Tochak Waegu
''Tochak waegu'' () or ''To-wae'' for short, is a South Korean political insult primarily used by South Korean leftists against South Korean conservatives perceived to be pro-Japanese. ''Tochak waegu'' is similar to the terms ''maegukno'' () and ''minjok banyeokja'' (). Political position In South Korea, liberals and leftists tend to be more anti-Japanese than conservatives. The term ''Tochak Waegu'' is commonly used to criticize South Korean conservatives for their relatively favorable foreign policy towards Japan. It is also used as a derogatory term for those who sympathize with the Japanese right or are perceived as too lenient toward Japan, even if they themselves hold anti-Japanese views. As a result, ''Tochak Waegu'' are considered race traitors. Some South Korean scholars argue that defending the policies of the Empire of Japan or promoting historically revisionist views of Imperial Japan should be criminalized. According to them, such measures would have the same le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jjokbari
''Jjokbari'' (, borrowed into Japanese as チョッパリ, ''romaji'' choppari) is a Korean language ethnic slur which may refer to Japanese citizens or people of Japanese ancestry. A variation on the slur, ''ban-jjokbari'', meaning literally "''half-jjokbari''", has been used to refer to mixed Japanese-Korean people, as well as Koreans in Japan who returned to the peninsula. According to one survey, it was South Korea's second-most commonly used slur against Japanese people, ahead of ''wae-nom'' () and behind ''ilbon-nom'' (). The term has also been borrowed into Japanese language spoken by ethnic Koreans in Japan, where it is rendered ''Choppari''. Origin The original meaning is "A cloven foot". ''Jjok'' means a "piece" and ''bal'' means "feet" in Korean, and when combined it roughly translates to "split feet" or "cloven hoof". This etymology Etymology ( ) is the study of the origin and evolution of words—including their constituent units of sound and meanin ...

Chinilpa
From the late 19th century and until 1945, a number of ethnic Koreans worked with the Empire of Japan. Some of these figures contributed to or benefitted from Japan's colonization of Korea, and some actively worked to counter the Korean independence movement. These people are now considered by much of Korea to have been collaborators with Japan, and thus traitors to Korea. Examples of such people include members of the Iljinhoe or Five Eulsa Traitors. Prosecution of collaborators began after the liberation of Korea, although the prosecution was interfered with by the South Korean leader Syngman Rhee. Prosecution returned after the gradual democratization during the 1980s and 1990s. The first anti-collaborator legislation was passed in 2005: the Special Law to Redeem Pro-Japanese Collaborators' Property. () and () are words used to describe collaborators. These terms can be considered derogatory. Terminology The term "" () first appeared in the 1966 book (), written by t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

After the mid-1950s, U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy, who had spearheaded the campaign, gradually lost his public popularity and credibility after several of his accusations were found to be false. The Warren Court, U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren made a series of rulings on civil and political rights that overturned several key laws and legislative directives, and helped bring an end to the Second Red Scare. Historians have suggested since the 1980s that as McCarthy's involvement was less central than that of others, a different and more accurate term should be used instead that more acc ...

Moderate Conservative
Moderate conservatism is a politically moderate version of conservatism that is less demanding than classical conservatism, and can be divided into several subtypes, such as liberal conservatism.
