I started reading because I saw the picture and expected to learn about some pangolin themed dog costume. The actual post has somehow surpassed my expectations and disappointed me at the same time. Idk what to do with that but it’s shaping up to be a wild day on the internet.

That's a bit specious coming from the land of Samsung, Hyundai, LG, etc. etc. The oligarchy is firmly entrenched, here.
Those companies were basically given permission to become monopolies on the 1950s so that Korea could industrialize faster. This legend predates that
Solid pun
I've read my comment like 4 times and I don't see the pun
Predate is a homonym meaning before the current date or the date being referred to, and it’s also a verb that describes the act of predation/being a predator.
you're a poet and don't even know it
The trick is to consolidate wealth keep there amount of rich people below 100. Since it cannot get into heaven, the creature won't even bother eating one of them.
I wish them the best of luck 🙏 there are plenty left to fit his appetite.
Why is there a monster specific to traditional theatre? Does it mean Folklore?
There is a language to traditional theater that is built over time. In highly choreographed plays, it can be useful to have a quick visual signifier for a concept that the audience knows. And costume designers stay busy.
like stock characters in commedia dell'arte
Where do I order one?
So let's have 5 mega conglomerates controlling >50% of the country.
This way it will never have enough to eat a 100 wealthy people and thus gives up before it tries.
* Disclaimer: They are random numbers and have no correlation to anything real.
Eating the rich doesn't also consume their wealth. Doesn't even necessarily redistribute it. Most of the time it just makes another rich person that could be eaten.
Smart move if you want to continue eating rich people!
Keep eating rich people until their wealth makes it out or until the person inheriting it gives it away.
5? I have heard that Samsung is like 70% of their GDP, Hyundai and by extension Kia are also vertically integrated.
Something something national values and governmental ties allow monopolistoc and vertical integrated structures.
Not entirely sure but something like that.
A similar thing goes on with some companies in Japan.
Well...It can go very well and very bad.
eat the rich, yeongno :3!
So a couple of dozen Yeongno should do the job?
Their elite must be fucking terrified of pangolins
They should smuggle a few of those to the US. And Russia. And China. Hell, spread those everywhere
But once there are no rich people left, the yeongnos will be damned to hell 😔
I'm thinking of a Luigi Dexter Hannibal hybrid
Is that a woodpecker? It was the first thing coming to mind as I looked at the picture.
Looks like a pangolin to me.
It could be. Well spotted.
It's supposed to be a proto-dragon of sorts, though some depictions are more lion-like.
