It's called 4.3 in here South Korea. Fascist pesident Syngman Lee, backed by the US army, committed genocide in Jeju. The army was ordered to consider anyone in the island, including children, as riots. The reason of this genocide was that Labor Party of South Korea was popular in Jeju. The fascist leading opposition People's Power still claim that it was a communist riot.
Han Kang's novel well describes this event.
I also recommend Han Kang's Human Acts, going over the Gwang-Ju Massacre by the butcher Chun Do-Hwan.
Why even bother mentioning this? Nobody cares about the opinions of some crusty old imperialist fuckheads. They are clearly deeply unserious in their prize selection process.
You're right... edited
Yeah but I was told that it's hateful to call a fascist a fascist, so...
Guess we'll just have to live with the coming bloodshed. I can't wait to be told to "get over it."
