Who is the real boggieman?

Not so much about appreciating truth and facts, but much more akin to be deeply conditioned/indoctrinated as to what truth [whatever that is] and facts might be. The base ideals of hard wiring - repeated often and loud enough.

Might try absorbing such by way of a Thai/Thai language source and perspective.......instead of the proverbial and expected "Farang/English-language" fount - which appears to be the acceptable and only gospel as applies to "Thai" news. Does become quite weary when all this is accepted.

Oh yes - to be sure. Captured the collective character quite nicely.

The highly invented and accepted ideal[s] of an IQ can be quite subjective as seen through the eyes of convention. ......and has little to do with everyday common intelligence and knowledge - in which appear in a wide variety that might be applicable in practice, less theoretical. How many MENSA types does it take to crew in a lightbulb? [over thinking doesn't qualify] ????

I believe old Joe, and Americans in general, need to look in the mirror before casting aspersions on others.

Don't they all?

That is....real history. Not the variety that is made up [and easily absorbed] for most of us.

Well...... Some [actually, most] are easily swayed and manipulated these days. Quite obvious within this illustrious venue.

Regulated and over lorded to death. Becoming more akin to the oligarchical West than ever before.

* Thai standards.

Relaxed and indifferent. As in: don't give a rat's backside anymore. Been my observation for a least 10 months - 1 year. Good to see that the Thai officialdom and authorities are up to date with the current groundswell. ????????

Wouldn't it be much more reasonable and practical for the MSM [and convention] to address and clarify what real challenging and question opposition political parties might look? Instead of the dozens of fractured political identities that realistically fall under the same protected loyalist umbrella......????? Progressive Party [former FFP] Commoners Party Social Democratic Party .....and the more than a handful of active/defunct political parties, some of which have morphed into other entities. How about comprehending what the term "opposition" might refer to before repeating the same thing often and loud enough dumbfounded.

I foresee a universal societal turn to a full-on matriarchal/matrilineal existence.......as such is practiced within the more advanced and connected traditional cultures.

Expat insider. A contradictory in terms?

Having a late afternoon Ya Dong as we speak. Here's looking up your old address Mr. Prime minister. ????

Wow. A whole B300????? This should break many pocketbooks. ???? B300 [or even more] will certainly cause much angst, hand wringing and mindless discussion among the trivial mindsets. The end is near.????????

Even more daring and stimulating, what if the greater majority stand pat and refuse to pay any fines in any manner towards such trivial offences - all of which are designed to increase revenue, less about the safety and well being of the population. Whatta they gonna do.......put everyone in jail? Resistance in numbers, baby!

More baffling might be continued and current OTT use of the proverbial HAZMAT suits by particular officialdom in selected airports and hospitals - which appeared to be an extreme and creepy measure reflective of a Huxley futuristic piece, all of which wasn't necessary. In the early [first year] unknown COVID era, the accepted mandates of mitigation and whatnot....OK, no problem. But, the vaccinated era was ushered in and passed by already as well as the scientific understanding that with each generational mutation/strain, the COVID cooties "danger" weakens. Enough with the OTT fear imagery.

An Occidental/Eurocentric affliction, I might add..... ????

Innocent and unaware Farang. Kinda sums up the OP.

These are the types, regardless of how long they've resided here, that still keep to their isolated bubble and aren't aware of what's up and what's not.....

Are these goofballs still subliminally referencing the old domino effect? Oh dear. They certainly don't get it........yet, they never did.

Well.......if the shoe fits. It might be more advisable towards those blind flag-wavers and deluded defending apologists to gather from their slumber and truly comprehend what evil force is historically the most destructive and fanciful......and continues to be. When it really gets down to it, not a culture to be admired.

Gonna guess that the overwhelming percentage are being hospitalized when they truly don't have to be - this has always been the case of the last couple of years.......regardless of generation of strain.
