Sarkhan talk:Senate

In reality, those who are fixated on Article 112 are the group within the Senate and the old-guard members who cling to their former power. They use the voting platform for prime minister nominations and solely focus on Article 112, opposing every policy proposal presented. This is equivalent to crushing the hope for progress in various other areas that the public has entrusted them to advance, including economic policies, social welfare, national security, education, digitalization, and the process of democratization.

This group within the Senate and the old-guard members are unwilling to utilize normal legislative mechanisms when it comes to proposing draft royal decrees for amending Article 112. They respond with resistance, objections, and even attempts to halt any amendments to Article 112, all based on their beliefs. Deep down, they probably think that they would be defeated in such a setting.

The monarchy remains silent or does not clearly express its position regarding Article 112. However, this particular group within the Senate is exploiting Article 112 for their own benefit rather than questioning its importance or considering meaningful reforms.

Instead of asking important questions and striving for progress, they are capitalizing on the use of Article 112 for their own gain. Rather than questioning whether they should prioritize protecting the monarchy or daring to push for reforms, they seem to believe that they would lose in such a scenario.

In the end, the minority that clings to Article 112 manages to suppress the majority who are ready to propel meaningful policies forward. This situation reflects the disparity within our nation, where the voices of the few manage to overshadow the voices of the majority, who are prepared to drive progressive policies forward.

Comments:

Mr.R: I once overheard a conversation between my mother and uncle (who is conservative) discussing how 10-year-old kids are being influenced by "orange propaganda" and how they shouldn't touch Article 112. It sounded like talking to a brick wall.

Me: I've had conversations with relatives who seem to know more about engaging with toilet paper than explaining the principles of democracy to them.

Mr.R: I don't understand why you bother talking to them. They seem to be more influenced by the propaganda they consume rather than understanding the concept of democracy.

Me: Well, your uncle doesn't even live in Thailand. He has spent his entire life in America. If it wasn't for the capitalist system that enabled him to be financially stable, he wouldn't be able to talk about how oranges are financially supported by Americans (huh). During my generation's time, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it impossible to afford a house without taking on huge loans. Where can we find jobs that pay well enough to afford that?

Mr.R: I don't get it. The conservative uncle thinks kids are being brainwashed by Thanathorn, but fails to see how he himself is being influenced by authoritarian powers, both manipulating and serving them. Instead of questioning Prayuth and pushing for progress, they obediently serve and protect him. It's incredible how he's influenced by external forces even though he doesn't reside in Thailand.

Me: That's true. And they listen to news but only from their preferred sources. They believe Sonthi Talk (a podcast by Sondhi Limtongkul) blindly. It's like speaking to a brick wall.

Mr.R: Exactly. They are so devoted to their own beliefs that they think they will lose in that arena. The monarchy never explicitly voiced their position on Article 112. However, these members of the Senate are exploiting it for their own benefit, rather than questioning its relevance or considering reform.

Me: It's so true. They benefit from using Article 112 as a shield to protect themselves instead of asking important questions and striving for progress. In the end, it's the minority voice that overpowers the majority who are ready to drive forward with meaningful policies.
