Siyempre wala

ANG problemang trapik sa Metro Manila ay problema ng tao, hindi kotse. Mantakin mong napakaraming meyor ang nag-dedecide tungkol sa traffic flow at traffic harbingers sa metropolis na ito at kailangan silang konsultahin lahat ng MMDA at sumang-ayon sa bawat panukala ng nasabing ahensiya.
    Iisa lang ang meyor ng New York City at mas malaki ang land area ng New York City (hindi pa kasama ang water area) kaysa sa total area ng buong Metro Manila! Matrapik din sa New York City, ngunit walang napakaraming meyor na kailangan konsultahin at kumbinsihin.
    May gagawin ba si Presidente Duterte o ang Konggreso sa problemang ito? Siyempre wala! [S / -I]

A BAR TOPNOTCHER'S MOMENT OF IDIOCY


photo from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Koko_Pimentel.jpg


KOKO PIMENTEL to 2016 losers: Move on, Duterte is our president up to 2022. Pimentel said this in reply to rumors about an oust-Duterte campaign. . . .
    Well, it would seem with this that Pimentel is not interested in introducing a bill that would create a law for the conduct of a recall election for any president, or calling for a charter change to a parliamentary system with a regular vote-of-confidence call, as he did not mention any of these in his critique as possible options for the future, a future freed finally from the dictatorial tendencies of our presidential system.
    It would also seem that Pimentel is intent on merely preaching acquiescence to all the whims of an elected official within his term, and on preaching as well the ideal that all the people can and must do is "move on", that is to say, take all the blows when they don't like what their president is doing anymore, likely believing perhaps that the people's mistake at electing that president can only be their punishment---thus his sermon practically saying we must allow a president to do as he pleases with the nation and country he was elected to be the sole brain of for a term, with nary a complaint from us towards any form of bloodbath this president might be imposing.
    If I got Koko Pimentel correctly with this reading of his statement, then I would be inclined to believe in his idiocy towards the concept of democracy. I wonder if his version of democracy is what informs the "Demokratiko Pilipino" phrase in his party's name, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino. He might be reminded that "revolution" is part and parcel of the demos + kratos (democratic) concept, if demos + kratos is to be clarified to his kokote (grey matter) as "the people's rule". Otherwise, he would be well advised to change his party's name to Partido Dutertards ng Pilipinas. [S / -I]

A VOZHDIST VERSION FROM MESSIANIST AVERSION


from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ronald_dela_Rosa_073116_(cropped).jpg

ENOUGH already with this propaganda crap shit that argues thus, to brainwash us all into the supposed virtue of leaderism:
    "Magpasalamat kayo dapat sa amin kaysa mag-criticize sa War on Drugs kasi nakikinabang din kayo sa new peace and order situation. Huwag maging ingrato."
    Unang-una po, criticizing a manner of fighting the illegal drugs industry is not necessarily a criticism of the overall rationale for fighting the illegal-drugs trade. . . .
    
Pangalawa, pointing out consequences of a certain manner of fighting the illegal-drugs trade may be meant to be corrective for that fight, not destructive to the same. . . .
    
I hope malinaw/maliwanag.
    
In short, magpasalamat dapat tayo sa kritisismo sa mga prosesong ginagamit sa War on Drugs dahil ang mga kritisismong ito ay maaaring makatulong sa paghubog (o pagpanatili man) ng isang magandang imahe para sa giyerang ito; ito ang imaheng makapagbubuklod sa lahat ng ayaw sa illegal drugs.
    
Conversely, ang pagiging averse sa kritisismo ay pagsang-ayon sa konsepto na dapat sumunod na lang ang lahat sa iisang matalinong nag-iisip na hari para sa giyera "niyang" ito, kahit pa nakikita ng marami (o ng iilang kritiko) na ang proseso o metodolihiya ng hari ay nakasisira sa sarili "niyang" giyera.
    
Unless of course ang totoo ay hindi seryoso sa pagpuksa sa illegal drugs ang giyerang ito at may ibang objective, say, creating a culture of fear lamang for the attainment of an obedient (because frightened) nation. If that is the case kasi, then dapat nga natin maintindihan kung bakit tila may bersyon na ganito sa war on drugs, isang bersyon na marahil ay anak ng isang aversion sa kritisismo na may pagkiling din sa isang vozhdist o messianist na uri ng gratitude para sa iisang nag-iisip para sa lahat.
