about what happened. The fact that South Korea still has conscription probably had more to do with the failure than anything else.

Hard disagree. Parliament didn’t do what he said. Yoon backed down. The deciding action on “coup or no coup” here was not done by the group he claims. That’s a big difference. Starting from that point and working from that flawed assessment changes a lot here.

The first paragraph contains a massive factual error that changes the context of the rest of the “hot take” this person has.

Yoon wasn’t overruled by parliament. Parliament passed a resolution (read strongly worded letter) demanding he rescind the martial law declaration, which Yoon then did.

Shandies are a generally accepted thing, and they’re half lemonade half beer, so this really isn’t some wild, out there concoction.

Anti-imperialism is when you invade your neighbor and steal their land for no reason and also obliterate their language and culture from the regions you stole from them.

It’s a good thing all the shittiest people on earth are all having their best day all at the same time…

And by good thing I mean absolutely awful.

If conservatives had any media literacy, they wouldn’t be conservatives anymore.
