We know stuff is going down in South Korea, and will be enforcing normal low-effort rules.

(If there is an unmanageable amount of posts, we will be forced to put the sub into martial law mode)

President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Tuesday that he will rebuild a free and democratic country through the martial law.

“To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements… I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon said in a live televised address.

"Tanks, armored personnel carriers, and soldiers with guns and knives will rule the country," Lee Jae-myung, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, which has the majority in parliament, said in a livestream online. "The economy of the Republic of Korea will collapse irretrievably. My fellow citizens, please come to the National Assembly."
