The Line Crossed
Christopher Pellegrini contributes #2 in a series of excellent pieces on the anti-Lee protests in Seoul . Here's the important part.
The people want change. True, this president was sworn in only a little over a hundred days ago, but they want change again. Serves them right for not voting in the first place.
But the protests of 2008 aren't the protests of yesterday. These protests are being maintained by the well-connected community of regular people that surf the Internet every day (also known as netizens).
Again, how can South Koreans protest the guy they didn't really vote for? It's a convenient excuse, right? But, police just wouldn't stand at the fringes and ask for proof of voting, could they? How many of these younger acolytes of disorder actually thought about their choice 100 days ago? What reality do the netizens inhabit to justify listening to their grievances?
