Easy there. That's an extreme oversimplification of a rather complex condition. Speak to any addict and they'll each tell you, it's not a choice while in the deepest, darkest grips of the addiction. It's compulsion, a physical craving to the point of illness, and an emotional struggle unlike any other. However, it's in taking ownership of their behavior that ultimately allows them to get away from the thing which keeps them ill. (11 years as of May 1, God-willing).
It helps me to understand our enemy here, too. However, we are not dealing with compulsion and addiction. We battle evil. Pure, unapologetic evil.
Anecdotally, I have a friend who is from the Phillippines and just got back from a trip their, and he says everything about him is true. Oddly enough, he also supports him, but there ya go.
Well, I can understand when things get so terrible in a country that has so much turmoil because of drugs, killing, robberies, to the point of mayhem , that the rest of the citizens become so desperate they will accept almost anything. This is how governments are able to get rid of the poor, because they will always be blamed.
Voat is an idiot box as well. Do you not believe any story unless you verify every bit of info yourself? "Thousands of deaths? Show me the signed Death Certificates and coroner's report for each alleged victim or i call bullshit!!" Where do you draw the line? Left/Right, Mainstream/Alternative media, they all have an agenda and make shit up. Half the shit on Voat are shitposts with no actual 'proof' to verify the info, so what are you doing here?
If it is such an Idiot Box as well, what are you doing here? I am here to research and help with what I can find about our perverted leaders in order to put an end to the suffering of our children. I will not believe everything I read just because it is out there or on here.
Mainly i was referring to channels aside from pizzagate, which actually uses sources and has very little shit posts. The rest of voat appears to be an echo chamber for the alt right...
Well, yes there are some very unusual posts on here, but I simply ignore them and move on. You have to sometimes weed through the garbage if you want to smell the roses.

Who attacks him most viciously? The same media that denounce #pizzagate.
The old saying whom they hate most, is the people's best ally - proven right these days. Exciting times.

To be fair, he has murdered thousands of diseased(addiction) folk. That is not a good thing, if we are against murder here.

... Philippine laws are actually lax in comparison to the rest of South East Asia/ East Asia
mergen ago
you're using cherry picked statistics. Crime and victimisation WAS higher before him. LOL

If addiction is a disease, then it's self-inflicted

Eh, people can be literally forced into it, and I don't doubt that many massive organized crime orgs gain power that way.

As is any obesity related illness, etc.

It's fair to say that we do know many terrorists that ought to be off planet as well.

Who says he has killed thousands? I take everything now coming out of the Idiot Box with a Grain of Salt.

Lots of folks have reported it. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/01/06/rodrigo-duterte-philippines-drug-war/96062066/

Crime and victimisation is higher before he went into office. The VP who released the 7k statistic is a globalist w****
BitterBiped ago
In addition, if he did murder thousands of people it does not make him a bad person. Maybe he murdered thousands of pedos.
nomorepepperoni ago
If he murdered thousands of people for using drugs? Yeah, that's a pretty shitty thing to do (if this is true).
That said, his ally called them out. Not sure if helpful or harmful, all things considered.
memegod420 ago
According to reports its drug users.
carmencita ago
Yes, and we do not know the truth anymore. I am willing to believe him before the MSM. They have not served us well nor have those in power.
