“Pragmatism” will clash with “idealism” in Thai elections

Even the desperate and soured cynic that I might be, the above comment could be taken in agreement. -
When the farang do gooders take over
zzaa09 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Though, I suspect that such random do-gooders are rather lacking in displays of truer goodness. In practice or theory. I might trust a curmudgeonly cynical type before engaging in such romantic embrace of the do-gooder [whatever that might be] -
What type of Democracy might you be speaking of? Surely, nothing resembling those so called Liberal Democracies [the world over] that truly don't engulf anything democratic whatsoever. These fanciful ideals that are bandied about and referenced to what a Democracy might be are quite amusing. Repeated over and again.

The verdicts and the jail time Thaksin faces in Thailand
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Old traditions are almost impossible to rectify. There's always been an overwhelming military presence/influence throughout these institutions - can't get around it. A people's rebellion might resolve such long standing issues. ......or not. -
Sounds true with the usual romantic visions......but it's not the way it is. Simple observations will suggest that a Thai political free-for-all isn't allowed to exist. It's incredibly restricted, as any and every sort of legitimate opposition will be dismissed [in one manner or another] by the firm hand of the ruling class.

The verdicts and the jail time Thaksin faces in Thailand
zzaa09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
All of which might be somewhat moot...whether he was a scoundrel or not - he didn't pursue coups to gain power. Any such clear charges and judgement of those principles that lead coup d'etats are never pursued, as they pull the strings. Kinda Thai tradition. -
