Really @PabloMakes?
This feels like a monstrous slap to the face of a frame that was already lacking and stat creeped (Nidus). I understand there are some issues with passive play, but fucking us Nidus mains over for that is not a good solution. Find something else, please
While everyone focuses on the Charlie Kirk story, this deserves at least equal attention: the U.S. military, in collusion with the South Korean government, maintained during decades a system where tens of thousands of women were forced into sexual servitude for U.S. soldiers, many of whom were minors.
This isn't speculation: the South Korean supreme court ruled in 2022 that the government had illegally operated these brothels, in a way where the women were subjected to debt bondage and unable to leave. In fact, as per the New York Times (https://t.co/8fSZFWWwng), "all the women [in this system] were held in debt bondage," so they were all, effectively, sex slaves.
The scale of it was so insane that the economy around these brothels (bars, etc.) was estimated to make up about 25% of South Korea's GDP during the 1960s and 70s (https://t.co/ACboV0Jy86).
Sordid detail: if one of these women developed a STD, she would be placed into quarantine facilities that US soldiers referred to as "Monkey Houses," (pictured below 👇) because of the screams of women demanding to be let out (https://t.co/tsIRpeCgTC). The women also had to wear numbered badges or tags, like commodity products.
More than 100 of these women have now filed a landmark lawsuit against the U.S. military to hold it accountable as “the real culprit” in that state-sponsored sex trade.
The women however, under agreements between the US and South Korea, cannot sue the U.S. military directly - only their own government. So, perversely, even if the court finds the U.S. military was "the real culprit" in this system of sexual slavery, it's South Korean taxpayers who will have to pay for that.
🔴 Terrible noticia para el patrimonio de Madrid
El Ayuntamiento va a permitir que se arrase Huerta de Mena, una quinta de Hortaleza con siglos de historia que fue lugar de encuentro de la Generación del 27, para que una congregación dé un pelotazo urbanístico
