Please stop ranting at everything I post about Duterte and trying to make it look like I am insulting you or just flamebaiting with uninformed opinions. I just pass on what my local media reports, because as a human being I think what's happening in your country is very worrisome.
And why a different title? I think it's pretty appropriate and to the point. I mean it's not like I am comparing Duterte to Hitler or anything. Didn't need to, he did that himself.
I do not mean to cause offense by my requests there--I understand that it's something REALLY impactful to talk about because of concerns, but reacting with the kind of wording at present of the OP is...it makes it really feel like sensationalizing when the process of asking or creating a topic to talk about these issues or seek more information from others since there are B12ers who are pretty much Filipinos here, help a lot more.
I'm not even ranting--I'm reacting to how you have responded
Maybe it's a cultural thing there where its ok to contrast for added detail of comparison, but leveling these things in the way you did in the past does not give off a good impression. Even if I can get that it isn't intentional only as it is.
And uh, yes. I get the last paragraph. If the WTF score internationally is O_o, locally we're all O_O at that. Also at how international media outlets seem to be presenting only a tad bit less than what local media is reporting (ie we do cover the context in why he's saying that, or at least there's added notes in our news regarding Duterte handling the output or such about his words--they're sprinkled here and there on articles in the Philippine Star, but they do give more insight to it all.)
We're also
about this as much as you though. So let it be known that there is no misunderstanding in the stance of these--
as human beings within the country you are concerned with, let it be known that we share your worry, but also seek to alleviate this worry from blowing up into anything more than it is now.
Edoot: Reelya's post down there right below mine highlights EXACTLY what I'm reacting to. I'm really wondering why that wasn't in mind there and it'd help if you explained that too? o_O
And I don't agree on the Phillipines being a vibrant democracy in the light of current affairs. Which saddens me.
Duuuuuuuuuude, you're doing that thiiiiiiiiiiing again. :I
Whyyyy. I:
Also the news doesn't report on everything internally here, in international matters
It is being handled, but there's a lot that's not being reported in detail x_x
EDIT: Duterte has apologized to the jewish community about his remarks. He said it was never his intention to befoul the memory of the 6 million jews killed by Hitler, and offered 'sincere and deep apologies'.
Well, at least he got the numbers right this time.
If I can just cut out these bits of paper in the news that flies by daily here and post it online (...it doesn't scan well, like at all), I would :I Because people are interested in this, and I don't want it to go all sensationalizing for that matter.
