Strange to hear Regina talking about “bias” considering the content of most of her posts, and that she doesn’t have a K-blog anymore anyways. I consider ROK Drop the best Korea blog out there, and though he writes about a lot the military, and though that’s considered inherently conservative, it’s a voice that needs to be heard.

If biased people can’t talk about bias, then no one will talk about bias.

I always thought us Canadians drove Americans in Korea to become right wing. Or maybe a tag team effort between Canadians and Koreans. When you find yourself as an unwitting representative of your nation in Korea and people are always trying to make you pay for your nation’s crimes (even though you got out of the USA to escape the lunacy), you begin to circle your wagons and start defending that which you thought previously was indefensible.

I think there are more conservatives in Korea
Nothing
Maybe there are more conservatives in Korea because they like it here.
Korea is kind of conservative.
