Anyone complaining about this because flag on cliff knows nothing of climbing history in Yosemite. Flags have been flown by people climbing el cap for a long time.

Ammon McNeely was a genuine legend of Yosemite and big wall climbing in general. He was known as the el cap pirate for flying a skull and cross bones as he climbed. One example.

So if this uniquely upsets you then ask yourself why. Admit it’s probably a bigoted response. If this does not uniquely upset you… Then you better be making arguments against climbing el cap at all as it has been climbed for decades. And I better see you getting just as pissed in the comment section of any climbing blog.

Well we agree at last!

I was mocking the words Yoon said himself that blamed the communists for having to do this. So I suppose pertinent if you want to take what he says at face value and believe he did this because of the commies pillaging the happiness of the south. I wouldn’t believe him if I where you but you do what you like.

Since I do not believe him and instead believe that he is lying and wants to maintain power for himself the conditions in North Korea do not actually pertain to whether or not Yoon’s declaration of martial law has merit.

It’s bad to declare martial law. It’s funny to blame your fascistic actions on commies. It’s weird to insist that we have to talk about North Korea before we can say Yoon is being ridiculous.

I agree that the ROK and DPRK are largely incomparable.

Do you agree that Yoon is ridiculous for blaming commies in the north or do you think that actually is relevant to his reasoning?

Well if you’re still paying attention it doesn’t seem so over yet what with the attempted arrest of political opposition. We’ll see how it plays out. Hopefully peacefully.

South Korea are the bad guys. Well not THE bad guys. Just some bad guys. Like their government is famously corrupt and rather recently a dictatorship as well. North Korea martial law is also bad but not directly pertinent to this news story. Odd that whenever something bad happen in the south you feel you must jump up and shout that the north is worse.

I didn’t say north Korea was good but ok.

I was making fun of Yoon’s reasoning here where he literally blamed communists for pillaging happiness from the south. I guess that’s not allowed without also condemning north Korea?

Yup the south is totally a democracy guys. It’s those northern communists that are pillaging out happiness. Pay no mind to the capitalist hellscape it’s actually communisms fault. Oh you don’t agree we’ll time to declare martial law. Democratically

It’s good actually to betray evil people.

I’d go to Russia to if my government was threatening to kill me or lock me up forever.

He has a choice now. The choice to end his own pathetic life or burn in mental anguish for the rest of his life. I hope he chooses whichever path leaves him and his the most miserable.
