Thailand’s Youth are Challenging the Government in the Biggest Push for Democracy Yet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2020
- The streets of Bangkok have become the site of some of the biggest anti-government protests in years, with tens of thousands of protesters massing to demand an end to military-backed rule and a shift to a true democracy.
It’s the latest round of pro-democracy protests since the military seized control in a 2014 coup, but this time is different-the protesters are young, their movement is popular, and they’re not afraid to cross some of the country’s most taboo topics-criticizing the monarchy directly.
VICE News went inside the protest movement to meet those leading the charge, and risking up to 15 years in jail in the process.

"People shouldn't fear their Governments. Governments should fear their People." V
Mutual respect and trustworthiness is needed for a goverment to deal with all people's whims. But hey, you guys aren't prepared for this conversation.
People kill leaders? People gain a opportunity to change? But they don’t kill they don’t rise? Why? A war amongst nations is one thing but a nation fighting itself for freedom is a a honorable and highly respected choice in my opinion
Yes! V for Vendetta ✌
When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty
@Riley Frost LO NICE KID😂😂 DEMONIZING DEMOCRACY😂😂 DEMOCRACY IS BETTER THAN ONE MAN AUTHORITARIANISM😂😂 TRY COMPARING DEMOCRATIC AND ONE MAN AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRIES IN THESE WORLD, YOU'LL SEE😂😂
Im a Brit that has lived in Thailand in recent years. The level of creativity, kindness and wisdom among the youth in Thailand today is going to shine across the world when they have won their freedom. Solidarity!!
A brit in Thailand who can attest to the wisdom, creativity, and kindness of the youth...🤨

@@sejfzlrrhman well as he praised about the kindness and wisdon among the Thai youth today is so great , my comment is just the spit mirror of their thought, these kids are no longer respect anything apart from their beloved manipulator, no teachers or elderly they believe that they can find everything on the internet and everyone are equal but the new generation is more equal than others anyway the result is teacher/elder/professor/doctor dont need to be respect anymore because they pay to get education/services.

its a much wider gap than in the western world, thailand is literally a country of penniless poor farmers ruled by a bunch of super billionaires
Thailand rank first in the inequality ranking rated by world wealth organization.
Yeah every decent country has rich and poor people. The only countries that everybody is poor are the communist/regime countries. Look at Venezuela, Zimbabwe, North Korea, etc. It's better to live in a decent countries with rich and poor people than to be in the countries that everybody is poor and is controlled.

I think it's a global phenomenon: Kids in slums are creatively using arts like rapping, dancing, graffiti etc to deliver the message that they exist and the world should give a FCUK about them as well.
i mean in america its totalitarian rats that have appropriated liberal arts.. sadly.
@@Imabeatyouman The myth that the left in America is totalitarian and not also on the right is uniquely a conservative media station fearmongering technique created to increase division among the parties.

@@TheCookiePredator so yeah, its all the same
Rap & Graffiti came out of The Bronx, New York in the 1980's. I was a child and remember it well. :-)
@@TheCookiePredator I live in the US. The left is far more totalitarian than the right in my personal experience. The ideas they espouse censor all thought or even words that contradict a chosen narrative. They regulate speech, thought and action. If you say or do anything that goes against a narrative, even if you're asking for clarification, this will be taken as a sign of disobedience and you must be punished until you change your ways. They have established this mindset on college campuses throughout the country. People who hint at conservative viewpoints - even if they mostly align with the left - are ostracized. It stems from post-modernist thinking and their solution is a Marxist paradigm that is to be implemented. These beliefs have manifested in identity politics and the forced resignation of ideological opponents in positions of power in universities. Professors and deans are forced to resign and schools are threatened into changes in policy that are more "tolerant." But this is the thing, everything the left fights for in modern times, in action they will commit the things they say they are against. The most extreme version of this is Antifa. It's actually hilarious how ironically fascist it is. In every stratum of society that the left acts in mirrors the way people acted during communist revolutions. I don't think you're taking their ideology seriously enough.
In fact Thailand means “land of the free”.
What you gonna say anything lol😂
Land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy- Rage Against the Machine. ua-cam.com/video/DqLUq_x2ZJg/v-deo.html
Indeed, Thai = ไทย (ไท) mean free/ free of
Our old PM change our name from Siam to Thailand because of nationalist policy.
Thai originally doesn't mean free.
Thai(Tai) is the name of the race
And majority of people living in Siam is Tai. So he changes it to Tailand
Government just want to cover up that the name of our country is racist
So they make up new word 'Thai' which means free
And use 'Thai' instead of 'Tai'

