Nexus of foreigners and politicians trying to weaken country: poll

By THE NATION

 

 

The results of a poll conducted last week found that 82.4 per cent of respondents believe there are foreign stakeholders working with Thai politicians in undermining national security during the current crisis, while 77.1 per cent accused protesters of harassing the people.

 

Asst Prof Noppadon Kannika, the director of Super Poll Research Centre, said the survey on public harassment was carried out from August 20-28 with 5,962 respondents via social media and 1,121 through direct contact.

 

When asked what actions should be considered public harassment, 97.3 per cent of respondents described extreme actions by rioters such as setting people on fire as seen from the Hong Kong riots; 95.6 per cent cited the mob’s obstruction of school activities and forcing students to join the protest; 92.3 per cent mentioned name calling of people having an opposing political viewpoint as “nation haters”; 91.7 per cent spoke of cyber-bullying via social media of people with different political views; 91.4 per cent cited protesters pressuring officials to release lawbreakers; 91.4 per cent cited students who broke school rules while schools were in session; 90.7 per cent mentioned protesters blocking public roads; 90.5 per cent spoke about the cancellation of advertisements to media outlets that have different political views; and 89.8 per cent cited the dismissal of TV hosts with different political views.

 

Noppadon added that the centre had been monitoring the movement of social media users in Thailand during the protest on August 16 and found that 178,034 users in Thailand had taken part in the protest, but when combined with users from overseas the number of participants jumped to 7,928,482 users.

 

“This reveals that the political situation in Thailand could have been more peaceful if there were no interference from overseas, which is planting an illusion of chaos and stirring the emotions of the young generation of Thais,” he said. “I, therefore, would like to urge Thai people to digest news carefully and not fall prey to these agitators who clearly do not want to see Thailand become any stronger.”

Another, probably well paid "professor" with too much time on his hands, and <deleted> all better to do.

The "professor" is sending a loud and clear message-expect it to become even more strident in the months ahead.

wonderful nexus of stupidity, paranoia and racism

[holy cow cm]

Looks like a really severe silencing clamp down under national security is in the wind being drafted.

By foreigners I assume they mean the Chinese?

Does it mention anywhere that the views were taken from people who are at least 90% idiots with no real view of the challenges being faced in their country?

Yes  especially the above bit of "news"  needs to be digested very very carefully. ????

Seriously? Where do they get these BS figures from? Most people outside Thailand don't give a rat's toss what happens in Thailand unless of course they are Thai nationals with some reason to stay outside Thailand!

[trucking]

In an independent survey conducted by myself with many Thai acquaintances it was discovered that.

 

1) 100% percent believed the Thai army possessed weapons of war.

 

2) 95%  believed that the army will at some stage use the said weapons on Thai citizens again in the       future if those citizens continue to press for real democracy

 

3)  100 % believed the current government would continue to cling to power for the foreseeable future.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If true this means Thai people comprised 2.2% of the protesters, with the rest being foreigners. 

 

What?

 

There's weren't even anywhere near 7.9 mil foreigners living here in pre-covid times.

I always say - the source of the predicament Thais find themselves in lies much closer to home, not in "muh guvernment" or "muh farangs".

Is there anyone in Thailand who even knows how to drive a submarine?

I would assume they're talking about the Chinese buying everything.

They're probably right.

 

If they were talking about us the headline would have had 'farang' and not 'foreigners'.

It does'nt matter, they will just be moored at Sattahip next to the disfunctional aircraft carrier and be open for kids on childrens day!

[Saint Nick]

This country is a baskey case!

Just wait, what happens, when the millions of unemployed are finally running out of money and the government still touts these crazy "only zero new cases are good cases"- idiocy and keeps the Golden Goose (tourism) from producing some new shiny eggs!

Thailand is going down a dangerous path!

Quote:  "...users from overseas the number of participants jumped to 7,928,482 users...."

 

I don't buy it.

 

Quote:  "...This reveals that the political situation in Thailand could have been more peaceful if there were no interference from overseas, which is planting an illusion of chaos and stirring the emotions of the young generation of Thais,” he said. “I, therefore, would like to urge Thai people to digest news carefully and not fall prey to these agitators who clearly do not want to see Thailand become any stronger.” ..."

 

Totally loaded - assumes/postulates that 'interference', could easily be assumed as an implied negative. Plus in other words Thai (or anybody) abroad who consider that the situation in Thailand is a dictatorship are troublemakers.

 

And states that the same same folks are 'agitators'.

 

As a professional survey this very seriously breaks all the accepted international protocols of conducting an unbiased survey.

drive?

[Pottinger]

This would be risible if it were not so sinister. History shows that the modus operandi of reactionary forces in Thailand, when faced with dissent, is first to demonise or otherwise try to discredit the opposition through malicious propaganda. Unfortunately, this is usually followed by brute force.
