Now, let’s read a few recent media examples:
1. A growing number of people are losing sleep over two words - revolutionary government. And it was President Duterte who freaked them out by simply stating the obvious, that all things being equal, declaring a revolutionary government is always a possibility. He cannot rule it out and neither can any president. That is the gist of what he said; that it is a possibility.
What Duterte did not say was that he was declaring a revolutionary government tomorrow. Yes, sir, he did not say that. So how come people are freaking out? Because the enemies of Duterte want them to freak out. Duterte mentioned the possibility of declaring a revolutionary government only once, and only in the context of a fallback in case the enemies of the state succeed in destabilizing the government. It is these enemies who dish out the revolutionary bogey in daily doses.
But the government is not being destabilized. There is no anarchy in the streets. The markets are still full of food and prices of goods are stable. Critics of government can still make fools of themselves without being believed, which means the national intellect still functions as it should. No one is being thrown to jail just for the heck of it.
In other words, there is no reason to fear a revolutionary government because one is not coming. But even if it did, one has to be a real troublemaker to be afraid. If you are just a normal citizen going about your daily affairs without bothering anyone, why would you have any reason to fear? As to those who have reason to fear, they must be real cowards to try and spread the fear around. They cannot bear living in fear alone.
