WTF: Filipino Activist Groups Want UNHRC To Investigate President Duterte While They're Still Against Free Trade?

Comprehending the logic of the typical activist (Filipino or not) is just confusing, isn't it? The same groups that demand to get U.S. troops out of the Philippines, that go against the idea of economic liberalization, that claim to be so "nationalistic" are now -- wait, what? They are asking the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) which is located in GENEVA, SWITZERLAND to intervene and investigate the Duterte Administration for alleged human rights violation? This makes me go WTF considering that they claim to be so nationalistic. Hmm... did you even know that Renato Reyes Jr. of Bayad Muna even went to the International Criminal Court in the NETHERLANDS too?

If they are so nationalistic then why are they asking foreign organizations to intervene with them? If they hate capitalism so much then why are they using products born out of capitalism? They are using the Internet, highly-priced laptops, megaphones, and the like which are all products of again, PRODUCTS OF CAPITALISM! This shows that they just power-hungry activists who are using "nationalism" as a facade. If they were so nationalistic then why even get foreign bodies to intervene? It's because their self-contradiction doesn't bother them as long as it conveniences them!

You don't need a degree in political science or to be a political analyst or an economist (which I'm neither) to understand their stupidity. They don't want free markets because it's a threat to their power. If the Philippines were in the free market long ago then these activist organizations in the Philippines would have lesser stupid people to recruit. Communist leaders like it when people are poor and ignorant because they will be easier to manipulate. Calling for the UNHRC to do an investigation on the Duterte administration's alleged crimes aren't inviting foreign investment -- it's inviting foreigners to help them maintain their grip of power that they're, in fact, already losing.

Besides, how credible is UNHRC anyway with human rights? How can they lecture about human rights when they can't even address human rights in countries that are in fact far worse than the Philippines? What about the rights of the unborn who are in fact very much alive? How can they address human rights if they condemn defensive killing to protect HELPLESS citizens? Hmmm... non-credible people go for non-credible, right?
