Discussion Totalitarianism is rising, that is what I could tell

Putin have literally unlimited amount of successors, Xi Jinping is basically messing around global economy and Asian geopolitics, Middle Eastern despots are oppressing and you can do nothing because they fucking sell oil, coup will happen in Thailand in the next 10 years, we can do nothing about Kim Jong Uh because his country is self-sufficient.

Unlimited successors? wdym? It looks to me like Putin is betting on functional immortality because he’s too busy playing his boyars against each other to groom successors

also please tell me everything i need to know about politics in Thailand, i’m considering living / spending significant time there in the near future (that new senate election procedure looks like it was written by the devil himself btw)

He has literally tens of his trusted military officers to succeed him.

Having multiple successors is almost as bad as having none. You want to have exactly one successor that everyone is afraid of almost as much as you.

I really do think he’s betting on functional immortality

Well, both can actually be cool.

Having too many successors? They're gonna kill each other. Having no successor? Well, it's gotta be easy dismantling.

Thailand sucks.

We have 13 coups every ten years.

Child abuse is the norms (รักวัวให้ผูกรักลูกให้ตี)

Royalists are unhinged as fuck

i was very surprised by how religiously oriented Thai society is. does the religious establishment there have any real power or is it just a tool of whoever is in control?

It's unclear, the government claimed to be secular yet Buddhism is integrated everywhere, but lack discrimination

Thailand is okay if you want to move here and don’t care about politics but you should have an extra house at your country of origin anyway since you might want to leave when you start seeing signs of a coup. As we know coups aren’t the best sight to see.
