I've been yearning and praying for months that something like this would happen and tonight, as i was taking my daily walk through the park close to my workplace, it finally happened!
Some older gentleman saw me walking without a mask and instead of staring, checking to see his mask is on tightly or even crossing to the other side of the road...he pulled down his own mask and for the first time in months, breathed God's air!
Very very small in the grand scheme, but after more than a year of disappointments, this was amazing!
Just got notice from my grandchildrens Summer School teacher that all masks can now be done away with. Praise the Lord. I suppose they are doing it before the regular school season starts here in Kentucky.
It's become a part of the culture over here. My mask broke the other day in class and the kids (10 year olds) reacted like I pulled a gun on them.
Everything is opening here in my state so I thank God for the many blessings he has given us. Things are getting back to being good and I continue to pray for the Lord to heal OUR WORLD; not just my nation. Amen.
God bless! Keep up the fight. Some will catch on.
I know how big this is for you! Relish it, and keep doing God's work! ?
So are you from South Africa? (and how did you end up in S. Korea?)
I ate some bulgogi at a local Korean place a few days ago. Kimchi was on the side; I still don't really like it :) (I was in S. Korea in 1992 and 1993? for a few weeks)
I am indeed. There's a saying, where you find work, you'll find Afrikaners. I make double here teaching than I would back home. There are a bunch of us teaching English over here. I've been here six years and until about 10 months ago when the Chyna Virus stopped being a rational fear and became a mindless cult and open celebration of the ability to mindlessly follow authority; Korea was an awesome place to stay. Now I'm looking forward to leaving at the end of the year.
I like Bulgogi, still not a fan of Kimchi. Korea in the early 90s must've been a very different place for foreigners. The overwhelming majority of the population still can't speak any English beyond "Hello, how are you?" So I imagine navigating your way around would've been an immense challenge.
"I'M FINE THANK YOU AND YOUUUUU"
I was there from 2012-2014. I taught both kids and adults. I gotta say, the ability to mindlessly follow authority has always been a thing over there, probably since they were a Confucian society for so long. Ask people, kids included, why Dokdo is important and you'll usually get a canned response: it's full of resources and natural gas so it's important for our country.
Followed by, teacher Japan bad.
When I visited Seoul a few years ago I was entertained by the solemn Dokdo propaganda video playing on the airport shuttle train, chastising Japan about how "The World Knows" that it's unequivocally Korea's territory.
There's zero equivalent pro-Takeshima propaganda in Japan if you don't dive into deep nationalist YouTube or somewhere. Haven't seen any equivalent of that in 30 years living here.
Hey fren i hope you consider staying in Korea if possible, you are doing Gods work regardless.
No, November I am leaving for many reasons, both personal and with the larger situation in context. They are aiming to have 70% of the population jabbed by then and will start jabbing kids. I don't want to be here for that.
Are they not doing the same in S.A.? They are certainly trying the same here in U.S.A.
Yes, but far less people are having it and I feel far more comfortable and prepared to fight back. Plus masks are not a part of South African culture like it is here.
Makes sense now that you say that. Good luck with your trip back!
I was there doing some field research near the DMZ, on the west coast, in a little fishing village. We worked with some Seoul University students and they got great laughs when I read from a English-Korean translation book. I could have been the greatest American standup comedian in the country just by trying to read phonetic Korean phrases :). I really liked all the Koreans we worked with; most spoke English fairly well. I guess I might not like it too much if I were to ever go back to visit. It's so sad that leftist mentality ruins everything it seeps into, whether a business, a city, a state, or a country.
Our trip to the DMZ was a highlight of our travels. We went to the Korean War museum as well and it was totally empty except for a few guards.
We were blown away at the time (2007) about how fast the internet was in Japan and Korea...when you are able to build infrastructure from the ground up, you can use new tech at the outset. Here were are slowly upgrading systems in use since the 70s. I think most Americans do not realize how big our country is compared to other countries in the world.
Perpetuates false equivalencies when comparing US to Sweden or US to So Korea.
I wonder if the So Koreans have had any luck beating wokism back, Especially since that presidential scandal and billionaire woman cult was found to be pulling the strings....
so Korean president faces calls to quit
Sadly Korea is teetering on the edge of socialism, it already has the right attitude for it. The number 1 issue before this started was Moon Jae-In's successor looking to implement UBI.
God bless you and keep on fighting! You are in a way more difficult arena than myself....take my energy anon.
Thanks fren.
? it just takes 1, Be strong, you know the truth
I live in ccp 2.0 (canadas communist party) and havent wore a mask since day one. I printed off the 23 page bylaw and circled all the areas that say i dont gotta wear one. When i walk into a store/mall and they ask me to mask up i open the bylaw and get them to read it(keep a backup incar incase they try anything sneaky) and then proceed to tell them to suck my asshole and lick my dick. Then when i return the next time around they dont even bother asking me about a mask

Hey man I live in Japan (I think you replied to a comment of mine a few months ago). I face a similar thing, where everyone over here is like culturally pressured into wearing masks all the freakin’ time.
