    Wow!
    Wow!
    Wow!

    Looks like sh!t just got real in Philippines. Some countries are sliding into dictatorships with Coronavirus being an excuse.
    I wonder if the world will change after this virus is over.

    I wonder what would happen if the US government tried to do that. I think it would end with civil war. I’m glad we have 2nd amendment.

    He has had vigilante death squads running amok for a few years now. If they think you're a druggy, you're dead. He even bragged about having committed cold-blooded murder himself.

    Trump praised his efforts.

    Ask yourself what Hillary would have done if she was elected instead of Trump... echos of Duterte. Narrow escape for the US, but the danger is far from over.

    Yet another Trumper with Hill-Dog on the brain. Seriously, y’all grant her so much of your brain space. How many time you figure she crosses your mind on a given day? Honestly the only times I ever think about her is when you lot ponder all the ways she’d have destroyed the US by now.

    I agree with you. Since we have mini-Stalins running all over the place as governors. Duerte has long violated human rights, but he now serves as a warning for all of us, where this could go if we don't balance safety with liberty. Instead of sacrificing liberty for security.

    What liberties are being sacrificed for safety?

    Well this is probably the lowest quality post on the site.... there is nothing of value, yet you believe yourself superior. And isn't that typical for a leftwinger.... full of arrogance but when it comes down to it there's nothing there at all.

    Is anyone surprised to see this coming from a democratic socialist?

    A pointless post about a pointless post, degrading the value because it’s a pointless post while Insinuating a superiority complex and in the same breath trying to degrade their opinion because they have a different political opinion than you.

    Talk about facepalm epicness.
    so much irony in a post it’s humorous.

    I did put some effort in. Must be a shame to be insulted by your own actions.

    This guy is dangerous asf, but some say it's a good fit for the Philippines.
    Anyway he is a typical Filipino. That's what comes out of that society, so I'm not surprised.

    But is covid more dangerous than him for the Philippines?

    Do we allow the state to totally dictate what we do during pandemics?

    Philosophical, sacrifing some to save all others is better than for all to die.


    As for hunger, I doubt the fact that PH even produces its own food without a global pandemic.

    Let's see, comparing where I live:

    Phillipines VS shitty eu country

    Arable land 17% vs 40%
    Population: 105 millions vs 19 millions
    Human density: 952 ppl/ mi2 vs 216

    I don't even want to discuss ownership, in my case, my people have one of the highest ownership of homes and land in the world.
    Most of the families owns typically 2 houses and land, part of the communist give away and post comunism repatriations. They ended up with what communism gave for free and got back what was stolen.


    Filipino math doesn't add up but it's no surprise.
    In most places on the globe, hunger will be big if the pandemic continues.

    Flattery will get you everywhere.

    Seriously though, what’s with the obsession I see here?

    People are free to commune with each other and share their views from the safety of quarantine. People are still free to exercise their rights, they just need to do so intelligently.

    And how is this that much different that the mayor of LA Garcetti who is paying folks to snitch on folks who aren't following the orders... It's just a matter of time before this petty little dictator starts feeling his oats...
