The psychology of being a DDS

As a PRRD supporter, how do we view the Kakampinks?

We see them as elitists. We voted for Duterte because he campaigned on a promise to eliminate criminals, particularly drug pushers, and instill fear in them. Deep down, however, we acknowledge that the ex*****on of his war on drugs was flawed. There were instances of police abuse, and innocent lives were lost. Yet, we still supported him. Why? Because we were desperate for a safer environment. We turned a blind eye to the collateral damage, believing it was necessary for the greater good. That’s how desperate we were. We were fed up with traditional, soft-spoken politicians. We wanted a leader who would curse at criminals and strike fear into them. Coming from the lenient administration of PNoy, our vote for Duterte was, in many ways, a protest vote.

The Kakampinks, on the other hand, believe that a bloody war on drugs is unnecessary and that human rights must always be protected. But to use an analogy, drugs are like cancer in our society. We don’t need a mere ointment—we need chemotherapy, radiation, or major surgery. Kakampinks, in our eyes, represent everything we oppose. We dislike how they insinuate that we are ignorant voters who need to be 'educated.' They assume we worship Duterte, but in reality, he simply represented hope for a hopeless drug problem, and we admired his no-nonsense approach. They dismiss us as mere internet trolls, failing to understand the depth of our frustrations.

To us PRRD supporters, Kakampinks are seen as detached from the harsh realities of the streets. Many of them come from middle-class or higher-income families, born into privilege and far removed from the struggles of ordinary Filipinos. Yes, as DDS (Diehard Duterte Supporters), we are aware of the police killings in the pursuit of drug pushers and even users. But we don’t prioritize defending the rights of pushers and users because, first and foremost, drugs are a destructive force in society. We believe in tough measures to address a problem that has plagued our communities for far too long.

Daming nagpopost ng stories nila how drugs ruined their lives. Umeepal na naman ‘yung mga feeling Immanuel Kant who are equating collateral damage sa victims ng drug menace.

(Yes. Collateral damage. I'm just saying things as they are, blunt mang pakinggan. Ganyan ang realidad ng mundo. In measures like the war on drugs, collateral damage is inevitable.)

There is a categorical difference between the suffering inflicted by crime and the actions taken by the state to suppress crime.

If a society tolerates crime in fear of collateral damage, then it is surrendering itself to lawlessness. If the state acts decisively against criminality, EVEN AT A COST, it upholds justice for the vast majority.

“But what about rehabilitation,” sabi ng mga shungang liberal.

Rehabilitation is ideal in theory, but reality is much harsher. Alam ko ‘di n’yo mage-gets ‘yan kase nakatira kayo sa tore ni Rapunzel o sa bundok ng Tralala.

The argument that drugs are merely a "health issue" ignores the sociopolitical reality of the Philippine drug trade. We are confronted by a system deeply entrenched in organized crime, corruption, and violence.

Ano ‘yun, pakiusapan natin ang mga drug lords na magpa-rehab sila? Sabagay sa inyo din nanggaling ‘yung “Don't tell women how to dress, tell rapists not to rape” katangahan.

This is a favorite liberal talking point lifted from Western countries that have entirely different contexts. In places like Portugal or Switzerland, drug use is primarily a health issue because they don’t have rampant narco-politics, armed cartels, or crime syndicates controlling communities. Their governments function with high institutional efficiency, unlike the Philippines, where corruption enables the drug trade to thrive.

Applying a Western model to the Philippines is naïve at best and dangerous at worst. The same people who argue for rehab ignore the reality that drug addiction in the Philippines is a weaponized social disease.

“EH PA’NO ‘YUNG INUSENTENG NADAMAY,” sabi nung kunwaring concerned pero ayaw lang talaga si Duterte kase taga-Mindanao.

No government seeks to harm the innocent, but in any aggressive effort to dismantle a violent system, the possibility of unintended casualties exists. An action can be morally permissible even if it results in some negative side effects, provided that the intended goal is just and necessary.

Society has to choose: Do we prioritize protecting innocent families from crime, or do we romanticize rehabilitation while criminals continue their trade?

POINT: If the state acts decisively against criminality, even at a cost, it upholds justice for the VAST MAJORITY.

Without the drug war, even MORE innocent people would have suffered. You want to talk about innocent victims? Start with the families destroyed by drugs.