Your comment is showing the level of your intelligence which is same level as the kids in this documentary the kids who still beg money from their parent, most of them dont have a job or donate anything to society all they do is take, they simply didnt archive anything in the life not finish school and not mature enough to vote for the government they dont even know what differences between vat and tax lol by the way Thailand is much better than most of the countries in the world in term of covid 19 prevention or health care system, better than most of the developed countries either including Germany for covid19 alone. The king flew back to Thailand for the Buddhist ceremony at the early of Pandemic before flew back to German when the infection rate was more worse than Thailand, He got diplomatic passport he also got own jet plan so he can fly to wherever he want at anytime but he still stay in one of the most infected country in the world ( at that time or even now it not any better) with his son who study there while it’d been zero cases of covid19 in Thailand for more than 3 month and zero death for more than 5 months the latest one just got sick abroad he got cured but back to pass away in Thailand, we also count him as the local dead by covid19, in most of the countries especially in Europe and America they lost count already. For the country with 65 million population, Thailand have only 59 dead so far, most of them got it from abroad so if your brain still well function let me tell you like this the King able to buy thousand of ventilators during the time that most of the countries need money alone cant buy such thing but he can, those be donated to hospitals throughout the country by his order, the company that he hold the share are also the company that provided most of the medical equipments to hospital and did the most charity in the country I dont know where do you come from but im so sorry for your parent to have a kid like you I you better show your stupidity here with you fake identity because in real life you are worthless.

Where the hell US and EU to support democracy movement.
It shows the true color of Westerners.
There is no oil and gas in Thailand that's why.
I'm an American citizen, living in Thailand. I'm also a college professor. My students don't take those failed Western countries seriously. The youth in Thailand are organized and working towards a common goal. They're not weak, fighting amongst themselves, like in AmeriKKKa.
@Crestfire You don't know anything about history. The US and UK literally fought against North Korea in the 1950s. North and South Korea never signed a peace treaty so they are both technically still at war. So what you said is a flat out lie. The US has maintained a strong alliance with South Korea in case they go to war, but that has the potential to spark a global conflict because of North Korea's ties to China. I think everyone hopes it ends peacefully.
@tariq The US fought in proxy wars with the Soviet Union all over the world because of the belief in DEMOCRATIC capitalism over communism and socialism. The US fought in Vietnam with the south against the communist government in the north. The US fought in Somalia in the 90s for democracy. Even in Iraq, they got rid of Saddam Hussein, who was the absolute worst leader in the entire world in his time. He was an authoritarian dictator who killed 250,000 of his own people in a fascistic way. He made families clap while watching their relatives executed, that's what it was like. Hussein invaded Kuwait under bogus charges too! So by your logic Iraq has had bad leadership and you should be glad he's gone! Kuwait would not exist if not for the west. The US fought the Taliban in Afghanistan too. Is there oil in Afghanistan? The US fought in Kosovo and stopped a genocide of Muslims in Europe. Was there oil there? And no one cares! They just say the west is evil bla bla bla.
Interfering at this stage in Thailand would not be taken lightly by world leaders, it would be interpreted as interfering in domestic policy of a sovereign country. Thailand is not in civil war or destabilized to the point where it needs help from outside powers. If it ever got to that point the US would intervene. And don't forget not all Thais want changes either.
If any other country was the world's superpower things would be much worse than the paradigm we're dealing with now. And I don't think the US is perfect either. But it's way better than what your country would do for the world.
US and EU have no responsibility over the Thailand people. The Thailand people should deal with their own problems.
@@ubermenschexplorer4910 People hate the west for no intervention. People hate the west for intervention. It's fine, everyone can just blame the west for their own problems. They most likely won't intervene, which was the point I was making anyway, unless it became a humanitarian crisis in which case it should at least be considered. Civil war is no joke.

I am so proud of this Thai youth generation. Their political awareness is so mature and well informed. Imagine having politic headlines discussed among 5th graders, not even in high school yet. And There are so many high schoolers who do their HW in the Protest. These people are just asking for the most basic necessity to run a healthy society. They are only asking for a better future where rules and laws be installed equally to both rich, poor and the royal institute. We should overcome a hypocritic system where riches are exempt from all wrong doing just by bribing and corrupting the systems. Do you know that the 1% of the rich families in Thailand make a profit revenue more than the whole country GDP. Man I can understand why they cling so bad to be in power.

"Their kingdom is slowly dividing" Its kinda already divided after decolonization happened, which split Great Britain into several countries and commonwealths. Second Britain hasn't been a monarchy in quite a while, it's a unitary parliamentary.
It's not the monarchies fault though.

