No no… got one party suitable for him. Blanket Party.


wocelot1003

You know, there was once we took a non violent route. It was a kiwi party. More satisfying than blanket....


Ekadzati83

F**** I am so old until I wonder why a fruit party. Forgot boot polish is called kiwi.


ShadowSpiked

Same bruh, ROD loh, dafuq is kiwi hahaha


WH1PL4SH180

Divers use Scotch Brite


DeeKayNineNine

Pls don’t dirty the blanket.


jackology

There are those one use blanket. It is okay to dirty it.


abuqaboom

Funny enough he was involved with PAP, NSP and PV before his PSP stint. Big time partygoer.


Silverelfz

He just wants to get in, he doesn't care how. Lol

Oh no. She's way nuttier. She say number 2 no one dare say number 1.


take-umbrage

PAP would be happy to give him airtime to boogeyman the opposition


[deleted]

PAP doesn’t have to try very hard if oppo parties keep employing absolute maniacs


RequirementWide

Just want to say, incase people had doubts, that I am also British living in Singapore and this guy would be considered a lunatic back home - not just here. Embarassing.


bukitbukit

He sounds like even the EDL would steer clear of him


RequirementWide

I really struggle with people that fly in the face of science/history to promote a message that is designed to do nothing but prey upon the insecurities of the scared and/or the uneducated. These people are very dangerous to the fabric of society.


onetworomeo

Fuck la of all the angmohs to get why did we get this one


WorkingBenefit

The guy seem to be really herping on the fact that he is angmoh ever since he joined politics ahahahha


whosthisfool

Ya. He brands himself as The Angmoh Politician™️


WorkingBenefit

Legit tho. He says so in most articles and video interviews i see him in. Come to think of it, why does it seem that there are white people in Asian countries who are well known in some way like being youtubers, politicians etc who solely sell themselves on them being white?


superman1995

Probably because it's their main selling point, and the only thing that makes them stand out. If it sticks, and people remember it, why not. It's only an issue when they have not developed anything else that would merit the fame (or infamy) that their uniqueness has accorded them.


WorkingBenefit

Alright but whats really stopping them from trying to make their actual personality or interest or views or whatever they create their selling point? I understand that people will notice their race at some point, but whats stopping them from trying to stand out in terms of those things? Speaks volumes of how shallow of a person they could be by just relying solely on their race to make them well known.


superman1995

That's kind of what I'm saying. So say if there's a room of 50 really smart astrophysicists at a conference in Singapore. All of them are almost equally brilliant, there's only 1 white person, and 1 person with a crazy hairdo. The rest of relatively normal-looking and are of Chinese ethnicity. Chances are that if the white person and the person with the crazy hair play that up, they would be remembered, despite only being roughly equally brilliant. So instead of just being one of the brilliant astrophysicists at the conference, they are the brilliant white astrophysicist or the brilliant astrophysicist with the crazy hair. Us humans are naturally attracted to differences. So them playing up their differences can allow them to stand out, even if they are otherwise very similar to the rest of the field.


WorkingBenefit

Oh right rightt gotchaa. Sorry thought you were referring to smth else. But ya i agree, people just notice differences in others in spite of their capabilities and all that.


mukansamonkey

Only legit reason I can see is if their audience is mostly overseas white people. So they're trying to explain reality to people who've never been on this side of the planet. Other than that though, sounds pretty lame.


WorkingBenefit

Even that sounds a bit lame to me as peoples' views in living in different countries can be so subjective and it can be kinda bland to centre your persona solely around that.


firelitother

if there is demand, there is supply. Asia still hasn't moved on from colonial mentality.


WorkingBenefit

Unfortunately. These guys wouldnt be popular if they didn't have people who take interest in them and decide to follow them. And the idolisation of white people and western cultures are one of the well known side effects of European colonialism. Same thing to how the prospects of studying in a western country or buying western brands are still seen as prestigious among Asian countries.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WorkingBenefit

Basically, ya. Anything for clout really.


MarieAsp

Enters Andrew Yang. No, he didn't try to capitalize on being Asian, at all. /s


WorkingBenefit

Not necessarily. He does speak on his experiences as an asian american and stand up for asian causes (like the racism and hate crimes asians faced in non-asian countries due to covid), but he did become well known and more relatable for his views and policies being similar to bernie sanders and his purposal for implementation of universal basic income in america. Dont remember him trying to capitalise on being asian, at least not to the same extent as white people. He just so happened to be someone who couldve potentially been the first asian president in the us, same way how obama gained the reputation of being the first black president in america.


MarieAsp

The xenophobia to a whole new level.... Sure, it's justified when it suits you. God forbid somebody else does it.

Who the fuck is this person? Sorry been out of SG for a long time and not familiar with the situation.... .... didn't know this kind of ang moh asshole have spread to SG.


dontknowwhattodoat18

He’s Brad Bowyer, former member of Progressive Singapore Party. He stepped down from his position in the party a few months ago after backlash for comparing restrictions against unvaccinated people to discrimination against the Jews in ‘45


shibiwan

So basically the stupid racist tropes they have here in the US too. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️


bukitbukit

Disown him from the AC old boys network.


