Looks like the 中泰一家亲 will only last one Thai PM leadership
.
I don't live in Thailand. But I have family members who had stayed there for awhile. Thai politics is just complicated. There are the red and yellow camps that supports their own group of politicians. There is the monarchy, with it's powerful influence in Thai politics, the military, and Thai culture. Then there is the Thai military, who have seized power in many coups, and have their own interests.
The current PM, Prayut Chan-o-cha was a former general. He took power shortly after he ousted Yingluck Shinawatra in the 2014 military coup, when he was the general at that time. Shortly before that coup, Thailand was paralyzed by clashing protests from the red and yellow camps. Yingluck happens to be the sister of another ex-PM who was also ousted in a military coup in 2006, Thaksin Shinawatra. The Shinawatra political family have been called 'pro-US', 'pro-elite', corrupted, and other bad stuff. But I don't think its that clear cut. Sure they were very friendly to the US. But at the same time, they were also quite friendly to China. I'm sure they have their own corruption scandals, but so as many other Thai politicians. Including Prayut.
Prayut is a colourful character, with his own controversy. His unpopularity now is due mostly to his shenanigans and corruption scandals. He may have done some good things, but some of the hate he is getting is also justified. He was one of the SEA leaders who condemned the 2021 coup in Myanmar. Despite Prayut himself seizing power through a coup in 2014. So you can get the jist of the kind character he is. Prayut pivoted Thailand to China mostly because the US sanctioned him and the Thai military. So there is some context to understand there. Prayut have also been suspected by a number of Thais to be puppeting the current king, leading to abuse of power, corruption, and the other bad stuff in Thai politics.
Because of the current unpopularity of Prayut, the US is more than happy to hijack the social movement against him to suit it's agenda. They are backing Thanathon Chuengrungrueangkit, one of the big opposition leaders, to be their man. That guy is a billionaire, US-sponsored shill. I don't know enough, if he stands a chance to win the next general election, or just be Thailand's version of Navalny. But Thanathon is running an anti-monarchy agenda. So he will also get some serious hate, and probably become the next coup target if he ever gets into power.
Whatever happens to Thailand. The Thai people in general are quite positive with China. I doubt they would allow any Thai leader to truly decouple from China. Think of Thailand as like Pakistan. Complicated politics with plenty of infighting and coups. But whatever leader that runs the country is generally friendly to China.

It's simple if you trace it back historically and understand human psychology and social behaviour.
LGBT started as Gay Pride - which was a movement to advertise gays to other gays in public after sodomy (oral and anal sexual intercourse) was decriminalized in California. The logic for it is mathematical.
Proper homosexuality is expressed in approximately 3% of population because fundamentally it's a statistical error during reading of genetic code that causes the body to produce traits belonging to the opposite sex. Homosexuality is a type of intersexuality where instead of your mother's eyes you get your mother's involuntary sexual response. That means homosexuality is stable in populations and that presents a problem for finding partners.
3% means that out of every 100 men only 3 are gay. If you're looking for a partner you're likely to get punched by 97 other men who feel harassed by your advances and only 2 will be interested but they also may or may not have already met each other. For men that usually results in selection for promiscuous and non-monogamous behaviour but for women it's a problem. So women have fewer options but lower sexual drive. Men have slightly more options but higher sexual drive. In short if you're gay you're very likely to be single for a very long time in your life. The recent study done by Pew iirc about long-term sexual partners and relationships put "LGBT" at 50% in "single" category. Only straight men aged 18-30 had it worse at 60% but LGBT was not split into age groups which means that it's very lonely to be gay.
This is why Gay Pride is so obnoxiously loud. It's really the "hey I'm here" movement that - unlike the previous ones - was public. No more need for gaydar if you can pin a rainbow and be known. It's also dangerous but Gay Pride was founded by aggressive gays - narcissistic, psychopathic etc. They didn't care what they would do to others. In fact once you come out you are on your own... unless you join. And they will provoke everyone to make sure that you need to join.
--------
This is important to understand because just like genes affect our body and behaviour in fundamental and unalterable way so do memes which are the cultural "genes". If you have a movement that is aimed at self-promotion and self-propagation like Gay Pride any expansion of that movement is likely to retain those characteristics because the most attractive characteristic is to be attractive at all cost.
That means that the core of such movements and the population most attracted by it are narcissists. If you have a movement that aims to increase the attractiveness of abnormal sexual preferences (Gay Pride developed parallel to BDSM movement - which is why San Francisco is a hot-spot) it only gets worse because abnormal preferences are typically caused by trauma in childhood which is highly correlated with narcissistic and impulsive behaviour. So it's a positive feedback loop. You have gays who are also sadomasochists who are also perhaps transgender but most importantly they are also impulsive, promiscuous and narcissistic. It's self-reinforcing.
