That is the difference between a South Korean and a Pakistani - they will be willing to be squashed and still show up in majority. In Pakistan only 2% will show up and the rest will shrug shoulders to try and live their lives in the new smaller box built for them.

Not exactly but it also goes on the spirit - that is a peoples that knows and believes in their rights -
Karachi has Karachi crowd - fighting against Ayub, standing up to Bhutto , then Zia.
Islamabad is all elite, retired government employees or transplants. It major population feed is from the province that doesn’t want to stand up. The crowd for PTi came from the west - Lahore barely sent some while anyone else who could send couldn’t be bothered - they accept rule since Alexander.

Korea martial law , push back shows
They reverted their martial law in 24 hours
Their people shut down the 12 o clock Courts
Mean while our Real Prime Minister Imran Khan is detained for 500+ days with 10,000 people missing
The decay of Police and Ranger
After killing 300-400 people and hiding their bodies claiming nothing happened on night for 3 hours machine gun and snipers were active

It’s natural and illuminating to make comparisons with a better process and system, in this case South Korea.
The nerd in me however can’t resist pointing out that South Korea’s has been a violent political journey, dominated by military dictators. They’ve had brutal massacres of protestors as recently as 1980.
That said, they’ve been more or less on a more stable path since the 90s. However the fact that their President tried to impose martial law suggests that the old violent, dictatorial strains on their system haven’t yet vanished.

There is no "old violent, dictatorial strains on their system". It is just one crazy guy collapsed under pressure and lost his mind. The 'system' quickly recovered in less than 24 hours. A successful 'system' should have the resiliency to operate even if a component or two break down occasionally. If your battery dies when you are driving your car, it is reasonable that car may stop. But what it should not do is explode.
