I assume you're a lot more familiar than me with South Korea and the US to make sweeping statements like this one.
I for one follow the news from both and realize that I don't really know enough to have strong opinions. I honestly can't tell whether the South Korean president being arrested is something that furthers democracy or doesn't, what role the president fulfills in that democracy etc. I'm not going to jump to conclusions until I've spent a lot more time learning about the topic (which I'm unlikely to do because it's really not super important for me).

Did you consider not adding a comment to this thread (before learning enough on this topic to have a substantive contribution)?
- YZF 2y agoI did consider whether I should respond - yes. I think it is substantive in a meta sort of way to point out people shouldn't jump to conclusions without having deep understanding of South Korean politics. Politics on HN always seem to go south and I guess this is going to be another one of those but I'd rather say what I think then browse away.
