And the relevance of the above response to my post etc is what?

If it happens, then is it still claptrap?

Absolutely.  The problem is, by shutting down discussions, nothing really gets resolved and it just divides people further.

A man wearing a Bra and an old woman wearing a school uniform not raise questions? Move along would be a great name for a political party.

Maybe Move Forward is the woke party. Do you have a problem with that?

resoultion is not the goal however. The idea is to silence one side of the discussion in the name of righteousness by any means necessary.

It is obvious that the Move Forward party has socialist leanings and will cater to anyone that will support it. Its all about money in Thailand, nothing else matters.

Well, I thought this transparent bit of propaganda wouldn't fool a child. I guess I was wrong, or are you a child?

What is so difficult to understand the Bra-thingy? Does it really need a lot of IQ to understand?

 

If the posters here really live in TH and understand the country I also have to question IQ on some of the postings I read here…unbelievable some of it…

Anyone who still thinks MFP will form the next government, will be in for a disappointment.

The hammer and sickle represent communism, which most people have a problem with, as they should.

Indeed but there's nothing but admiration towards their communist neighbour-but-one? Imagine the response "up north" during the Foreign Ministry press Q&A: "How do you feel about Thailand dissolving the MFP by making comparisons with the same symbol as the CCP Mr Wenbin???"......

This whole witch hunt has now reached kindergarten level.

Agreed, but it probably means MFP have no hope of forming a government notwithstanding the kindergarten level to which the debate has sunk.

Unfortunately, there's one symbol that trumps them all. $$$$

I like them, but I'll be interested to see if they can reduce inequality without raising (or introducing) taxes that are significant and unpopular.

Perhaps their appraoch will not rely so much on taxes.

There is the distinct possibility that the artist who created this piece had not the slightest idea as to "meaning" of the symbols. I could see googling forward, progressive, socialist & looking at "images". Grab a few and toss together and there you have it.

Think of the "superhero" mural up in Chiang Mai (oops... Chula...supposedly some of best educated upper class in country) a few years back that had Hitler in the mix. Clueless bunch here, got to keep that in mind.

Other day in mall some young guy had tee shirt with large Nazi flag on back... I asked about it (& Hitler on front)... He said "I know about..... Fashion". WTH? I should have quizzed him further...

They just don't have the same understanding of it that we (Westerners) have.

 

Think about people in Western countries with pictures of Che Guevara or Chairman Mao on their bedroom walls.  Anyone who directly suffered under these people would probably feel the same way a European does when they see Asians dressing up as Nazis for a school event.

 

There's kind of a disconnect when it happens to "other people".

Does the hammer and sickle not symbolize communism?
