Peasants, behave!

re: "Enough of the iron grip" (Editorial, December 7)


Dear editor,

The trouble from the dictators' point of view is that ungrateful Thai citizens, despite an amazing Gini index of 90.2 courtesy of those same self-made old boys, cannot be relied upon to mindlessly obey unless a little fatherly coercion is used, hence the urgent need for morally corrupt laws to be strictly enforced by the morally challenged politicians who stole the Thai nation by overthrowing the previously existing form of democratic constitutional monarchy, which was obviously not doing enough to keep the 1% in control of the nation and their servants.

As the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databook 2018 shows, the economy is much happier now, with the 1% owning a more respectable 66.9% of everything Thai. And those upstart peasants are firmly back under heel.

Why risk what is so obviously returning happiness to all save the 99% of low worth ingrates?
