As bad as North Korea except in the other direction. Literal cyberpunk corpo hellscape, and the people behave horribly towards eachother. It is legitimately the nastiest culture in east asiaAllow me to explain >Buddism which softened many asian cultures was subsumbed by confucism and transactional folk religion (yes this happened in Japan and China aswel but in Japan shame culture acts as a guardrail against overt displays of status, boasting behabior and general evil >South Korea doesnt have those cultural guardrails so while corporate oligarchy exists in both its completely unrestrained in South Korea (very strong counter-balences in Japan)>In China buddism histroically acted as a guardrail but also the states socialist ethos works against the kind of nasty culture you see in SK>South Korea doesnt have these guardrails so raw market ideology took over everything>Christianity was hyjacked by corporate wealth culture - similar to how Buddism was subsumed You can pretty much map out the level of humanity in asian cultrures by the strength of buddism or christianityPhilipines = Very warm personable culture Thailand/Laois = Also very warm Tibet/Butan ect. = Very warm Taiwan = moderate Southern China = Cold commericial Northern China = Cold machine likeNorthern VIetnam = Cold Southern Vietnam = Moderately warm (closer to Thai culture)
