A million people, yet the place looks cleaner than some gatherings of a few hundred 
You don’t shit on your own doorstep.
Korea’s really setting an example for other democracies. First crushing an unjust power grab and now this
Makes us look like the lazy idiots we are.
Goes to their respectful culture, great trait 👍
How un-American of them
Japan 2.0 In a good way. They care about their country. You can always tell when people care about their country. They treat “public property” as their own, because they know it is.
Edit – I’m sorry for calling it “Japan 2.0”. I really forgot about the history between the two. It wasn’t meant in a bad way.
Love this. I know its a fine line towards too much conformity (social pressure to conform in places like Korea, Japan, etc is tough), but I wish Americans would follow the basic rules of civility and consideration towards others like this so we could have nice things.
It’s all in your upbringing
I think this is honestly just a product of their culture. Japan is very similar. They’re just clean people and I respect the shit out of that.
Owning a venue in the United States, it’s disgusting the day after most events.
Imagine that…having some pride and decency.
Now show the aftermath of a MAGA rally.
Ok but who cleans *that* up?
“Why do Koreans want to preserve their culture rather than being culturally diverse and boosting their economy through mass immigration like the rest of us?”
that’s how society should be
South Korea is cool 😎
Thats how we should protest lol
i hate america
Truly model citizens
This is what basic common sense looks like.
This wouldn’t even happen at a earth day rally in America.
Made me smile.
America could never
This place is cleaner than a gathering of 4 ppl in my city
High-trust, high-conformity culture. Makes sense.
What the fuck i cleaned that same amount of trash from a supermarket today at work💀💀
Fuck I love clean people. There’s more trash strewn around my neighborhood than what’s in this picture, and sometimes I feel like they should just nuke this fuckin town because of all the trash that lives here.
“you know what this picture says to me? Lost jobs. Think of the hundreds of sanitation jobs you can create by just leaving trash wherever you want. Good city government jobs too. With good benefits and 401k plans. I bet small stuff like this causes South Korea to have a bad unemployment rate. You know who doesn’t have a bad unemployment rate? North Korea.”
