I remembered writing many times about the baffling stupidity of the so-called "nationalists". However, if anything explains their self-contradiction - it's because these guys aren't really nationalists who care about the Philippines. These activist groups are only doing what they can to hold on and grab whatever power they can. Why are these guys opposed to economic liberalization? I even dare assume that these Filipino activist politicians are just pretending to fight against unemployment to get them heard. In reality, I don't think the Filipino activist groups really care about unemployment. It's just a ruse to hide their power-hungry activities.
I'd like to pinpoint the possibility that protectionist-loving politicians may be linked to drug cartels. Why are they already protesting against the drug war and calling it to stop? Why would they bother appealing to both Carl Hart and Agnes Callamard (who re-tweeted Hart's statement on shabu) even if they are supposedly calling for "nationalism"? Callamard is a nut to really agree with Hart's statement that shabu supposedly does no harm. Even if Very Evil Files underlines the name "Carl Hart" - you can see that Callamard still endorses said nonsense.

I remembered writing an article where I linked the possibility that Migrante (or as I call it, Migraine) International could be linked to drug syndicates. Why is it that Migraine always defends Filipinos who are guilty of drug-related offenses abroad? Why do you think that Filipino activist groups always get involved in pleading with other countries to spare their countrymen guilty of such crimes? I do think that political candidates who belong to these activist groups may be paid for by drug dealers. These drug dealers may either be illegal Chinese or Filipino drug dealers. I can't be too sure but it seems that these groups get a commission from drug dealers. They may agree that for every protest done at the streets for Filipinos guilty of drug-related offenses - these politicians may get money under the table for all we know. Hmmm... why do you think many of them are living very lavish lives? I don't think the coffers of the Philippines is enough to support that!
You can consider countries where drug wars are really that severe. While some developed countries do suffer from it but not as much as the underdeveloped ones. Many South American countries practice economic protectionism. The Mexican drug cartels are very strong because of economic protectionism. If there are fewer jobs for Filipinos then there are more Filipinos susceptible to getting exploited into the drug trade. You need some good dupes in order to sell that many drugs and make that much easy money. One key to winning the war on drugs is through economic liberalization. It's because economic liberalization will provide more jobs which make exploitation less. However, with less jobs means there will be more people to recruit into the drug syndicates. These protectionist-loving politicians wouldn't want that assuming they too get a commission for being in cahoots with drug cartels in the Philippines.
