If Japan was under martial law, would its citizens have defended the National Assembly?

I think the right-wingers were probably there first, escorting the soldiers. Japanese people don’t have as much awareness of ‘their own’ need to protect democracy as Koreans, so it would have ended like someone else would take care of it. The biggest variable that Seok-Yeol Yoon never expected, and what created the current situation, was the sense of resistance of ordinary citizens. Although they only showed 1/10000th of what they were in the 1980s, they ultimately preserved the country’s democracy. How can you not say this is great?
