The bickering between the Yellowtards and the communists, for example, was about who is really genuinely against the anti-terror law. They quibble over the oxymoronic notion of a “humane” counter-insurgency program. And…
Yellowtards soldier on despite the odds of a victory. Credit them for that. Some clues as to what exactly fuels this remarkable persistence is in a tweet recently fielded by their chief “economist” JC Punongbayan.