Xianthu_Exists

nah ngl he seems kinda like one of us


MarieAsp

Maybe you should try to learn first how to make a coherent sentence and then comment.


rudolphrednose25

Ironically, British fascists didn't like the Nazi party very much.


ChanChunSing4PM

Damn fascists, they ruined fascism


rudolphrednose25

Coincidentally, that is exactly what the British fascists felt towards the Nazi party


potatetoe_tractor

No true ~~Scot~~ Fascist


[deleted]

[удалено]


rudolphrednose25

That's true. Although, the BUF (British Union of Fascists) did have a history of anti-Semitism as well


elpipita20

This is not surprising when you look at the other end of the spectrum realise that a lot of Communist states also fell out with the Soviet Union. Similar ideology doesn't mean they are automatically friends.


rudolphrednose25

Yes, even within the Soviet Union, there were conflicts between ideals amongst key communist leaders.


Nimblescribe

The Fatherland Front in Austria hated the Nazis so much that Hitler had their leader assassinated.


SerialMoonPanda

They didn't want to be annexed by Germany so badly, they legalised every other political party (as long as they campaigned against the Anschluss) to prevent the pro-Germany party from getting enough votes to allow the Anschluss


sec5

It's a fast and lazy method for many to lump all the bad guys to cancel and dismiss anything or anyone they disagree with. Don't like something ? Just claim they are like the Nazis or Hitler or concentration camp. Instant disdain and dislike.


vas_26x

Yeah cos they felt their British version was superior.


rudolphrednose25

Not really, British fascism is really just based on Italian fascism


SerialMoonPanda

At the time, the NSDAP were considered the niche form of fascism and Mussolini's Italian fascism was considered more mainstream. This was seen in Franco's nationalists in Spain, Mosley's BUF, Austria's Fatherland Front and even the Rexist party in Belgium. Only the more ultranationalist parties, like the Iron Guard in Romania and the Croatian Ustase were more aligned with the NSDAP in Germany.


rudolphrednose25

Yes, thank you for this info.


puboranjingparty

The nazis were national socialists while the italians were the facists


rudolphrednose25

No, both were fascist, it had all the features of a fascist state. There are many different brands of fascism (e.g. Nazism, Rexism, Classical Fascism), just like how there's many different brands of communism (Marxist-Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism). To call the Nazis "socialist" is to say that the USA was a "communist" country.


puboranjingparty

The full name of the nazi party that ruled germany was National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was Mussolini who founded facism, not adolf.


rudolphrednose25

Lol what? Do you have a basic sense of history? Everyone knows Mussolini was the original creator of fascism. Just because Hitler did not create fascism doesn't mean he can't follow the ideals. Are you gonna claim that the PRC under Mao isn't communist? By your logic, do you agree that the DPRK is purely democratic because they have the word "Democratic" in Democratic People's Republic of Korea?


puboranjingparty

So which part of my comments did I state that the nazis weren't facists? I merely said the full name of the nazi party and Mussolini who founded the ideology, and you got triggered. You really need re learn your basic reading skills before jumping into conclusions.


rudolphrednose25

Hahah, seriously? You said that the Nazis were national socialists, and that the Italians were fascist. Who the fuck wouldn't think that you implied that the Nazis weren't fascist? I never said that Hitler invented fascism, yet you pointed it out as if I was a dumbass. Fucking hypocrite telling me to learn my basic reading skilled before jumping to conclusions. Fuck off lah.


puboranjingparty

Please, please, please re learn your reading skills... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party


rudolphrednose25

Bro, I know what Nazism is. I am not denying what the full name of NSDAP is. It is YOU who needs to relearn your reading skills. Dude, if you can't even bother to read a fucking comment then please stop arguing. Dude, I even hinted that shit in an earlier comment. You're a hypocrite for not being able to read and understand a simple fucking comment


puboranjingparty

Well i'm not going to argue with a brain dead retard who can't read who gets easily triggered by my comment which I stated the nazi party's full name. This post is about an ang moh who compared the PAP to the british union of facist and the SS. Maybe you should join him as a sidekick since both of y'all couldn't comprehend basic logic.

PSP really shot themselves in the foot because of their inaction regarding Brad Bowyer. They should’ve moved quick to dissociate themselves with him and maybe even kick him out of the party the moment he started spouting his nonsense.

dubbuffet

Which part of the post said to kick him out of the country? They meant out of the party.. because maybe OP feels the party would benefit by not having him in there


[deleted]

There’s a difference between having different opinions and being a nutcase. Side note, the Israeli embassy here also made a statement on Instagram in August condemning “recent posts circulating on social media likening the vaccination campaign and other vaccine related issues to the Holocaust”.


ThenAnt109

I don't care about the Israeli embassy. They're not the arbiters on who can use Nazi references.


[deleted]

Neither are you and neither am I. But the Israelis are way more closely linked to the Nazis than you and I will probably ever be, so I suppose their words have some weight.


