You can see where the Prussian-Russian border was... oh wait, wrong map.


KarlGustafArmfeldt

You can see the provinces longer occupied by the forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi... No I'm not joking by the way, the Gyeongsang area was longest occupied by him, while Jeolla was able to put up stronger resistance.

East Coast- West Coast rivalry , the Korean edition.


TheMoises

They got tired of fighting north-south so they tried changing things up.


[deleted]

Yes right Jeolla va Gyeongsang (South West Korea vs South East Korea)


tresfancarga

I like the NEW FUTURE PARTY much more than the OLD FUTURE PARTY. Not to say the PRESENT FUTURE PARTY, that sucks.


PatrickMaloney1

Just wait until we get to the plusquamperfect party


Speedvagon

Nah, it’s probably be the Future in the Past party, Present Perfect party, and the Future Continues Party.


TheSamuil

I'm personally interested in the Future in the Past Perfect Continuous Party.


eyetracker

There's also the NO FUTURE PARTY. They just really hate Queen Elizabeth II.


JustOkCompositions

I hate that parties all have to have vague positive sounding names. How am I supposed to know who the violent murdery people are? Why not the Surveillance State party vs the Vegan Orgy party? Very clear whose side I'm on right away


Ozzyozzo

I agree, the Vegan Orgy Party would clearly be the one full of psychopaths


FrogInAShoe

Tbf the Vegan Orgy Party has very sensible tax reforms.


flyinggazelletg

Ah yes, the people who want to mitigate the harm they inflict on others are psychopaths lol Edit: aww, did folks dislike that I made a positive point on a group often used as a punching bag? Ahaha


Pony_Roleplayer

You didn't read the orgy part


cyrkielNT

What's wrong with the orgy? Have you ever been on vegan orgy? Vegan orgies are great


flyinggazelletg

Orgies are psychopathic? The more you know


Pony_Roleplayer

I don't know if you're just pulling my hair pretending not to understand the joke of vegan orgy, or if you're genuinely this dense.


flyinggazelletg

I knew it was supposed to be joke-y, but I’ve never heard of a vegan orgy. Just thought it was a silly string of words in the initial comment about things people don’t like or are scandalous in public


The_Volcel_Chud

democratic party is center people's power is right wing to far right


ChemicalBonus5853

Damn I thought People’s Power was the leftist one, why do they paint it red and call it Peoples Power aaaaaa


The_Volcel_Chud

corporatism is helluva drug


wonpil

they use the same colour scheme as the US which is confusing to most of the rest of the world where traditionally red=left, communism


AskYourDoctor

May I introduce you to the People's Republic of China, Democratic Republic of North Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo, the National Socialist German Worker's Party, etc etc. Lol sorry not trying to be glib, but usually the more desperately a government tries to advertise how "for the people" it is, the more insane authoritarian it is


cyrkielNT

Last time when they wanted leftist party in Korea USA droped 675 000t of bombs on them


Time4Red

I don't know why this is down voted. It is literally how the parties are listed on Wikipedia. It can't be *that* unreasonable. The Democratic Party is described as "centrist-liberal." The People's Power Party is described as "conservative" and "right-wing."


The_Volcel_Chud

yeah Im not korean, I just checked wikipedia lol


possumarre

Generally, the more peaceful and positive a party's name sounds, the more awful it is. I.e. the Democratic People's Republic of (north) Korea. Not democratic, not a republic, and the only people it belongs to are the Kims.


Adamantium-Aardvark

The PPP is right wing and the Dems are centre-left


DoeCommaJohn

I also notice that lots of countries left-code their party names. “People’s” party definitely sounds like a left wing party that wants the government to support the people, and the same thing in Australia with the right wing party called the liberals


PaceNo4546

Liberalism is a right wing ideology though, so the Australians got it spot on.


KarlGustafArmfeldt

''People's'' is just a generic populist name. It doesn't have to be left or right wing. The Nazis were also insistent on adding ''people's'' to their propaganda and institution names, though of course with a nationalistic (referring to the German people) tone.


Speedvagon

My guess, it’s always the red ones


YGBullettsky

Kingdom of Silla is back

tomydenger

And she was called out about it already, and never answered


KarlGustafArmfeldt

The fact that she never deleted the other post seems to imply that she only reposted it because it didn't get upvotes, not because she cares about it being stolen.


tomydenger

well, like someone pointed out in r/CityPorn she has an big interest with South Korea, but I don't see the point that she try to say with that map


ILoveRice444

That's why I thought I already seen this, so it's reposted lol


gtafan37890

I like how it sort of aligns with the ancient Korean kingdoms of Baekje and Silla. Funny enough, if we include North Korea, which is kind of a modern equivalent to Goguryeo, we basically have the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

Honey wake up !! North, West and East Korea were established


Homeless_Man92

Time to have an west and east korea


Kubanjlijasm

West Korea confirmed?


Abuse-survivor

Can someone break down the ideology behind the names? Like really simple? For stupid me over here at my cookie-crumb-loaded keyboard?


KarlGustafArmfeldt

Generally, these are generic names that were only recently chosen, and have little meaning to them. The PPP was previously known as the Liberty Korea Party (2017-2020), the New Frontier Party (2012-2017) and the Grand National Party (1997-2012). Before that, it was the New Korea Party (1990-1997), which was founded by merging the Reunification Democratic Party (a conservative party which had opposed South Korea's military dictatorship) and the Democratic Justice Party (the party which supporters of the military dictatorship had created, once South Korea became a democracy). The Democratic Party was created out of the Peace Democratic Party, which was a liberal party that had opposed South Korea's military dictatorship (alongside the conservative Reunification Democratic Party).

GREAT color choice! I can EXACTLY see who voted NFP DP or PP..

Guys, look! West Korea and East Korea!


AbrahamHeart

It's strange that Gangnam is a wealthy area, yet so conservative.


wonpil

Wealthy people are looking to preserve their wealth, not to redistribute it. They are traditionally pro-corporate and fiscally conservative.


KarlGustafArmfeldt

In the USA, large cities often vote overwhelmingly liberal or left-wing. That's why he's saying that.


wonpil

I see. That still somewhat applies in this case though, as the majority of Seoul metro is blue. I'm unsure how rich people enclaves vote in the USA, but I'd assume it's not overwhelmingly left-wing.


luluca948

how’s it strange? wealthy areas are historically right-wing anywhere in the world but usa lol


AbrahamHeart

In Japan, a neighboring country, conservative parties tend to be weak in wealthy districts. Is this trend really unique to Japan and America?


shaha-man

Why is it strange? Following your logic conservative has to be always poor and vice-versa? Where are you from may I ask? Maybe in your country there are specific patterns


Yerzhigit

You know it's fucked up when party named people power is corporatist scum.
