I’m a Marxist-Leninist born and grew up in the US-occupied Republic of the Philippines who firmly believes in AES, and a staunch Duterte supporter. And no, I do not support the CPP-NPA, they are Trotskyite pieces of s**t larping as Maoist revolutionaries.

Everyday I have to deal with lib bullshit from from my mother, she keeps asking me why I keep barking negative about the United States. Especially when talking about the elections. She supports Leni Robredo, our own Manchurian Candidate being rigged by US influence to win, so they can dethrone Duterte and enslave us again to Raytheon’s whims for their sweet arms profits at our expense.

I don’t know what correct words to say, it always felt like a trap question everytime she asks why I stan China. I know what to say, I am convinced of my beliefs, its just, I dont know how to explain them without damning myself into their trap.

I kept talking about how chaotic the USA is with all the civil disobedience from both MAGAts and California libs, especially the BLM protests, Freedom Convoy, J6, anti-vaxxer protests, and the riots and shit. All they just said to me? “Its part of the process of healthy democracy.” Riots? Healthy Democracy? Are they fucking kidding me? They think being a dumpster fire for having a clown and later a sleepy old man for presidents is a healthy democracy?

I’m losing brain cells.

    Yeah no when I did my research into him for a school project all I could find was him using police to murder drug users in the streets and fashy shit like that. Take it this was back in my lib days but it seemed pretty credible. I would also like to know if these are false and if Duterte is good.

      The drug war stuff is 100% legit and believe it or not it’s pretty popular there. There was semi recent polling I saw with over 50% approval and it was a key part of his ticket.
