Frankly, it is the first time I opened the " News and Announcements " forum and am really impressed with the
depth and quality of the Socio-Political commentary.
Amongst all the mongering, good to know that we are good
learned company.

... don't know about 'learned company', but amongst our numbers are resident farang and longtime frequent Thai visitors who have a real curiosity about why Thais are the way they are.
... Thais suffer from a whole raft of social disorders found in far less developed nations... many of these social disorders disappeared in modern nations centuries ago during the Age of Enlightenment... living here is like looking into a sociological Petrie dish every day.
... the op-ed writer Voranai is one of the rarest of Thais who can view Thais through a farang lense, is straight enough to call it like it is, and brave enough to put it into print inside of Thailand's partially government controlled media.
... if this interests you, Voranai is required reading.

... Voranai nicely identifies the politaical schism threatening Toxin's control over the Reds... a new concept to oppose traditional Thai patronage politics - ideology
... a powerful concept against which money has no influence... hmm... 'justice'... so... what to do now?
... the conventional Thai solution of bribing their way to win support does not appear to be working with everyone.
... the example might be lost on younger forum members, but what if the US government paid families of those injured and killed at Kent State to make it all go away?. what would you think of the people who accepted that money for the deaths of their children, and dropped all charges?
... that is the Thai way... 'money ideology'... it happens every day here... rich Thai kid, speeding in his daddy's Porsche, cuts a young girl in f***ing half, pays USD 10,000 to the family, and the rich kid is back in the driver's seat of a new Porsche... for those who do not follow the local press, that actually happened here last year.
... but, maybe we are witnessing some for whom a philosophical ideology is now rising above their greed.
... though, guys, I wouldn't worry that Thai whores will soon stop spreading their knees apart for those big farang dongs and a wad of money.