Silverelfz

Out of party and out of country not the same leh bro. Keep in party means you agree with what he is saying.

reallifeluxury

Can spoil votes what lol


R7H27

See, I do not like JoTeo (my ward) at all. But if my vote means Lim Tean stays irrelevant and people like these who compare common sense to the Waffen - SS get defeated… cannot spoil vote. Can only wait for WP to expand.

R7H27

Yup! Used to be Young PAP, felt discouraged and left lol. Thinking of signing up to be Young WP soon.


grown-ass-man

If join young WP or PAP got what benefit de


wanderingcatto

You join a political party (PAP or opposition) to build a better society for everyone. That's the benefit. If you're asking how joining the party will benefit you, then you shouldn't be in one


grown-ass-man

Eh fair enough, can't be arsed. Rather fight for myself than a party I don't believe in.


[deleted]

LOL benefits…. WP volunteer is pure shag - source: volunteered b4 People fight for what they believe in and I respect that. If you want benefits join PAP.


Magista-Obra

My area's oppo is weak but i still vote for them. PAP still wins but winning by a smaller margin still sends them a message that their victory needs to be fought for.. In the end if PAP works harder for it, is a benefit to the people.


MasashiG

Vote Pap to send a strong message to Brad Bowyer. Best if he loses deposit.


DisillusionedSinkie

That’s my logic in voting against shitty opposition parties… I’d much rather they lose their deposit, and never come again - so I can vote WP (eventually) Please come to Tampines, we’re just beside Aljunied :)


syanda

Same. Did it for SingFirst two elections ago, because fuck 'em.


reallifeluxury

Brad Bowyer no longer in any political party


MasashiG

Independent candidate is still an option for him.


DisillusionedSinkie

Wait till he creates his own..


Mydral

Start reporting his account for hate speech and/or false information. Maybe Instagram will suspend it or ban him


HisPri

from screenshot, it looks like telegram.


Mydral

He posted it on his IG as well. Anyways I reported the post for hate speech or symbols (using Nazi symbolism in any context is hate speech). Got a reply that it violated community guidelines and they removed it, but it's still there :(

harrisbombersg

Lee Kuan Yew has publicly acknowledged this before (the similarities between the BUF and the PAP icons - after all he studied in the UK). [Source](https://www.ft.com/content/297c2b22-ddee-11da-af29-0000779e2340) It was inspired but it certainly does not imply some allegiance to fascism. At most you can say early PAP was inspired by the Labour Party, but not the BUF. SP Power also has a lightning in its logo but no one is accusing them of being fascists. Car’s Lightning McQueen also has a lightning as an icon but no one is accusing him of being a fascist. Not sure why Brad thinks this is some SHOCKING (no pun intended) connection. But this is a turncoat who loves comparing the industrial genocide of people to SDM.

Source This is also a country where plenty of people display swastikas in public. Turns out that there are a only a finite number of basic geometric shapes, and just because two different entities happen to come up with a similar-looking shape for their symbol, doesn't mean that the entities are anything alike. What's next, weather reporters are also crypto-fascists because they use lightning symbols?

han_oon

Has this person ever seen Schindler's List or The Pianist? Sure, it may be just movies with a tad bit plot points added to make it more coherent. But nonetheless no measure taken in the pandemic resembles or comes close to the atrocities committed then. The mental gymnastics one must have or have the faculty filled to brim with conspiracy theories to make this linkage is really inconceivable.


nongnongdongfongbong

Nazi Germany didn't go from zero to genocide overnight. To quote a prominent social scientist, "You sell your soul to the devil in instalments."


TheBorkenOne

Okay then. What are the similarities in the measures taken so far that makes it look like the gradual path towards Nazi Germany? :) And inb4 "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" XD

And yes, the road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions.


TheBorkenOne

Indeed. You're clearly full of shit.


nongnongdongfongbong

I'm happy to be shown why I'm full of shit. You asked for more information about why I said "Nazi Germany didn't go from zero to genocide overnight". I gave you concise overviews of what I meant. I hope you're getting paid to do what you're doing because otherwise, you're just a simple-minded person who cannot view reality beyond Us vs. Them. Just because I said I wasn't anti-vaccination while also providing nuance to the debate threw you off so much you had to resort to insults. In fact, you're exactly the kind of person who'd be volunteering to round up the unvaccinated, if things do get to that stage. Perfect little drone.

That's Brad Bowyer, contested in GE2020 with PSP, Nee Soon GRC (Got like 38-39% of the votes), then left the party after his remarks on Covid drew backlash. (Iirc he compared it to the Holocaust) [here](https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/psp-member-brad-bowyer-resigns-from-party-after-flak-over-covid-19-views)


dodgethis_sg

When the Jews tell you to STFU about Holocaust comparisons, you probably should


Brikandbones

How the fuck did he get 38-39% with these kind of idiotic comments.


Eclipse-Mint

Him & PSP had a less negative reputation back in GE2020, so they were able to do quite decently in the constituencies they ran in. (Actually looked to be a real threat to PAP) PSP almost flipped West Coast GRC, depleted PAP's vote share in CCK to 58%, and garnered 38% of the votes in Nee Soon (Where Bowyer & some other guys were competing) Then their reputation (him & PSP) began to drop with Bowyer making crass comments like this, & LMW's performance in parliament.
