Are Dutertards incapable of critical thinking?



N.B. I have friends who are non Duterte voters and I love them. This post only concerns those who generalize all Duterte voters as retards who are not not capable of critical thinking

These non Duterte voters think they are cerebrals? When in reality their minds are lazily wallowing in system 1 type of thinking. They are not able to weigh which is worse: bad mouth or bad governance? They are active participants in media's manufacturing consent. Do you think you are free to think? Without Duterte you really don't have a real choice. All other presidentiables are operating under the structure set up by the oligarchy. You are now in a world of necessary illusion thinking that you have a choice between Poe, Mar and Binay. No, my dear friends you do not. Because choosing any one of them doesn't make any difference. They might have different strategies but they have the same goals. Perpetuating Oligarchy.

If you are really cerebral I'm sure you know by now what I meant by #manufacturingconsent and #necessaryillusion

Why Duterte still deserve the Muslims' votes?

As Muslims we need to denounce Duterte's unIslamic acts like cursing, kissing non Mahram women, and others. The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is our role model for a leader and he forbade us from such.

However we are a minority and the majority are not emphatic to us. That is why we need a national leader who will speak our narrative and champion our rights.

Duterte, in my opinion, offers the best solution so far for us to attain some form of autonomy in order for us to live our lives more completely as Muslims.

As long as the Filipino people are overwhelmingly anti-Muslims we will not be able to get what we deserve. They behave like that primarily because of the way the oligarchy powered media portray Muslims. Our bad image is also partly because of our own faults.

After the way the BBL was dumped by Filipino lawmakers backed by Filipino people, many Muslims lost faith in the current system. No President can positively affect the Bangsamoro issue no matter how sincere he may be if he will be confined to the limits of the1987 constitution.  A constitution framed and backed by the guardians of Philippine oligarchy.

Federalism may solve MILF-MNLF competition and may bring peace to our homeland.

This anti-corruption and anti-drug campaign is just a bonus.

That is why despite of everything negative about Duterte, in my opinion, he still deserves the Muslims' votes.