Thank you soooo much
absolutely love thailand, love the language, love the people, and love the food. i stayed in bangkok for a year when i was 23, 7 years ago, and it was such an amazing place. i got lost really often though, even just exploring nearby places on foot. the only time i really got to explore the whole city was when i had my thai friend with me who was born in america but raised speaking thai, and he had been to visit many times before. i absolutely loved it so so much. but even back then, 2013-2014 i think, there were still protests i saw in a lot of places. i was always warned not to go near them though, because if i got caught, i may spend a decade or more in thai prison, which is absolutely not something i wanted anything to do with. i may visit again one day, so i won't say anything controversial with this account under my own name. but i really truly did love it there, so so so much. i just had a few rules to follow, like never put your foot on a coin or paper currency, because it has the thai monarch's name on it. and certain other rules like that. but overall, those rules were relatively easy to follow if i just stayed mindful, and respectful of a different culture accepting me into their city.
i hope everyone stays safe, and this can all be resolved peacefully. that's the most i'm comfortable saying.
@Green Future I once mentioned these facts to a bunch of brit tourists and I got bashed so badly. They want to go on being in denial and pay for sex with underage girls/boys while claiming that "the sex workers like it and it's helping them feed their families". It's a tragedy
i definitely didn't see any blatant sex trafficking, though i know it's a problem. i was with locals most of the time, and had a friend who could translate to me, and also translate between me and his parents. sure, i saw the tourist destinations, the old architecture is amazingly beautiful, and everyone i met was kind to me. shopping malls the size of small cities, with 15+ floors, so much stuff to do, and definitely no debauchery over there. i heard from most ppl that the gross stuff happens in pattaya, not bangkok.
this was the first notification i've gotten about this post tho, not sure why it didn't tell me about the other comments
@Edwin C.
i'm fuckin 30 and was born and raised in a 3rd world country and made it with my parents illegally to america. took a decade to get citizenship. before i was 10, i had seen many deaths with my own eyes, in person. our house was robbed at gunpoint several times. you know what happens to women and young girls when 5 armed men break into your house? i've lost 5+ of my extended family members to violence, where you'd get killed outside the grocery store for your headphones. you can make assumptions all day, so you can feel superior, like only you know how fucked up the world is, and everyone else is just a sheep. keep pretending

A king will not lose his throne without fighting, there will be blood.
You love attacking people? You love attacking us.
I wish the protesters are more clear of their objective(s) and strategy. They want PM to resign, but what if the PM is voted in by the parliament again? Some ask for parliament to be dissolved, but the new election will still use the same constitution that they despite so badly. They are asking for a new constitution to be written, but who is going to write it? The current parliament or a different committee? And what about the executive branch during the rewritten of the new constitution? Who is going to rule now that appointed PM is not being supported?
I personally do not wish for PM to resign, for he was voted in democratically by using the rule of the new constitution approved by the people. However, if the protesters are unhappy with the new rule, I call that they try to appeal democratically through the parliament, and set a timeline that the new rule will be implemented for the next election in 3 years. That is the only how to hold the system alive, or else we will be stuck in this cycle of mob politic forever.
I hope, that my childhood friend who was from Thailand is okay. My heart goes out to the Thai people.

I'm Thai and I attended 16th October protest which government responded this protest with water cannon mixed with chemicals. I can say that it is very brutal to an unarmed protestors. The main issue is that Thailand King have too much power in the Coup constitution and constantly interfere with the politics. Controlling almost everything in Thailand's independent power with Thai Royal Army by his side from Germany which is currently his residence. There is a lot more to say. However, the most important thing is that the world needs to know what is going on in Thailand. If anybody have a question, I would be more than happy to answer and hope you will spread the word.

Stay safe Thailand
I'm so glad that our story of fighting for a true democracy is actually reaching out there into the world.
I wish you the best, Thai People. It took us over 70 years to depose a bland dictatorship in México but we did it and I know that you can overcome this as well.
Ya deposing a government yet now, mexico is still grappled by corruption, femicide, drug gangs and cartels. It is just strong enough not to be engulfed just like in El Salvador and Honduras. What does the President do? Nothing
@@duchesspipay9148 do you expect an overnight change?
No and it is a gradual progress, but it had exposed the weakness of the so-called dempcratic form of government. They cannot even eliminate drugs and the cartel, so it had become rampant. If the government does not discipline its people, what credibility is left then?. True, we all wanted democracy but yet some people over step their boundaries and does not follow laws. They only follow the law if it applies to them but if it is against them, they protest.
@@duchesspipay9148 Why do you think 3 major criminals are being charged and arrested in the USA instead of México? Our institutions have been penetrated by corruption to a level that will take years to clean them up. It is also a matter of education, I doubt my generation will be able to see the fruits of change but that doesn't mean that we have to stay silent and do nothing. The drug problem is much more complex than you think, without demand there is no market, unfortunately the USA is the biggest market of all and México is its neighboring country, so I wouldn´t dare to over simplify something based on suppositions or prejudices. I am all for the death penalty for the corrupter and the corrupted, unfortunately we don't have that penalty in México so it will take much more time to see change.
México problem is very complex. Some families still in power but in the shadow. Also, they need to make a change in the government but even with all the problem they have a choice to change it every for four years in election. Thailand is a little different they have been in monarchy for many years. Monarchy is very bad and few people take all the money that is for the Thai people. I wish the best Thai people!
Thx for uploading and translation!
I strongly believe in people's power and power should be returned back to people. This wolf in sheep clothing govt is totally corrupted and monarch too. Stand with thai people. This is modern age and no room for any institution or single man to rule the country. People should govern themselves.
It is refreshing to see people taking a stand instead of saying things like "United nations should interfere " "why isn't the west doing thus and that...." it used to be people were too afraid, but they often feel now they have nothing to lose, and when they see similar societies protesting as well they feel rightfully propelled.
Yes, I'm so glad to see people continue fighting for their rights, too! But it is true, though, that the interference of the UN is also important in making the process faster... What's the UN for, if it's not keeping useless leaders like this one in check?

