[QUOTE]Demonstrators storm Mendiola on Bonifacio Day, November 30, to urge President Rodrigo Duterte to declare a revolutionary government.
Thousands of protesters gather at historic Mendiola in Manila on November 30, Bonifacio day.
They say they're part of Network Revolution, a unity coalition of various groups and individuals urging strongman President Rodrigo Duterte to declare a revolutionary government or “RevGov.” [/QUOTE]
So like a coup?
So fascism again raises its ugly head - was only a matter of time for the Phillipines, especially with a madman like Duterte in charge. Should he decide to consolidate his power, let's hope he catches a well-deserved bullet. After the number of people he's ordered killed without due process, it'd be poetic.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
On the other hand, these are just his extremist supporters - who I assume are as much of a cult as Trump's - urging him to seize power and eliminate the constitutional obstacles to his regime. If he's smart, he'll ignore them.
To be honest I don't see how Philippines would have decent anti-assassination tools, so he's probably going to. Either that or go the way of Mugabe.
All you have to do is follow the worms.
I fucking hate how 2/3 of the countries I hail from are having huge problems in government. I don't know how India is, and the other two have Pinoy Trump and Trump.
So much for dual-citizenship. Well, can always try to improve my skills and try Canada.
India's got a pretty shrewd and calculating head of state right now, Modi, but said Modi is also a theocrat and an all-round dirtbag. Which in a lot of ways is worse than having a blustering idiot in power.
Remember the ban on selling beef the government instituted? You've got Hindu vigilante squads going around murdering people who are found to sell or eat beef, and all Modi seems to do about it is shrug and go "Well, we don't condone their actions." It's sort of how Trump's election ended up emboldening the Neo-nazi degenerates in the US, only in India it's the religious nutjobs among the Hindu population.
Least he's trying to reform India's economy to make it more competitive with China, for whatever that's worth.
