Mean Thai Resistance Tactics

Yes, some people here are very upset. Another shit tosser has been arrested. Human waste attacks against our dear ruling Democrats are on the rise. They’re a distinctively Thai way of saying: “Hey, you’re shit.”

Human feces as a political statement is nothing new in Thai politics. Excrement tossers hit the headlines all the time in times of political divide. Sometimes there are groups of them. The practice is as old as Thai politics.

But there is much more to the quirky ways and means of opposition politics, of uniquely Thai ways to show utter disgust. Yes, creative cursing can be an act of self-defence.

Here are a few mean proven tactics, I’m sure there are many more:

    Someone mentioned doing DNA tests to find the culprits, or we can we call them coprophiles? Seems naive to assume that such expense would be laid out when the average murder in Thailand doesn’t warrant more than a summary backhander to the body snatcher selling the body for parts to the local morgue. Why would a police academy test shit unless it hit a particularly worthy elite target. Speaking of elites bracing themselves for the onslaught of dissent from the poor and uneducated, maybe they should develop a new type of qi qong, where instead of bracing yourself (read: protecting your possessions avidly) they could do an “open arms” posture where they are proactive and give something to those needy and exploited masses.

    Shit stirring is one thing but I draw the line at shit throwing …

    Personally I think everyone in Thailand should just have a huge water fight to settle everything … I just can’t think of a time that would be convenient for everyone … maybe next month sometime.

    They managed to arrest him, arraign him, try him and imprison him all in a few hours. Now that’s Thai justice, Roy Bean style. And I ain’t shittin’ ya.

    My feeling always was Mithran the GT200 works as a feces detector, now here’s the proof, that’s why they find those tossers so quickly.
