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.
