WHAT IT’S LIKE LIVING IN A KLEPTOCRATIC STATE
– can still get a half calf decaf machiatto
– still have internet and all social media.
– still have a growing economy.
– still have rising standards of living.
People are scared.
Likes globalism, the UN, Climate Change.
It’s pretty good if you’re a member of the tiny middle class.
The worm in the apple: debt.
Evictions.
Labour migration! Huge
Environmental crisis.
In the capitol, always aircon, always toilets flush.
Fresh News
Elections: we have you beat.
CNRP + social media =
If you’re a poor farmer you can be kicked off your land at any time for any reason.
Your first notice might be when the bulldozers come.
Justice is arbitrary. All the judges are appointed by one party.
Gerrymandering. The lost province that was sunk due to corruption!
Tbong Thmumm.
Gini coefficient.
You start early to fight Authoritarianism.
Act as if you’re in authoritarianism. If you are wrong, you will simply strengthen society and its institutions anyway.
Highly aware and proactive on regime change. Tunsia! Not on radar.
Health care in Cambodia vs. USA. Emergency room. But we don’t have patient dumping on skid row.

All governments engage in central planning and here’s the secret: it’s BORING. But vital. But BORING.

Student government and real democracy. Decide what classes you want. Carceral schools. School to prison pipeline.

Gaslit Nation:
Cambodia link.
[1/2] Yeah so a big chunk of USA & French 'Survivor': filmed in Cambodia. Here's the son (and presumed heir) of autocrat Hun Sen (Hun Manet) toasting the production with champagne. It's good for the regime. https://t.co/UXkqOqVaWt

[2/2] If Survivor hadn't been embraced with open arms, we wouldn't have had 'The Apprentice'. Previously Mark Burnett had wanted to do a show about Putin. Funny how that worked out. https://t.co/8GH0Az5UvX

I like to ask conservatives how federal disaster relief differs ideologically from federal single payer healthcare. I have yet to get a coherent answer.
