HAVE you responded to the six questions posed by premier Prayut Chan-o-cha? If not, you could be branded unpatriotic. If, though, you faithfully and dutifully replied, you risk being labelled a naive sucker.
It isn’t easy to be a good citizen these days. If you take a public position on certain political issues, you stand a chance of being thrown under the bus. If you keep quiet, you could be accused of being an irresponsible member of the public. If you start your argument with the line that goes “on the one hand... but on the other...”, nobody will have the patience to hear you out.
