TK - The Korean @tkthekorean.bsky.social · 07/10/2026These so-called "defenders of the Western Civilization" wouldn't even know what Western Civ is even if it hit them in their face, and nowhere is this more evident than classical music where these ignorant pigs know nothing about how anything works in classical music. 0132

TK - The Korean @tkthekorean.bsky.social · 21/04/2026For an East Asia-focused person, it seems completely insane to me that any US ally would command this much attention from not just US govt, but US society writ large, such that if you're to be considered a well-informed person you're supposed to have a position on the ally's internal politics. 151
