bitag helps tricycle driver victimized by corrupt officials

my political opinions are just useless bullshit. unlike typical SWJs who only advocates for ideas and principles that are too general to be useful, this bitag dude has hundreds of viral youtube videos where he CONCRETELY helps abused people. unlike SWJs who only cares about abuses by the powerful people, he also helps many rich people from abuses by poor people.

what's amazing is after watching a few of his videos, i thought he was anti duterte because he would target abusive cops. then i learned he is actually a die hard duterte supporter. even after his family was being charge by the duterte administration for corruption. unprecedented !!!

super brilliant intellectuals sitting on their high horse won't think this bitag dude is a big deal. what he is doing is too banal. they prefer more impressive and highly intellectual ideas or advocacy. but the reality is that even the best leaders in the world can only do so much. society and humans are too complicated. sometimes good intentions can even backfire like what happened in soviet union. even the best laws and policies can only do so much. it's the simple brute force hard work, creativity, and even bravery of people like this bitag dude that can surely make a difference. unfortunately for SWJs it's hard to find true abuse cases that fit the progressive liberal narrative or agenda. if you ask a feminist to tell you a specific case where a man is abusing a woman, or a specific law that needs to be changed or added to protect women, or a specific company that is unfair to women, they can't give an example.

elected leaders should have a complaints hotline and one day a week they should act on the most important abuse case and make a youtube video out of it.  it will have ripple or domino effect. imagine in 1 year you can help more than 300 victims. even more because it will have a ripple effect like scare a congressmen who is sexually harassing his staff. just the thought of ending up on your show would be enough of a deterrent. you can even make lots of money if your channel becomes viral. this will even significantly contribute to the prosperity of society because the fear of abuse is very detrimental to growth. although i understand that for leftists, it won't matter because wage labor is different from slavery only that it's temporary.

i understand if you are a leftist you probably wouldn't want to do this because if the abusers are the poor kotingeros in quiapo, then it will destroy your agenda. i understand why supposedly feminist and bleeding heart liberals in hollywood like meryl streep and oprah kept silent about harvey weinstein's abuses for years. it's easier to display your fake bravery by lambasting trump at the oscars. my supposedly highly educated facebook friends even described it as an act of bravery. that's obviously ridiculous because the worst punishment meryl streep could get is getting kudos and a pat on the back from her colleagues during the cocktail parties.

but what's even more ridiculous is donald trump's tweet saying meryl streep is overrated. if there is only 1 thing that everybody agrees on - it would be that - MERYL STREEP IS NOT OVERRATED. sometimes i think trump is intentionally acting like a bonehead to make people think he is one of them because it's hard to believe is the president of the most powerful country in the world. maybe saying trump is not witty is like saying mugsy bogues is short.

i understand it's not easy to stand up for what you believe in. i know some influential friends who are very anti marcos but won't denounce in facebook the ongoing resurgence of the marcos family because they also have pro marcos facebook friends who are also the alpha males and females of society and they are afraid to step on their toes. or they are afraid to become like me who nobody likes. or they probably watched game of thrones and realized the kids of brutal leaders can be good leaders like daenerys targaryen who's father was a lunatic.

in contrast, donald trump is all over the map when it comes to agenda so he ends up hurting everyone. i thought trump was in bed with the oil companies and goldman sachs but he insulted and fired their icons. i thought he is anti CIA or anti FBI but he just hired a CIA guy as his secretary of state. duterte is similar to trump. here's a video where duterte says he will personally put a bullet in the heads of his very own cops - In profanity-laden outburst, Duterte threatens to kill ‘crooked cops’. as i said before, duterte's cops are not like star wars storm troopers and duterte is not like darth vader - https://ian-crystal.blogspot.com/2017/04/rare-perspectives-on-extra-judicial-killings.html

mon tulfo scolds abusive cops - my god this video makes me scared with his thunderous scolding of the cops. i thought he is some powerful government official turns out he is just an ordinary citizen but the cops are trembling in front of him.

fall of a drug queen - bitag - notice how the host exposes the possibility that the drug lord here is just a sacrificial lamb. the host is very pro duterte but amazingly, he is not bias. very rare. and this is another thing that blows my mind - the top government official appointed by duterte also exposed that there are very influential people in duterte's administration that calls him to try to help a drug lord after a raid. he is basically being a traitor towards president duterte. he even says, "very sad. very sad".  UNPRECEDENTED !!! that means he is serving the country, not the president who appointed him.
