  1. Jerusalem Post: "Indeed, I wonder if there has ever been a more Jewish US administration" https://www.jpost.com/opinion/joe-bidens-a-team-of-jewish-advisers-cabinet-members-and-staff-658350
  2. just did a little research and found this pretty quickly. Replace the word "Thai-Chinese" and "CCP" with "Jewish" and "Israel" and you get the claim that questioning Jew's loyalty is anti-semitic.
  3. I think the lesson to be learned from WWII and the dozens of expulsions over the centuries is that if you're a minority ethnic group and you wield disproportionate power over the majority, you may find you earn their ire. If you're on the forum enough in fact you will hear people mention Thai-Chinese elites in Thailand and often it's about how they're not fair to the Thai's. If society started to fall apart in Thailand I wonder if there would be any mass movements against their own ethnic minority elites....
  4. I never said anything of the sort. try to have more nuance when discussing complex issues.
  5. The Biden cabinet in America is 50% Jewish which is a good example. It would be like if the government in Thailand was 50% Chinese yet Chinese only comprising 2% of the population. These kinds of disparities drive conflict and I bet that's what happens to the Jews.
  6. talking with you guys on this topic in painful. Jews can do no wrong. Never did anything wrong or could do anything wrong. Asking question is anti-semitic. You never bother to even explain the other side to any of these conflicts so there's no point of saying anything more.
  7. well I think we're all getting sick of this tired game of calling everything anti-semitic. All people should be held accountable without needing to call anyone anti-this or anti-that.
  8. If I had to guess based on current events I would say there were Jewish elites subverting the majority ethnic group and that led their expulsions. With the holocaust I think it was in the middle of a total war situation and Hitler lost his mind and decided to implement the "final solution". Add the Jews to the list of millions of innocent people that were killed.
  9. That sounds plausible to me. Anytime religions are in close proximity there is a possibility of conflict. But even so Hitler killed Jews and he didn't state that as the reason so why is everyone losing their minds when it's merely stated the reasons he gave himself? Furthermore is anyone aware right now Elon Musk is going to sue the ADL and there is a #BanTheADL hashtag trending on Twitter now? ADL is an explicitly Jewish organization and they've been causing so much trouble for Elon (and other right wing media) he's going to sue them. Question I would have then is, were they doing this in the past and this maybe led to their expulsions?
  10. If Nigerians in Thailand were behaving so badly that the government decided to ban all Nigerian tourists, would it be anti-Nigerian to claim it was due to their own bad behavior or must the only acceptable answer be that Thai's are racist against Nigerians. Not saying that gives Thailand the right to murder Nigerian tourists that wouldn't leave but there's always context to these conflicts and I don't see why Jews get a pass in this regard.
  11. But were they the victims? Oh sorry you can't answer that because the question itself is anti-semitic.
  12. Why do the Jews always end up being persecuted and expelled. Just look at this list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews What is their role in these conflicts? Apparently merely suggesting there may be some reasons besides blind racial hatred is considered offensive (and even illegal in some countries?). For me personally I would like some more nuance in the discussion before I take any side.
  13. Didn't he specifically write this in Mein Kampf? I believe he also stated Jewish communists killed millions of Christian Russians and they would do the same in Germany eventually.
  14. There's enough broken Chinese junk in the world to fill the grand canyon.
  15. it was me muwahahaha
  16. Thanks I'll try that brand too. The problem I have is that without fail one or more of the plugs or USB strip fails and it only takes a few months sometimes. I have had some which survived for years but it seems totally random, like the factory has no quality control (probably).
  17. I ordered a couple $20 ones to try but maybe they're crap too. It's hard to know unless you try them. Powerstrips aren't exactly complicated devices and they should be durable even at cheap(er) price points. I don't know how those Thai bought ones fails so frequently.
  18. Ok, it's staying in the US ???? Thanks guys. The power adapters you get in Thailand are absolute garbage, they break within months without fail. Can anyone recommend a good brand I can get which will work in Thailand? EDIT: ok I see the ones I want on Amazon so I'll try one of those but if anyone can recommend a Thai brand that doesn't suck balls I'd get that too.
  19. sounds like you want a bigger city than CM so going north will only further disappoint you.
  20. may I suggest you have a little compassion for the rest of us who will be affected.
  21. Will this power strip work in Thailand? It says 125v but doing some research on Google it's actually not clear if these will work, catch fire or work but without the surge protector. D
  22. except Trump got elected by millions of people and held massive rallies in stadiums.
  23. I was in the country during this time and I remember it being more like a rival faction arresting their political opponent. I first came to Thailand in 2005 so I missed what happened before this point but It's all very similar to what's happening now to Trump in the US. Basically a non-establishment individual enters the government, despite their best efforts to keep him out, and once they're in the knives are out and they do what ever they can to expel them. I bet they attempted various things before finding this corruption charge that stuck, just like the Russia collusion story that landed on Trump immediately after he took office.
