ReplyDeleteThe following was written in 2010:
ReplyDeleteFormer Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra = Emmanuel Goldstein
“Reconciliation” = the ability to practice Doublethink
“The Reconciliation Plan” = The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism
The Nation/thaivisa.com/Bangkok Post/Thai TV/TOT, etc, et al = The Ministry of Truth
The place where Red Shirt leaders are being jailed as ‘terrorists’ = Room 101
New loyalty oaths / new purity tests / compulsory prostration before images / witchhunts / claims of soldiers killing civilians as ‘normal’ and perfectly justified = “2+2 = 5” or “3 fingers, Winston”
Our Yellow Shirt Overlords or The face of Neoliberal Capitalism in Thailand = Oceania
Majority of Thai people and especially Isaan people = East-asia
Nullification of the results of popular elections using military coups and partisan judicial activism = “Oceania is at war with with East-asia. Oceania has always been at war with East-asia.”