The main problem is economic. When your people wealth (have money, have job, have to eat, have to life) no one care about democracy. Exp: singapore, brunai darusalam, UEA, Saudi
Not Hong Kong
dictatorship country Saudi Arabia is ally of USA, so....
It's fun watching protestors in other countries get support from Americans while protests in America are shown such disdain and contempt.

They aren't murdering innocent people and distroying peoples property 💯

"Double Standard".
C'mon, Vice, sort your subtitles out. This is an interesting topic but I'm struggling with the tiny text. Why do this?
It's so sad what's happened to Thailand after the coup. I love going there as a Swede, but it feels wrong when there's no democracy and I hope the Thai people get their democracy back soon!

It makes me so sad to see this happen in Thailand. I live in a neighbouring country, and i was born in Thailand, so i hold the country somewhat close to my heart.
I'm rooting for you all. Good luck, and stay strong. ❤
Thank you and you as well, Stay safe and strong. wish you and those you love the best of luck and met some good people. ^^
Imagine your citizen hate you and you're unwilling to step down. Such dishonor.
So we can conclude that Democracy is not the best. And the process of getting one is the worst. It's a worldwide phenomena. Peaceful protests, turned angry, military/ police intervention, arrests, deaths, more protests. Countries throwing sanctions at the government for human rights violation, the economy collapsing, and sometimes a military coup, its messed up. Its good that people are raising their voice against everything wrong, but seeing what happened in dozens of other countries worldwide, there should honestly be a better and more effective way. Good luck Thailand! Protect your beautiful country.
Thailand is an amazing place.
Pity it is becoming more and more like KFC and McDonalds though. :(
Haha it has always been like that for the past 20 years I don't know where you have been. There has been more of everything else too though so I don't know what you're looking at.
ua-cam.com/video/HQVdR-V6VZY/v-deo.html A forgotten folktale from Verma and Thailand , where a king🤴is unbothered about the things happening around him as those don't directly affects him. Do we have similar attitude towards our surrounding? Listen till the end..❤❤️♥️❤️❤️🍅❤️🍅❤️
Thai people are getting brainwashed by netflix
Thanks Vice for this document . Freedom for Thai!
abdiqani nor why you laugh?
To the narrator: when you...speak...with too...long of pauuuses...it can cause issues with...understanding. You have a great voice and I hope you gain the inflection and pacing to give teeth to your reporting.
I hope the situation in Thailand gets better. Every person deserves hope and a chance to live a life of true happiness.
This is inspiring. Literally fearless considering the covid situation. True power of unity. Wish you all the best of luck from India !
Damn this seems impossible... good luck Thailand :(
Good luck with that you.

Dark future when Hong Kong protesters were arrested and blacklisted so they never get a job forever.

Hi, I come from the United States. Our constitution was based on leaving a monarchy too but we have major flaws.
While living in the monarchy, a few rich white guys like Hamilton wrote the constitution, the Federalist papers, and so on. That's what carried us into a new government.
Haha I bet game designers would make great elected officials.
I hope the best for them, I also hope they're safe .
Love from the states! Stay strong!
The average taxi driver In Thailand has roughly 250 Muay Thai fights.... Imagine the cops trying to arrest the wrong protester 😂😂
Lame !!!
That was Samson Dutchboy Gym
@NihlusGreen yes it does its a way out of poverty.... I'm sure Thailand are sitting on like 400k fully trained Thai fighters
@NihlusGreen This guy is working as a cab driver now ua-cam.com/video/j7hiHE2IW6M/v-deo.html
The people have the power.
where is the sub? my english listening isnt that good
I live in Bangkok. I’m very happy to see these protests getting worldwide recognition from the media. The Thai people are amazing and should have a system that works for them. I’m proud to call Thailand my home!
I feel ashamed to have these kids who are brainwashed by some rogue teachers who encourage them to protest.
Justice for Thailand! ยุติธรรมเพื่อไทย!
