You know what they say about homophobic people.
That guy is hilarious. Betcha heās still gay!
Itās not gay if youāre the top. Ask anybody who was in prison.
Itās hard to tell if anything this guy says is even halfway truthful or if heās just doing a stream-of-consciousness standup routine. If Lenny Bruce had been a halfwitted psychopath, he would have sounded like Duterte.
That explains so muchā¦ Sometimes those bullied takes on the role of bullies to protect themselvesā¦
This is the same halfwit who said, among his other gems, āAs long as there are many beautiful women, there will be more rape cases.ā
Itās disheartening how many idiotic grifters become political leaders. It seems no country is immune. But whatās more amazing is the multitude of citizens who abandon rational thinking and support these leaders.
So it can be cured.
Seriously thatās like saying I was born a certain skin color but now Iām cured by changing it.
Either heās bi or was just experimenting.
Thereās an unwarranted assumption in there somewhere, I think
I doubt itās either one. Heās just making shit up. Have you listened to him talk? Itās like listening to the local wetbrain around closing time at the pub. Just a jumble of mumbles, with no apparent logical thread or connection to terrestrial reality.
People seem to like him there though.
Because he focused on violent crime, which is then understandable.
If all pols are corrupt it may make sense.
It doesnāt work that way.
Think it through. You canāt bully someone whoās bigger and tougher than you. Bullying can only go one way. Itās hierarchical.
From what I know, he has cleaned up the streets. But I can endorse the way he did it. Rule of law is needed in a democracy.
You surely meant ācanātā in the above, right?
He didnāt really. He got rid of some of the most prominent (and a lot of low-level scumbags), but the general ethos of life is unchanged. The guys at the top, or in political office, still carry on committing crimes. Theyāve just changed their business model a bit. The guys at the bottom still wander around the neighbourhood stealing, and they still get their drugs from somewhere. Theyāre just more careful about who they buy from. All of the structural problems that are the root cause of all this are still there.
The problem is that rule of law is expensive. Human rights are only affordable when criminal behaviour is a rare event. When 10% of the population belong in jail, and another 30% are aimless layabouts pumping out the next generation of criminals, what are you gonna do? If you tell the drug dealers thereās going to be a crackdown, and they just carry on dealing drugs, what are you gonna do?
There has been no effective law enforcement in the Philippines for centuries - in fact the entire concept of āLawā is baffling to most people. Itās a society where the guy with the biggest stick, or the most money, runs the show. People vote for such people because thatās the way itās been since forever; if you didnāt support the right guy, youād end up floating down the river. Just take your 1000 pesos (the standard vote-buying rate these days), tick the right box, and life goes on as before.
I guess they should be investigating how to turn straight people gay.
Yes
