Pinoy Suicide Bomber and other messianic complex Fantasies
It was found that only a small percentage of suicide bombers of the Hezbollah are Islamic fundamentalists
Some were even Christians.
It’s not about religion
It’s about protecting one’s own land from foreign occupation.
If that is the case, then, Filipinos could never produce such martyrs
Not at this point in time when the number of Pinoys who wants to leave their native land is at its highest.
Oddly, this is how, and the only way, Pinoys fight for their lot
But not exactly in patriotic sense
But in basic sense
Pinoys are fighting for the right to live decently
They can take my land anytime.
I’d rather work wiping off turd from the ass of an old fart in a foreign land
so long as I live well.
Anyway, Pinoys seem to be more patriotic outside their homeland
If I say I believe that the Philippines is inhabited by beautiful women, produces the best mangoes, has the best dive spots and is proud of Manny Pacquiao, does it mean that I have a strong sense of nationalism?
But even an average Japanese or Australian would agree with me
Does that make them nationalistic Pinoys too?
Obviously, my love for this country is as deep as that of a regular drunk tourist in a Boracay nightspot.
