Honestly the US government is playing both sides. Either the fascists in the current government win, or the libs in groups they're supporting win, so the US comes out on top. Def Thai pro democracy protestors aren't all on the side of Netiwit. The Left, frankly, just tolerates him.
For sure. I just get frustrated that some folks on the left assume any protest or movement that the US is involved in is bad or reactionary. You seem quite familiar with the goings on there. Is the FFP essentially a bunch of libs and they capitalized on their dissolution and the protests sparked by them, or is there more to the story. I wouldn’t be surprised if bourgeoisie libs are trying to co-opt the more leftist aspects of the protests like here in the US.
Also, is comparing the current king to Hunter Biden a fair analogy? Lol
The FFP are basically just centrist libs. If the Trump branch of the Republican party decided to ban the Democrats, ya that would be bad, and this is basically what happened to FFP. The lib reaction to the army cracking down has always been weak. It's the Marxist (and the limited anarchist segments) that pushed to take over the streets.
I sorta feel like Hunter Biden is trying to get better, and his material conditions are not as fucked up as the king. A better analogy might be Caligula.

Oh I can't stress enough that the US government is funding groups around the pro-democracy movement, but not the main ones.
