In all seriousness, they have ***** up big time. You don't want to be on Anonymous radar for any reason. After continual lying and making a 180 from their original statements (as if we can't just Google what was said and see the original plan WAS to build the gateway, not just discuss it) they have exposed themselves and deserve everything they get from now on.

Moral of the story, this isn't 1976 or 1991. You can't fuck with peoples freedom the way you used to in 2015. With social media and the internet it's a different world that we live in. The sooner they realize they are not as strong and never will be as strong as they were 25+ years ago the better. I just don't see that happening though, ignorance is bliss.

Not so long ago, a website that's banned in Thailand gave a rundown of the people behind the present Junta. Basically it's a group of about 20 retired generals, admirals and air marshalls between the ages of 75 and 95. I doubt if a single one of them has an internet account or the slightest idea of the concept of "social media".

Conversely, because it's on a website doesn't necessarily make it untrue.

Thailand is basically ruled by a handful of selfish, corrupt and disconnected old men and 'Hi-So's' and on top of that you have the asian 'sex culture'.
It's a total mess.

I do live here.

But not such a "total mess" that you prefer living here to living in your country of origin?

That would make allot of sense. People between the age of 75 and 95 are not going to change, remember the Thailand of the past and the days when they could do anything they wanted with anyone and there would be no backlash and nobody would know. Seems to me that some of the best countries are ran by Presidents/Prime Ministers in their 40's, people with one foot in the future instead of one foot in the past lusting for the days of yore!
