Today is the birth anniversary of The Great Dictator who’s enjoying a posthumous rehabilitation primarily through online revisionism. The generations that disowned him have come to discover new generations cultivated to admire him. A thread of readings on what this says about us.
A two-part reflection on Marcos' life, and the chapters it can be divided into, from 23007. mlq3.tumblr.com/post/351681918…
A reflection, on the centennial of his birth, on his life story being the incarnation, in many ways, of his generation's resentments: his success was considered a validation of a particular Filipino way of thinking and doing. quezon.ph/2017/09/11/spo…

Prepping materials for (possibly) my first vlog; some slides I have often used in presentations as exceedingly useful in discussing what we think people think when we think of how they think through their votes, a thread. Image
1. From "Vote of the Poor," the characteristics of a bad leader/good leader and what people claim influences them most in deciding whom to vote for. ImageImageImageImage
Ateneo study, "The Preferred Filipino Leader: How do our current leaders measure up?" A kind of word cloud of feelings. After all politics is about feelings. ImageImage

An interesting read, on the communication styles of Robredo, Lacson-Sotto, and Moreno, with the author making the case for Moreno being the successful communicator with a winning message. My own quick thoughts in thread. link.medium.com/KbonhYYOojb
First on Veep: the biggest obstacle was news on her didn’t/wouldn’t get out, and here media deserves scrutiny aside from the tactics of swarming her supporters on the part of the President’s people.
Second on Lacson-Sotto; it seems clear their angle is to pitch themselves as improved (calmer, more competent, not-wierd) version of the strongman leadership 2016 proved is a sizeable and energized constituency. Plus as senators they are proven vote-getters on a national scale.

My column today points out if there is one government office that has known what to do throughout this pandemic, and has done it successfully, it's the Vice President and her office. opinion.inquirer.net/143937/the-wid…
Here is the veep's YouTube page, which I mentioned in my column. youtube.com/c/LenirobredoPH
And because you probably missed it, some recaps from the veep's page. 1. Oasis for health workers

Some thoughts today on the situation as it's emerging, a thread. Taking a cue from thinking all day/night about what a reader commented yesterday.
I've long argued that administrations fail/fall less from the doings of their critics/enemies and more as a result of a misstep by presidents including their eventual inability to corral their coalitions. Outside pressure is constant given, but will fail in and of itself.
What will do a president or administration in is as old as the story of power itself: more often than not, hubris (granting this is always accompanied by nemesis).Even when there is an instance when there is an "emperor has no clothes" moment, that's often self-inflicted.
