People who support Cashless Society
The ultimate goal is total control over our lives, and the transfer of wealth (and power) from our pockets into those of an ever-decreasing number of individuals. This is going to happen through the digitalization of every aspect of our life: Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), cashless society, digital ID, digital wallet, face scan, digital footprint and so on. -

I was absolutely mortified at what I witnessed yesterday.
Happily you do not dictate what other posters write, though you do express a certain disdain for any that do not conform to your desired dictats. Au contraire - I enjoy challenges to my ideas, provided they are rooted in fact, intelligence, or knowledge beyond my own. However, my patience for foolishness is limited, and this often comes through in my remarks. I like Thais as much as you, but unlike you I like them the way they are, not as some version of western sheeple. You should stick to telling your Thai family and friends how to live their lives. I prefer see them alive rather than lost needlessly to circumstances that could have been entirely avoided. This is why in these threads I advocate for improved safety measures in these areas rather that throw away flippant remarks such as 'its just the way it is' or 'can't change things'... or 'TiT (this is Thailand)... I firmly believe that such efforts would not diminish the depth, colour, or vibrancy of Thai culture in any way. On the contrary, they could enhance the resilience and well-being of communities. In particular, I would like to see road safety, water safety, and electrical awareness integrated into school curriculums. These areas often account for the highest number of child fatalities, leaving families and communities unnecessarily devastated and fractured. You've simplified and dichotomised your ideology down to a binary pro-Thailand vs ant-Western stance. Thailand’s societal dynamics are far more complex than your comment suggests. The country is not free from state control, as evidenced by strict laws (we cannot discuss), defamation laws, and regulations on public behaviour, which highlight significant government oversight. While Thai people take pride in their cultural identity, it’s inaccurate to claim they universally reject Western influence. In reality, aspects of Western culture are deeply woven into urban life, from fashion and technology to consumer habits. Rather than outright rejection, Thailand demonstrates a nuanced balance, preserving its traditions while selectively embracing global trends - improvement in safety culture will not impact 'Thai culture' as you see it. -
