SKULL.GIF posted:being a filipino and being worshipful of china is I guess equivalent of being american and reflexively pavlovianly drooling at the mention of the british monarchs the Philippines was literally colonized by Spain and then directly dominated by the US. So they have actual old colonial rulers that match more directly to your comparison. At least choose a relevant Western comparison like southern European countries being worshipful of Germany. I'd disagree with it still, but it'd be less stupid.

To be clear, what I'm saying is that the Philippine government is unlikely to turn hostile to China as a result of the pandemic, because they've put all their eggs into the basket of cooperating with the PRC. I suppose that's similar to Cambodia right now, except with far less ideological alignment. There are people who are opposed to Duterte just rolling over for Beijing on everything, including our explicitly socialist left-wing parties, except none of them have any real political power at the moment. What's likely to happen is that either another pro-China right-winger wins in 2022 to continue this trend started by Duterte, or an anti-China right-winger wins in 2022 by also winning-over enough anti-Duterte liberals to form some shambolic plurality the way Joe Biden has commissioned attack ads on Trump for "letting China off the hook"

I mean, good is debatable, but not terrible. China is right next door and comes knocking every now and again. Maybe not knocking with napalm and liquidating villages(that anyone acknowledges), but they're still dicking around in Vietnam, and that's far less attractive than working with the U.S., especially when the U.S. would rather lose their gradenko_2000 posted:As a Filipino, I wouldn't put the Philippines on the "possible" column. Duterte is leaning hard on establishing amiable relations with the PRC, and while this is fueling a lot of vocal opposition towards him, he controls Congress and the courts. Duterte is breeding a "violence as a first resort" mindset that will see him gunned down by revolutionaries and that will spark a civil war Can't aid China if you're doing a civil war.

I ended up with a 1958 block house with terrazzo floors. Holy poo poo, they do not build houses anywhere near this sturdy anymore. I feel proud to know that, decades after we all die from this virus and humans vanish from the Earth, long after the tract homes have crumbled to drywall dust in the wind, my ugly rear end old block house will still be proudly standing and serving as a home for possums and rats. snoo posted:
I don’t doubt astroturfed protests have the money but as these super spreaders start knocking out their social circles I think it will probably change the mood. Trump supporters sour the moment they feel like they’re not winning. Even he has had problems keeping his rally crowds stoked and focused. Having to skip your wife’s livestream funeral to yell about covid just being a flu is going to result in some weird poo poo.

oh my god 350 peopled died in both 737 max8 crashes combined. Four times that many people died just today, all in the US. I guess the line between "tragedy" and "statistic" is at what, like 5k? Japan's tsunami feels like it is pretty much just a statistic at 16k. People don't even remember the tsunami anymore, just the zero percent chance that the destroyed nuclear reactor might have impacted them. The 2004 tsunami had like 230k deaths, which is definitely a statistic, also we are going to blow past even that

Chuds are powered by the fantasy that there will come an event so catastrophic that they will be able to pull out their guns, shoot people and be heroes. Cold War didn't get to the shores. Al Qaeda and sympathizers never fully engaged on the American streets except in lone incidents. The virus didn't bring them the society-shattering expectations in the ways of broken windows and looters running amock. Just empty grocery stores and closed parks. They're not there to rebuild. Just to fill a power vacuum that won't happen.

I’ve been told stories about how he drives around the philippines on a motorcycle seeking out corruption wearing a helmet that hides his face. they love duterte. it’s the damdest thing. I think he is a terrible thing. but he has a huge amount of popular support.
