Especially from foreigners who have little or no understanding of the broader culture nor truly care for everyday Thai society [encompasses most phonies here]. Duly appointed internet warriors that speak of things they know nothing or insist that Thailand become more Western in nature.

Sure. Once established, they're quite hearty and resistant to meddling - as numerous varieties of hardwoods are here. Don't over prune.....thinking one is being clever. Allow the trees to be.

The time has come to remove the ruling/elitist classes. We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg presently. Time will tell.

It's obvious, by way of this venue, that most are vested by their imperial/colonial instincts to have Thailand [and other locales worldwide] tow the line of Anglophone reflection and image. Surprised there hasn't been a call for a civilising mission intervention. We'll show the savages how to conduct themselves in the proper. This backward manner and mindset is still the unconscious prime reasons for their pathetic existence......and been practicing it for ages.

Noting as well, during the so called "Malayan Emergency" for Malay independence, the four extreme southern provinces held allegiance to the Malayan cause for rebellion...and betrayed by the powers that be.
