Why I call Rhyu Si-min "Senior"
Ever since the 1986 June Struggle
there have been debates between Lee Jin-kyung and Rhyu Si-min
there were times when their positions were the same
and times when they were different
but looking at the big picture
it is because I consider him the political commentator
whose views align most closely with my own
I respect Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun
I think I opposed Moon Jae-in more often
but seeing what Lee Jae-myung is doing now
I think he was much better than Lee Jae-myung
It is also meaningful in that he carried on the tradition of the Democratic Party
I even say Socrates was gay
I dislike Plato
and I don't particularly like Confucius either
I do like Laozi
That is why I sometimes call him "Hyung-nim" (older brother)
I call Foucault or Kuhn "Hyung-nim" because I like them
but I don't even treat Karl Popper as a senior
There are not many people I call "Senior" or "Hyung-nim"
And Lee Jae-myung is definitely not one of them
