Easier to understand an American living abroad and caring about the U.S., than an American living in the U.S., yet spending their time posting to people in foreign countries, trying to convince them that their god is the one true god. Don’t you have any friends around you that you can still talk to, or have they all abandoned you, because they can see with their own eyes, and feel with their own wallets, just what is going on in America today because of the current administration?

Americans could feel what was going on two years ago that's why Trump was elected, and why Rubio will be elected in 2028. Not so much anything special about them and more about the obvious shortcomings of your ideology

Globalists made your country suck so you come to Thailand and promote globalism? ASIA WILL NEVER BECOME WOKE IN YOUR LIFETIME.

You Europeans and Australians and Canadians that come to Asia and be liberal are you lacking brain cells or what? Still haven't figured out your own best interest so you tell Asia what's in their best interest? Is that why you left your country?

1. Who promotes globalism here? Ah, the wokes...

2. Who is woke? Ah, everybody who disagrees with the politics of the white house administration. So it must be quite frustrating for you to be surrounded by so many wokes.

3. I grew up in a liberal country. That's why I was able to retire before I got 60, because I earned enough money to stop working for a company. If I would have lacking brain cells, I would still be working.

4. Who here in this forum tells "Asia" (Thailand) what's in their best interest? As this forum hardly has any Thais, Thai politics are not in the spotlight. So nobody here as far as I know tells any Thai what they should do - or not.

The bottom line is this: you are just spouting hot air. I could draw a conclusion from that, but you’d just dismiss it as woke.

Leave your woke and feminist garbage at home.

Leave Thailand alone.

To me Liberal Socialists (like you) are far right.

None of you want to discuss land redistribution or the end of inherited wealth.

Makes sense on paper BUT who gets to choose the conditions of land redistribution?
Who would reallocate the weealth left by the dead?

Would ithat be Andy <deleted> Burnham or whichever clown is currently in charge over there?
or maybe Jesus?

Surely youre better than falling for mArXisM.

Seems impossible to break the news to boomers but Trump is just a front man for the Financial, Miltary and Technological Industrial Complexes.

Main problem is usary and the creation of money from thin air (ie Banking - whenever anyone takes a loan that money is created from thin air).
As long as Bankers can print 'money' from nothing politicians will remain hoookers.

As I said before I was at a Greens Left Liberal meeting the other night where the speaker had made an Ai video of the future

where a Gay male couple were having coffee with a Muslim couple and their trans child was playing with the Muslim child , this is the beautiful future !!!!

Explains most people are completely brainwashed - their opinions are NOT their own (at approx 54 minutes).

NPCs just repeat stuff to appear informed and virtuous. Even 'intelligent' people can fall into this trap.

Don't kill Granny! We MUSt lockdown! Slava Ukraine! We need to remove Saddam! Diversity izour Strenf!

The gay male couple must consist of a black and a white, and you've mentioned nothing of anyone in a wheelchair. How do you consider this an example of futuristic diversity?

What was the name of that American anti-globalist who used to rant on these social media platforms in Thailand. Had an Italian surname and also was connected with that anti-globalist network (something 'clearing house') in Canada? I ask because this OP really writes like that guy.

Americans haven't known what's going on since the 1960s when we tried to radically change things. The authorities will never let the 60s happen again.

Well if you remember that you must be old as hell. Are you rich like soros and can watch the world burn as you sit in your ivory tower? If not why do you support this? Nobody wins except those who are insulated. And since you are here I think you are not. You will be suffering the same as the rest of us common folk

You beat me to it @Schoggibueb as I was going to post exactly the same as you have done, this after a nonsensical rant by a MAGA poster, and I say nonsensical because what he was basically saying is exactly what you said – – if you don't agree with Trump and the White House administration, then you are a lefty/woke!

But then again who would really want to agree with Trump and co because he is a compulsive liar, a convicted rapist, a conman and a grifter par excellence and probably a pedophile and the poster has probably got a red MAGA hat (made in China), cheap sneakers made in China along with a watch which has the word, "RUMP" on it instead of the orange clown's name, and has a mobile phone on order!

