Where do you witness brutal repression?

Expect a merger before long....

Yet, it's the traditional rulers [aka, the crooks and criminals] that continuously rewrite/modify such laws and constitution[s] to fit and better themselves......always manipulated to maintain the deepest status quo. It's a cycle that appears to be impossible to break.

Sensitive pansies. Avoid torrid zone conditions if one isn't accustom or easily offended by such. Tropical situations have remained the same for ages. Not a revelation.

Ignorance and a prevailing narrative for 3+ years.

Marching in the streets accomplishes little. A solid and collective [on a grand scale] general strike has proven, historically, to be quite effective in most instances.

Not since 1861

Hmmm.... Lovely. Is she spoken for?

...but a lovely old man's smile.

I'm sure the Party of Silly Walks will be in the top mix. Always popular.

Lockdown eminent -

I don't believe the elderly General would recognize a true democratic state if it came up and tweaked him in the nose.

Even more precise, the Occidental interpretation of what kharma might or might not be is rather amusing.

That would be my guess. Expect something along these lines if things don't go their way.

The phase of rocking the boat.....cautiously. Let's see where this goes.

Only applies to the beautiful and comfortable class.

Actually, if they were honest with themselves, might understand that such practices go back numerous decades. Tradition.

All of which could've easily manifested under any such individual/government.......because they have.

Yet, the good Thai population has been under the thumb of military governments for generations [even under faux civilian varieties] and has remained societally stable for the duration. From the looks of it, and particular prognostication forthcoming, we'll be witnessing another possible surface civilian government influenced by the usual shadowy/clandestine military twist. For those having dreamy hopes of removing a military bond to government and associated - I might suggest that one digs deeper into the reality of how the machinery operates.

Normal. Whatever that is. When in doubt, just avoid 'em. A much richer life is to be had by non-association.
