Does Jim Paredes OWN the Edsa People Power Revolution? 😱
By the way he acts and speaks on the video below, he certainly does.
This is a man who seems to have single-handedly reduced Yellow activism to a tired, old, and has-been relic of 1980s emotionalism. The demeanor he exhibits in the below video encapsulates the flawed way with which his generation regards the youthful aspirations of today’s Filipino — authoritarian disdain to quash an aspiration for something different.
What Yellowtards seem to not get is that it was the failure of the Yellow brand that dragged the once lofty equity of the so-called “revolution” down to sad irrelevance today. It was the failure of the Yellow brand that prompted Filipinos to rethink things and consider a man from their country’s deep south. And it was the failure of the Yellow brand that made an entire generation of Filipinos desensitised to promises of “justice” and “reform” coming from the Old Guard of Imperial Manila.
Jim Paredes, being a part of the machines that canned Filipinos for 30 years, should be the first to understand why he is all but a joke today. The Yellow brand no longer owns EDSA and neither does Jim.
