re: "Brainwashed kids" (BP, PostBag, August 20, 2020)
Dear editor,
While RH Suga makes a point worth considering ( "Brainwashed kids", PostBag, August 20), has it occurred to him that it might in fact be the traditionally educated elders who have been brainwashed? It is, after all, the fanatical right-wing elders who are unable to make a rational argument to state and support their articles of mindless faith, in contrast to the informed, eloquent students. And since it is also the elders of Thainess whose unwisdom has so held back Thailand economically, socially, politically and morally for many decades, the weight of evidence suggests that it is the old folk who lack mature understanding of the political issues here.
Ageism is a dangerous sword to wield — falling on your own is embarrassing.
