Does Benign0 Understand That Presidentialism Is The Cause Of Dramatic Philippine Politics?


Running out of ideas? Well, it seems that Benign0 himself would have to deal with the fact that he moved to Australia but REFUSED to give Filipinos two things that could help improve them. I can't believe that Benign0 showed UTTER ECONOMIC CLUELESSNESS DURING COVID-19. The guy is freaking living in Australia where FDI and the parliamentary system are benefiting it. Now, he's asking about why Philippine politics is full of drama. It seems Benign0 is more focused on his hatred for the Dilawans instead of the VERY SAME SYSTEM that allowed the Dilawans to rise into power. I think a lot of times that Benign0's probably been too unfair to the late Noynoy Aquino and to Atty. Leni Loud Robredo. 

The latest article gives this introduction which I might tackle with Benign0's not seeing the SYSTEMIC difference between Australia and the Philippines:

If the Philippines got a penny whenever wonder over its dysfunctional politics is raised, it’d be a First World country by now. Indeed, emotionalism reins supreme in the National “Debate” there. Facts and critical thinking routinely take a back seat to shrill hysterics exchanged amongst its foremost “thought leaders”. Social media had exacerbated this predisposition to unproductive mudslinging and the landscape is increasingly hopelessly paralysed.

The most evident manifestation of this dysfunction is the continued coalescing into cults of personality among the country’s chattering classes. Having been utterly crushed in the 2022 national elections, the Yellowtard-Communist Axis — regarded widely as the bloc of left-of-centre “liberals” — are a scattered, hopelessly-fragmented and ineffective force. For its part, having taken hold of the nation, the arguably right-wing “Unity Team” of winning tandem of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte — now President and Vice President respectively — are now seeing their support base polarised into the Marcos “BBM” and Duterte “DDS” camps.

The common denominator here, aside from the traditional stupidity of the “debate” surrounding these “developments” is continued beholdenness to personalities. Issues are not unpacked in this “debate” through the application of systematic thinking. They are regarded from the lens of the perceived personal loyalties of the actors and agents contributing to it. It is easy to see why no conversation moves forward. The intellectual bankruptcy of the landscape turned what is supposed to be a free market of ideas into a deadly minefield where most great ideas get blown up trying the navigate it.

Benign0 still doesn't get the root and the fruit huh? I targeted Benign0's hypocrisy which I asked this:


I decided to point out Benign0's inconsistency and troll Jason VOORHEES did make a short return. I can't say if VOORHEES has learned anything or not. What might be best to say is how Benign0 believes that Filipinos must get their act together first before opening to FDI. That's what he proposed in that nonsense article he wrote during the pandemic. Now, I even wonder if Benign0 realizes that presidentalism is nothing more than CARTOON POLITICS. It might be best to ask him if he ever sees Australian campaign periods act like Ang Tanging Ina


I'm reminded of how Leni Loud herself really became an object of ridicule when she tried the Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat approach. Except she was only once widowed and NEVER had children with three different late husbands. It's very easy to bash Leni Loud without knowing the real cause of why she did what she did. I'd blame the presidential system more than the Dilawans for the faulty campaign. Leni Loud tried to dance with the crowd and do the like. It's because for Leni Loud to get a vote - it seems that was the best thing to do. 

If only Benign0 was more observant - maybe he'd realize that the difference between Australian politics and Philippine politics STARTS with the system. Has he even observed how the weekly question hour is conducted in Australia? It's always been systems first before people. It's the SYSTEM that dictates how things are run. The presidential SYSTEM is run by popularity. The parliamentary SYSTEM dictates credibilty. I wonder if Benign0 is still stuck in the fallacy often said, "Common sense lang yan! Walang problema sa tao! Sa sistema lang!" If one defines the word SYSTEM - it's all about how things are run. It seems Benign0 thinks the same way the Yellowtards that he so hates that system change is merely just a regime change. No, it goes beyond that and the 1987 Constipation of the Philippines hasn't done much to repair the damage of the 1973 Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Marcos. 

As Benign0 said, he went to Australia because he saw the Philippines has no hope of changing. It's amazing how the guy continues to feed trolls and even entertain them. Once again, Benign0's analysis is always based on the Filipino people rather than the system that could help Filipinos improve. It's been the political system that has caused the Philippines to rot. It's not because Filipinos have no hope of changing but it's the system that has kept Filipinos tied up to that rotten system.