And from that it follows. First Gay Pride transformed into GLAAD - Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation although there was plenty of tension between gays and lesbians who came ejected from the feminist movement when they lost the "sex wars". Then "bisexuals" joined GLAAD and turned it into LGB. That created a lot of tension because gays were complaining that the bisexuals only disrupt their struggling community which was correct because "bisexuality" doesn't exist. It's a form of sexual sociopathy. There are studies but I won't link them to save space. After B came the "transgenders" and while there is a "transgender" aspect to intersexuality - that's how the notion of "trans" was conceived - the majority of "transgenders" are people with mental disorders and malformed identity. That means that on top of being "trans" they are also problematic in terms of personality. You can easily see this with how prominent transgender issues are currently. And it's not because everyone agrees that this is the most important thing. The transgenders are aggressive. TERF is a thing for a reason. Most "LGBT" really don't like the "T". And then there were "queers" and "asexuals" and the alphabet soup never ended. And everyone wanted to be the center of attention to scream "hey I'm here".
By that point LGBT was not about scientifically verifiable categories of human morphology - homosexual vs heterosexual, heterosexuals vs intersexuals - but rather about manifesting symptoms of mental illness centered around sexual dysfunction and narcissism. Specifically sadomasochism and promiscuity plays a major role in shaping of LGBT sexual dynamics. And because it was a movement attracting sexual partners it also became a movement of sexual predators.
--------
Think about it this way: there are two ways of engaging in a homosexual intercourse. One is the "proper" gay sex of two boys falling in love, holding hands, kissing, hugging etc. before getting on with oral and anal intercourse. Another is prison sex or sexual intercourse that arises because aggression and sexual instinct are very closely connected in human brain and can be easily conflated when the individual is not developed properly. Narcissists and psychopaths are not developed properly. A lot of their social behaviour is informed by sexual urges. That's why they kill. That's why they humiliate others. That's why they are so aggressive. It's conflation of these two instincts.
Similarly transgenderism has two causes. It can be caused by intersexuality - literally having a body that is confused about its sexual expression. It can be caused by abuse in childhood which is how you end up with the "sissy" heterosexuals who repeat unhealthy patterns experienced with parents or "drag queen" where gays pretend to be women because they were raised in homes with repressive mothers.
So now consider that all these elements in memetic terms - cultural transmission - work like genetic code works in biological terms. Suddenly you don't identify as LGBT because you are homosexual but because kissing a boy or performing oral sex is part of your sexual fantasy. Why? Who cares. LGBT is about how you "identify" rather than who you are. And the predatory gays won't complain because they want sexual partners regardless of whether they're gay or not. Abuse of minors is a huge problem in LGBT community so attraction of teenagers through online spaces is also a factor.
That's how LGBT became a movement of people who have dysfunctional sexuality but don't want to address it rather than gays finding those two other gays. I don't have unhealthy sexual obsessions. They are not symptom of past trauma. They're not something I should address. I'm just LGBTQ+. It's perfectly normal. I want to indulge in them.
Schizophrenics often have coprophiliac behaviours. I suppose we may add C somewhere there. After all it's not like someone else is hurt if a person comes in contact with their own fecal matter right? And it can't be wrong. We have to accept people for who the are. You're not a bigot are you?
The LGBT cancer is going to get worse because it's no longer about what the letters meant. It's about "if gay is OK than so am I no matter how not-OK I am". We're one step away from LGBT becoming a religious cult where "self-identify" means the same as "I choose Jesus and I am saved". That too was means of resolving mental issues. It's also very powerful as a tool of stigmatising "the other". Bigotry is the new sin. LGBT and "allies" are a new caste system. It's better to be LGBT than an "ally" so quickly invent a letter for yourself so you're better than everyone else.
LGBT as many other "social contagions" (really: memes) in the past hijacks all the hierarchy and motivation systems in our brains. It re-wires them by association with a powerful sexual drive making it very difficult to break off. It's cultural meth. This is why porn addiction is such a huge issue affecting other aspects of mental health.
--------
As for why so many identify per generation - remember that generation is not stable in time. Gen Z is currently at the height of their sexual activity and they're not getting any. They are the 18-30 age group so literally in the same position as homosexuals in terms of finding partners. So why wouldn't "hey I'm here" movement work for them? Add to that the extent to which their knowledge of sexuality and social life is drawn from internet which is a source of sexual pathology, narcissism, psychopathy and worse things... Literally many of those people know "sex" and "intimacy" only through online contact and pornography. LGBT and associated trends like BDSM look normal to them. Why would they be against it?
After all, fundamentalist religious upbringing looks very much like BDSM with extra steps and so many people are still doing it.
And don't get me started on anime/hentai culture...
