Those born before 59 years ago, that is, the college enrollment rate of the elderly over the age of 65 was only 20%. Their poverty rate is 40.4%, the highest among OECD countries. Where do the deep frustration, anger, and jealousy felt by the poor elderly come from?

If you find the cause of your unhappiness in yourself, you can say that you are already in the top 10%. However, the majority seek to find the cause of their unhappiness from outside, blame someone, and take solace. Then, who do the poor elderly want to blame the most? It is the activist elite who attended college in the 1980s when they were in their twenties.

Aren't they the wealthy who enjoyed campus romance in college, that is, activist college students in the 1980s? At that time, college students were an elite group in the top 20%, and they still often live happily in good apartments. For the poor elderly, they are bound to be objects of jealousy and hatred, in stark contrast to themselves.

In the 1980s, activist college students led the democratization movement, and are now the mainstay of the political world, especially the Democratic Party. Why do poor elderly people call them the 'Communist Party' and hate them extremely?

When college students who resisted military dictatorship were tortured and arrested during the Chun Doo-hwan administration, the poor elderly might have felt pleasure. Those who thought they enjoyed privileges they did not enjoy may have gained a strange sense of satisfaction from suffering.

This psychological background provides an important clue for understanding the birth background of the far-right elderly people represented by the Taegeukgi unit. Their anger and hatred are likely rooted in personal frustration, jealousy, and past experiences beyond just differences in political beliefs. This suggests that social efforts are needed to understand the psychology of the poor elderly and to relieve their anger.

Their anger even supports martial law.
