Why the uncomfortable term "Anti-Myung" has been in circulation for over a year

Machine translated

Until now, terms like "Anti-MB" or "Pro-Park" were words used only by political figures;
they were not terms used among the general public, and this was especially true during Democratic administrations.
Now, a very strange phenomenon is occurring where the term "Anti-Myung" is being used
to label impure individuals or groups, much like the term "Commie."
Rhyu Si-min clearly describes this phenomenon in his book "What is the State?",
and I am sharing it here because I found it fascinating.
While explaining Jean-Jacques Rousseau's theory of the state,
he strictly separated the state from the government:
"The government is merely an administrative body that executes the various objectives of the state,
but a government must exist for the will of the state to take effect."
"Because those who constitute the government know well that the will of the state
is expressed through the actions of the people who make up the government, rather than the state itself,
they tend to speak as if they themselves are the government and the state."
"They label those who criticize the personal conduct of the President as 'anti-government,'
and they brand forces that oppose the government as 'anti-state.'
It is a strategy of hiding behind a greater authority to defend oneself."
So this is why they have been so unhesitating in slapping the "Anti-Myung" label on people.