Well it was hot the other day and when I took my kids to the park I saw a lady not wearing her mask, so when my kid asked her kid to play together, we started chatting (I’m maskless cos I’m outside duh).
I said how strange it feels to see a Japanese person without a mask, and she was like “oh I fucking hate these things!” It really gave me hope. I bet as the summer continues more and more will realise it’s fuckin stupid.
Indeed we did have a chat about that. I have seen more people without them as it gets hotter, but a vast minority. Korean gov recently announced from July you are allowed to go maskless outdoors if you are vaxxed. I must say I'm very disappointed in the koreans allowing their gov that kind of power by following that mandate. However I'm very curious to see whether those who are jabbed will take theirs off after wearing them for so long and whether it will lead to unjabbed people doing the same.
Wow I wasn’t aware the government had said you must wear a mask outside. I don’t think that’s a thing here in Japan. I’ve certainly not been hassled for not wearing a mask outside!
Well it says public areas, which is very open to interpretation and which the koreans took to mean everywhere.
Japan has had some guidelines from the start: you're to avoid the "Three Cs" as they call them in English.
So as far as I can tell outside is a free-for-all, which I'm gladly taking advantage of. The normies still wear their masks everywhere though. It's kind of sad because more and more people are saying they hate it but don't want to be the odd one out. I've seen people go jogging with so much headgear they look like they're auditioning for a role as a Daft Punk stunt double. They're breathing so hard the mask does a vacuum seal on their face giving them a kind of facial camel toe. I just want to slap them and say take it off you fool!!
Yeah, got the joggers here too or those taking their dogs for walks masked up. Even have them taking walks with toddlers in strollers and the toddlers masked up. However you can sit shoulder to shoulder in a packed restaurant without a mask and somehow you're protected. No one questions it. The moment you step outside the masks pop on again.
Lol doesn't surprise me Japan is a bit more organised. From what I can gather from friends who have lived in both, Koreans are on the money when they feel a bit inferior to Japan.
Amazing. Every little bit helps. Keep fighting, Anon! God bless.
Every step yowards freedom is a step in the right direction. Congrats, fren.
You doing great work, keep it up...From a fellow South African and Patriot...
Beautiful
wonderful
National parks are still cucked as fuck. Bullshit timed reservations systems so karen can reserve a slot and not show up, screwing people who arrive in person.
Chaos mode I like it.
AMAZEBALLS! We must show them how to be free.
Here in Japan when I walk around my residential neighborhood I'll avoid wearing a mask until the moment I enter a store or the train station.
Most people are masked but I seem to be seeing a few more starting to ignore it. 90% men, so women seem to be more submissive to societal pressure. Saw one maskless woman today though so there's hope.
The other day I saw no fewer than four unmasked people on a single walk in the local riverside park, so that's progress!
Strangely enough the largest demi I've seen without masks have been older people, those who are more at risk. The young do it to fit in. Looks like there's a blistering summer headed this way. Wonder what they'll do.
For me it's mostly the occasional older construction guys who sometimes just go into the convenience store without bothering.
That and I'd guess about 1/3 of high school boys that I see wandering around after school being edgy either with no mask on or have it under their chin. Kids 8-10 y.o. or so playing in the park are the least masked group that I've seen here. Their parents will have masks, the kids not so much.
Once you go into the city it's masks all the way through.
Maybe it's cause I live in a city, but I've never seen anyone else enter a store without one. Once saw a woman whose broke, she proceeded to finish her trip with one hand covering her nose and mouth. We made eye contact and I laughed at her.
Ok, I’ve been reading your posts for a while and I’m gonna be honest, do you know what we think here of people migrating to an other country and not following their rules ???
Just because I live in a different country does not mean I will allow my brain to stop functioning.
I just got downvoted for saying "You doing great work, keep it up...From a fellow South African and Patriot..."...WTF is wrong with some people...????????????????
When I go to a foreign country (not recently) I always make a point of following the rules more than I would at home. Their country, I am a guest, and so on. For example I always participate in the ludicrous and unlogical tipping culture when settling the bill in USA restaurants.
There comes a point though when you have to draw a line; especially if you are in that country for more than a couple of weeks or so. That's probably when you know it's time to move on. Never been to S. Korea but I would not be willing to be part of their mask thing which as I understand it is a full-on obsession.
Are you fucking serious...? You trying to compare oranges with apples...!
Nope, you are the one immigrating and then complaining , sounds familiar ???
Ummm...You talking to the wrong SA....I'm not Immigrating anywhere and complaining...! Just because we have the same flag, does not mean we the same person....
Oups
I'm in Greece on an island. The locals love me because I say "fuck the government" but I respect the People's customs although I don't go to church. Also, I speak Greek (just about adequately).
Rules/mandates vs actual Laws don’t mix, also try to remember when you’re being smarmy, most of the fucks that we try to get to assimilate don’t fucking care to. Why should purkiss? Quit being a prick!
