I agree, but most Thais are not patriotic. Rather, they are nationalistic. Huge difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Does the concept of 'Separation of Powers' enter the thoughts of this bunch? In Australia for example it is defined as: "The doctrine of the separation of powers in Australia divides the institutions of government into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The legislature makes the laws; the executive put the laws into operation; and the judiciary interprets the laws." Reading the original article, in particular the reply from Mr P to his mentor, he appears to have a completely alternative view.

boonrawdcnx Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 of course , they are the ones who placed him in power ….They where also the ones who put Thaksin in power ....until he became so popular that they lost control of him.

In the context of such world-beating venality and corruption, it does come across as particularly egregious here in the Land Of Solipsism/Sycophantry/Sanctimoniousness/All of the Above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramr Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Though sycophantry is the only charge I would level at Thais in general vs. the politicians/elite, who definitely win the trifecta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
