He has been completely demonized both in school curricula and online, and it feels to me that only in the 2020s have attempts at reevaluation by a handful of "far-rights" and evangelicals (ofc sadly those two demographics overlap significantly in this shithole) begun to spread very slowly among conservatives
But normgroids still regard him as a pro-jap american puppet and the mastermind behind the vote rigging (like it or not, those are all false accusations)
I do not worship him because of his religious inclinations and his personal flaws, but despite being born in medieval confucianistan, he became a liberal in the "Korean Empire," earned degrees from god-tier American universities as the first to do so, yet refused citizenship in Japan, China, or the United States, choosing instead to live stateless and dedicating his entire life to the independence shitfest. This deserves high regard. If one is not an anarchist, they should naturally hold at least a minimum of respect for the founder of their nation, even if that founder was not some saint-ubermensch.
