Myungbak Lee, who is the current president of South Korea, won the presidential election by deceiving many innocent citizens in South Korea.
Korea has been divided by North and South, and the special circumstances considered, ideology is an important determinant of voting decisions for Korean citizens.
During the presidential election period, Myungbak Lee, a presidential candidate from the conservative side, publicly stated that the poverty of his family made it extremely difficult for him to get into college, and that's what enabled him to have much empathy with the poor in Korea.
He also publicly acknowledged how difficult it is to get out of poverty in South Korea, and he pledged to stop the vicious cycle of poverty by fostering public educations for the poor.
To make a long story short, he suggested the prerequisite for the conservatism, at least moderately equal opportunity for all individuals, absent in South Korea, and therefore, argued against his political position as a conservative.
Myungbak Lee also, during the election period, publicly made a bizarre statement that he would pursue pragmatism transcending ideologies.
Pragmatism highlights the preference for the observable data over theories missing such data, and pragmatism is what liberals generally value more than conservatives do.
Many politicians and scholars on the conservative side as Myungbak Lee made public criticism on his statement such that he was not conservative at all, and they didn't vote for Myungbak Lee. Nevertheless, Myungbak Lee, who showed a bizarre political position where he showed himself as supportive of both conservative and liberal ideologies, won the presidential election by a landslide.
It was bizarre that the leaders in many religious organizations having the same religious belief as Myungbak Lee's didn't make any comments on his bizarre political position, and Myungbak Lee was mistaken for a politician strongly supportive of the policies for the poor, and many innocent followers in the religious organizations, during the election period, suddenly started showing a favorable attitude toward Myungbak Lee.
The christian churches in South Korea kept individuals from choosing what they want, and thus, undermined democracy.
What do you think of it?
Which of the two do you think is more responsible for this kind of corruption in human society, christianity? or collective interests?
