    I know this is kind of an overused meme, but this does sound like something from 1984 by George Orwell.

    I was raised in the nurturing embrace of the Party, studying without concern for anything in the world.

    However, I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me, and committed acts of ingratitude against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
    The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life.

      When did Korean literacy become so common for soldiers that it’s possible for this to accidentally happen?

        Korean letters are insanely easy to learn, the whole purpose of their alphabet was so even the stupidest farmer could learn it within a week.

        Guessing this is supposed to be a gotcha based on domain, but it’s not. They pretty openly teach people to read so they can read propaganda.

        Of course, if you believe they’re Wakanda IRL maybe that’s just what they say to outsiders to keep them away.
