The curiously awkward geopolitical situation of US expats in Thailand

An empirical rule of humain nature, is that if a country's governance behaves badly, human nature will put all of them in the same basket. Either consciously or unconsciously.

    Many american expats living in thailand who are left learning are total hypocrites.

    @Jingthing appreciated you chiming in for the reach around effect. I certainly hope you return that favor. After all, what are liberal buddies for. You left out one very important point. You said

    The majority American positions I described are not keftist. They are very much mainstrean.

Unfortunately that is often the case.

I have done that myself especially to Europeans but again I didn't intend THIS topic to be about that social part of it.

I have posted topics in the past related to that.

The part that surprises me is the number of Trump fanboys that I run into, particularly Farage Brits and ON Aussies. They actually think Hanson is smart. It is not just the Yanks being conned by Putin.

They criticize our own countries, imploring them to be more left wing/liberal/progressive while reaping the rewards of living in a largely homogenous, socially conservative, nationalistic, patriotic country with strict immigration laws that are largely well enforced.

Says a immigrant obsessed immigrant who imagines Thailand’s control of immigration to be something it clearly is not:

There are approximately 1.8 million undocumented/irregular, or to use your preferred term ‘illegal’ immigrants in Thailand.

I don't know anyone immigrating to Thailand, I'm certainly not. Are you?

I'm not in the country illegally either, are you?

If you came through immigration from overseas you’re an immigrant. It’s why you needed a passport to come into the county and why you report every 90 days to the immigration police.

Focus more on not forgetting to report every 90 days to the immigration police and less on what my immigration status might be.

Remember the weird phase they went through about a year ago. Then it was the taco. Yep groups of grown men all randomly repeating the same slogans at the same time.

Go to the fair, it's one of the largest county fairs in the county.

At least two of the rides I moved will be there for the 43rd and 40th year.

Agreed.

The words they use change as much as the flags they fly.

I get it you’re not a migrant, you’re an expat.

Oops strike 2. I don't live in thailand.

On top of that typical Americans have to somehow manage to digest having a president who often looks to be working for the enemies of the US rather than our allies. Enemies -- Russia, North Korea, Iran.

Trump looks like he's working for Iran?

I did not know that. I thought he was at war with Iran.

This website is very confusing.

Not you.

But..

He's helping Russia

He's helping North Korea

Both are helping Iran win their war with Trump.

Watch the video.

Nobody is saying what Trump does is logical.

He's helping Russia?

Is this the comedy section?

What is happening?

If you don't think he's helping Russia you have zero credibility. Waste of time.

I don't think it will go any better for the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis or Canucks if the SHTF in SEA and Thailand.

A trip to Kanchanaburi is a good reminder.

During WW2, British civilians interned by Thailand were treated well. They were not used as forced labour, and none died. You are confusing them with members of the Singapore garrison and Malaya Command who were captured by the Imperial Japanese Army. It is an absolute slur on Thailand to suggest Thai people supported the abuse and mass killing of Allied POWs.
