I actually liked this thread even if the guy never replied and blocked me despite asking for an explanation.

Neoreactionary thought applied to the Philippines, or: scratch a neoreactionary authoritarian and a libertarian public choice theorist bleeds

@njytolentino 👏It's👏not👏my👏job👏to👏educate👏you👏

Jk, I understand that our politicians and bureaucrats are retarded, but even if you replaced all of them with clones of Leni Robredo or whatever, we still wouldn't get nice public transpo or other nice things.

@anakmartiallaw Well in their utopia they'll be in charge of everything so it'll all work out like magic despite it being disastrous every other time people like them have tried. Russia, China, North Korea, East Germany + the rest of the Warsaw Pact, Cuba, Cambodia, Venezuela, Ethiopia, Somalia

"Nationalize" means "owned and run by the government" which in turn means "run by the same people who run DPWH, BIR, BoC, LTO"

Definition of insanity, repeating the same thing and expecting different results, etc etc. An ideology that should've died with the USSR and Berlin Wall

[Toby @tobitochondrios]

Ang dami na nating Special Economic Zones sa Pilipinas na kung may bayag lang tayong i-nationalize ay pwede nating ireappropriate into national industrial zones na pwede maging heavy industry natin. But sure, what we need is another 1620 hectare zone. Unlimited SEZs for everyone!

democracy in the west has become a giant therapy session where the loudest and dumbest complainers get an outsized influence on topics in which they know nothing about and we all have to suffer for it.

@morinet_ph Hail our people, hail Gibo, hail victory

[Dictator Class Cruiser @DictatorClass]

@morinet_ph @bridledfury This is why he needs to overthrow the old order and make himself dictator. The crown is lying in the gutter, and he can pick it up with his sword. He who saves his country breaks no law.

>when your leftist gibberish is so NPC-like that other computers believe that you're an LLM

Brutal

@bridledfury I don't honestly know how reliable AI text generators are but I remember writing it line-by-line :).

[charles @bridledfury]

Ridiculous. They couldn't even write the code for the website themselves.

You’re telling me an Anti-AI inspired ISI activist lobbying group wrote their reasons why they oppose a semiconductor factory corridor with purported AI-Data centers…with AI??!

@KevinLe23562776 This would unironically be an improvement over our current system

[Dictator Class Cruiser @DictatorClass]

We won't get anywhere until this mindset is eliminated. Corruption is not the worst thing in the world, countries can and have developed even with a lot of corruption, and the measures we impose (i.e checks and balances) to fight corruption actively hinder industrialization

[Onairemun Orapma @amoganina]

@inquirerdotnet Industrialization will not happen until such time we have leaders in government who are not corrupt and willing to make sacrifices for the real benefit of the country and the Filipino people.

@ph1nvest Compare it to our system where politicians need to campaign for reelection from day one. They'll pursue highly visible projects with quick payoffs: handouts, basketball courts, multi-purpose buildings.

[Dictator Class Cruiser @DictatorClass]

@ph1nvest Another factor is that they can stay in office for as long as they're effective, and they don't need to pander to an electorate to stay in office. It means they can afford to take on long term projects that take years to show returns, or projects that are unpopular but necessary

[Kraut @The_Davos_Man]

One of my dads closest friends was a man who was arrested by the communist secret police, tied to a chair, had his fingernails torn out with pliers until he gave a false confession.

I learned everything I need to know about people like you from talking to him about those people.

@TheVoiceofSpri1 "Anarcho-albularyo" is hilarious lmao

[The Voice of Spring⚗️⚔️ @TheVoiceofSpri1]

It's really funny and revealing Maoist China literally went to war with the most ubiquitous bird in Philippines (Eurasian Tree Sparrow - Maya-maya/Mayang simbahan) meanwhile our Maoist students swear by protecting nature here

[Daen @sensedaen]

>muh autarky in big 2026
So unserious lol.

[Dictator Class Cruiser @DictatorClass]

This might be a scalding hot take but I don't think we should be learning development economics from the people whose ideology is responsible for stuff like this, just a thought
