Just in case you do not want to join others in traffic congestion, prepare for extra use of BTS and be patient.

Lately, the old strategy of “if you are not with us, you are against us” had been employed over the website. What are more crucial than that is PADs’ prominent declaration that “if you are against us, you are against ..beep.. (words had been self-censored to assist ICT’s blocking).” Not only Thaksin clans, relative, politicians will be mentioned on the camping out on Rajadamneon street, but they will get anyone, anything that are not supportive or critical of what they are doing without thinking about deadly intended consequences: weakening political systems, ‘independent’ institutions dependencies, judicial overload and overwork (how many cases they have to work on it now?) or assassinate someone’s character and career completely by saying they do not love the nation.

If PADs actually manage to protest in front of the British Embassy, they would make an easier excuse for Thaksin to apply for an asylum and show that in mob rule and PADs hostility are threatening enough he could not return. They would prove that in Thailand, rule of law is not important and we are indeed a fail state– so fail that a group of people have to use every undemocratic means to save it.

We have histories that were not featured in our history courses for young students. Histories of massacres fueled by people who could not tolerate differences and people who manipulated nationalism to the extreme. Will we ever learn about those histories, is something I am not certain. Those histories remind us to love the people, the fellow people that share the same land, rather than elusive and invented state. You look them in the eyes and see them, stripping off ideologies, as fellow human beings. In school was being taught histories that divided, that promoted nationalism and ethnical/ideological supremacy. Probably the result of such teaching of histories crystalized in 2551 on Rajadamneon avenue.
