If I were to characterize any part of Korea as a “dystopia”, it wouldn’t be the part that defends itself with robot machine guns. Indeed, the robot machine guns were invented to protect South Korea from falling under the dystopia that has overrun the North.
- lucian1900 6y agoWhich side of Korea was bombed to the ground by the US in a war that has still not ended?
- vorpalhex 6y agoWhich side of Korea is still firing missiles at it's neighbors and running a dystopian fascist state?
- samatman 6y agoThe only way you can insult fascists is by comparing them to communists, who are objectively worse by the metric of democide.
- lucian1900 6y agoUntil when was South Korea openly a fascist military dictatorship? Interestingly it’s often ignored. If you believe what the CIA says about other countries, you’ll believe lots of lies.
- creato 6y agoWhat is your point? Would you rather be in North Korea or South Korea?
- snovv_crash 6y agoAnd more importantly, would you rather put the north in charge of the south, or the south in charge of the north? Which scenario do you think would turn out better for the people who live there?
- Google234 6y agoWell the fun thing about putting the north in charge is that everyone will learn about how Kim Il didn’t need to ever use the restroom and had 11 hole-in-ones the 1St time he golfed :p
- sudosysgen 6y agoAutomated sentry guns gives precisely zero protection from an NK invasion. NK with destroy them with guided artillery or something similar right before attempting an invasion. So no, they don't serve that purpose.
- philwelch 6y agoMaybe you should tell the South Korean military that. You go do that, and if they listen to your opinion and change their policy based on your insights, I’ll be happy to concede the point. Until then, I think it’s reasonable to assume that the South Koreans know what they’re doing.
- sudosysgen 6y agoNo they won't, because the purpose of those sentries isn't to prevent an invasion.