I, like probably many other posters who don't like the GOP administration or Trump for that matter, are not lefties, just people who can see what's really happening and how the dumb followers are being conned, but don't really know it. These followers are not the "sharpest knives in the drawer" which seems to reflect on the quality of the posts seen here from Trump supporters and this pic really does sum it up.....

Why do you think radical change requires violence? I don't see it that way at all. I think peaceful change can come from within.

But if we're stuck in a rut, we can never serve ordinary people. As it is, govts only seem to serve fatcats and, yes, I'm not one, though somewhat protected as an academic.

So, why do you predict common suffering?

The US has become such a worldwide joke that I'm thinking about ordering a Trump passport as a novelty item if I last the next ten years. My US book still has nine years on it but a couple of hundred bucks would be worth the laugh I'd get every time I opened it! I wonder what percentage Diaper Don is getting from them.

Let me just get this out of the way...I really don't think the OP is a Harvard grad. Even a legacy would have a better grasp on reality.....in my opinion. If he or she really is a grad, perhaps we'll meet up at the next alumni function. I'll buy her a Shirley Temple.

I can't quite figure out what "wokeness" Europeans, Aussies and Canadians are trying to impose on Thailand. For example, the first time I came to Thailand, I noticed there were lots of what the West now calls "trans" people (ladyboys and Ka-toeys), or certainly the West includes them in the long alphabet of designations for those who have a range of gender or sexual preferences. I noticed instantly how integrated such people were in Thai society and how the average Thai not only couldn't care less that a born male dressed and acted with extreme femininity, but treated everyone with equal respect. Then there are the females who look and act particularly masculine, which the Thais call "Toms". Nobody singles them out as peculiar of abnormal either. They simply live their lives the way they like, and are accepted by Thai society.

The Thais were "woke" long before closet gays like Lindsey Graham, Speaker Mike Johnson, Josh Hawley, Stephen Miller, etc., started ranting about "wokeness" in the US. If anything, one might argue Thai sentiments filtered through to the West and became mainstream.

Now as for this Forum site and the Trump material, two points: someone has already pointed out that the most prolific thread creator is about as obsessed with Trump as anyone anywhere, and also seems to live in constant fear of "lefties" and some creatures he in constant error calls Communist or Socialist. Obviously he has no understanding of other of those ideologies; they are just epithets to him, thrown at those who do not worship the clearly demented Trump (How are those cases against the Reflecting Pool "vandals" going? The MAGAs all accepted Trump's lunatic rants as gospel, yet now the charges against the supposed vandals have been dropped.)

In the many Trump threads, the same people who criticize the threads are ever present in each and every one of those threads, offering nothing of substance, but rather just trying to attack people who see Trump's corruption and insanity and self-dealing clearly.

Makes one wonder why so many people still risk their lives or spend their last penny trying to get there. Some things in the US are a joke, just like in your country and every other, but the American Dream is still alive and available.

If you don't feel equally sympathetic for white British men as the third world you want to bring to them then why waste my time with those who are incapable of seeing more than one perspective. As an academic you should be able to see as many perspectives as a non academic non expert non privileged yet you are nowhere near my level. If you don't get it or understand I don't have time to explain it to you and you're too old to think a different way at this point.

Don't weep for these men as southeast Asia will always be available to them. But why should they not get to have their own country? Because of their ancestors? Are people with white skin lesser to you for some reason? Like they deserve bad things to happen to them? Only way someone would think that is by consuming too much media, looking at opinions of others, not enough self research, time not spent thinking critically, AKA an academic. A Harvard grad. They are too busy to take the time to actually think about something

Farangs would start dictating how Thailand should run the country.

Like they try to do if the buy a condo. Try and get on the management committee or whatever it is called only to be told by Thai owners to go away.

That would be after Muslims had revoked Surah Al-A'raf (7:80-84) then?
