[ K trendy NEWS = Choi Jeong-cheol's miscellaneous learning ] Since human history, the words of dictators have been mostly miserable. Dictatorship can be divided into the people-seeking dictatorship, the power-seeking dictatorship, the fanatical dictatorship that destroys mankind, and the incompetent dictatorship that destroys the state. Dictatorships can be divided into types, but the consensus is that any dictatorship commits a terrible sin that puts everyone in pain.
The representative dictator of the people-seeking type was Julius Caesar of ancient Rome. Crassus and Pompey had built a triumvirate system, and when Crassus was killed in the war with the Parthian Empire in Curry, Turkey, he led an army across the Rubicon River to attack and defeat his rival Pompeius, becoming dictator for life.
He abolished the republican government and implemented popular-first reform politics with a centralized, one-man rule, and won the support of the people. North Korea's Kim Il-sung was also respected by the people, such as economically and nationally ahead of the South, and after his death, he still remains as a North Korean god.
A representative figure of a power-seeking dictator can be found first in Asia. If King Eun Ju, Queen Zhu and his grandson King Yu were pioneering dictators, then Suyangje, the post-apocalyptic emperor of the southern dynasty Yusong, and King Geum Haerungyang succeeded in brutal dictatorships. Such dictatorial DNA of the Central Yuan has been passed down to Mao Zedong and today's Xi Jinping.

Europe's power-seeking dictatorship began in the Roman Empire, which abolished the republic in 27 BC and started as an imperial state. Emperor Domitian was paranoid and tried to maintain his absolute power by killing the senators. He idolized himself by forcing the people to call him God, and he brutally oppressed Christians who opposed it. Emperor Nero was no less a tyrant. He even killed his brothers, his mother, his wife, and other relatives to maintain power, and Christians were persecuted by massacre.
In the Middle Ages in England, King Charles I, who mistook himself for God's selector, Richard III, and James II, etc. rose above the law and wielded absolute power. As soon as Peter III became emperor of Russia in 1762, as soon as he ascended to power, he oppressed the nobility, the priests, the army, the people, and the church as enemies. At the end of the Seven Years' War between the Austrian Habsburgs and Prussia, he openly sided with the Habsburgs, killing many people in the war between other nations.

In 1944, Mikhail I saved Romania from the nightmare of dictatorship, but Ceausescu, a vicious secret police officer, ruled Romania from 1965 to 1989 as a totalitarian regime, once again suffering tyranny and human rights violations. In particular, he embezzled loans from foreign countries and gave no economic benefits to the people, making Romania the only starving country in Europe.
Iraq's Saddam Hussein, who came to power in 1979, thoroughly annihilated the Iraqi people's human rights through his unique rule of terror. After having been in power for more than 20 years, he was arrested and hanged after being routed during the invasion of the United States.

Even our ancestors had a vicious dictator. First, we can name King Mobon, King Cha the Great, and King Bongsang of Goryeo, who ascended the throne after winning the supremacy with his half-brother Prince Hodong. In Baekje, King Uija, who caused the collapse of Baekje, was mentioned, and among the kings of Goryeo, Myeonggun Gwangjong, who established the foundation of the nation at the beginning of the country, was also a dictator who practiced tyranny.
In the late Goryeo Dynasty, King Chunghye was a monarch. Joseon can present Taejong as a tyrannical monarch, who even killed his brothers to seize power. After ascending to the throne, he even executed his brother-in-laws to thoroughly block the calls of his outsiders, trying to maintain the power of the royal family.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 20th century was the era of fanatical dictators. It is the cause of World War II, the greatest war that mankind has ever suffered. Since ancient times, the Emperor of Japan has been merely a symbolic entity without any power. From the mid-19th century after the Meiji Restoration, the de facto monarch of Japan was the prime minister.
Hideki Tojo, who served as Prime Minister from 1941 to 1944, started the Pacific War, killing thousands of civilians and POWs to death of starvation, and making thousands of women as comfort women for the Japanese military. Hitler dragged Europe into a war hell, sacrificing close to 70 million innocent lives and ravaging countless countries

His anti-Semitic policy was the worst tragedy of mankind, killing 6 million Jews. In Italy, Mussolini maintained absolute power for 22 years as a fascist dictator. He followed the instructions of Hitler, the head of the Axis powers, to mercilessly suppressed the Jews in Italy.
There were quite a few dictators who put the country in crisis through incompetence. After the death of Marcus Aurelius, the last emperor of the Five Emperors who led the peace of the Roman Empire, who wrote 『Meditations』, Commodus, who succeeded his father as emperor, fell into a gladiator game and did not take care of affairs. He was furious when her sister Lucilla tried to assassinate him, so he executed Lucilla and her fellow senators. .
The last emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, has plunged Russia into chaos since he came to power in 1894. When citizens revolted due to famine, rising prices and oppression of workers, he fled to the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and found only a single trace of an incompetent monarch. seemed The Revolutionary Army, who had succeeded in the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, imprisoned him in the Yekaterinburg region, but when he heard that the White Army supporting the emperor was coming to rescue him, they mercilessly shot and mercilessly executed the entire emperor's family.

There was also a great incompetent monarch in Joseon, so it is Yeonsangun. In the early days of his reign, he made great achievements, such as strengthening the national defense force and helping the poor, but gradually fell into luxury and pleasure as he went through chaos and sudden death. He carried out the grand construction of building about 3,000 halls in Changdeokgung and Gyeongbokgung, and also carried out the reckless construction of mobilizing 500,000 workers to draw water from the Hangang River in Mangwonjeong, Mapo, through Changuimun, which was the northwestern gate of the capital, to the keep in front of Geunjeongjeon.
Chae Hongsa (採紅使) was sent to all over the country to find famous gisaengs and classified them into Unpyeong (運平), Gaheungcheong (假興淸), and Heungcheong (興淸) to enjoy the performance. Jang Nok-soo is a woman from Heungcheong who was selected as her concubine by Yeonsan-gun, and was involved in government affairs. When we think of Yeonsan-gun and Jang Noksu in the 21st century, the phrase “history repeats itself” comes to mind.
If there is a dictator in Korea today, it is the huge media and fandom culture. The media, ignoring fairness and neutrality, are wielding a sword of scheming instead of criticism. The so-called Chinmun, the Taegeukgi unit, the Gwangshin Christian Church, and the pseudo-teacher are beyond common sense. This is a shameful self-portrait of this era.
