Picturing some Korean lad in full lodge regalia, drum and all. Walks down the street in Seoul calling people Taigs
In case people weren’t aware, the location thing is an estimate and not guaranteed. For example, it tells me my account is based in France. Never been to France, never used a VPN, but somehow I made my account back in 2010 in France and I changed my username 19 times since… which is more rubbish!
Stop promoting these people!

Woah, woah, Korea and Ireland are totally different. On the one hand, you have a divided country, which was divvied up at the behest of invading colonial powers, and has spent decades as the site of a strange proxy war, where much has been made of who can cross what border, resulting in substantial conflict that has historically manifested at the land and sea borders. Issues of trade, governance, and international relations are picked over by foreign powers, and the powers in charge, on both sides of the border, are deeply entrenched and inspire fanatical devotion from their followers which, to an outside observer, feel strange and almost tribal.
On the other hand…
Most of these cartoonishly “provocative” accounts are little more than crudely fashioned foreign troll farm bilge in clumsy fancy dress.
Trolling, now turbo-charged by AI, has become the new drop-shipping: dirt-cheap, low-effort and depressingly lucrative. They swot up on the Cliff Notes of whatever country they are targeting, learn the local neuroses like a language tape and pump out bait designed to hook the nearest hot-headed punter. Cue the ad-revenue cash register going cha-ching.
Frankly, I would not blink if half the shoutiest accounts on this sub turned out to be broadcasting from some offshore boredom bunker. The stuff they post is so broad and so toe-curlingly off that no actual local could hit “submit” without immediately donning a disguise to leave the house.
Funny thing is if you’ve ever seen this boys videos (all right wing shite) he’s clearly someone with absolutely nothing going on in his life whose brain has been fried by culture war shite.
I got a Youtube recommend of one of his videos earlier this month and in it he quite literally complains for an hour and a half about black people in British TV ads.
Assuming he’s actually in Korea it’s funny and sad, a man from Ireland living abroad and complaining about things in Britain.
The North of Korea or the South of Korea??
Id say korea is in the top 5 nodes i get on proton vpn which is prob the most popular free one? They use a vpn?
Protestant Korean or Catholic Korean?
I read about some guy from Sri Lanka who has made six figures just posting AI generated anti-immigration slop that British pensioners are eating up online. Media literacy is so dead.
See, I’ve been tellin yz. I’m not the tin hat brigade.

Korean Billy really took the culture to heart.

Is this not common knowledge? I swear he said at one point that he lives in Korea
My question would be, do VPNs work with this? Either way, definitely doesn’t help their bigoted case.
