For context, a woman went viral during the Myanmar Coup in 2021 for dancing/doing a “follow along” exercise routine as police and military vehicles rolled in behind her. People from Myanmar added that she was dancing to a protest song. She is wearing a mask because this was during the Covid pandemic.
That’s the greatest banner in the history of coups!
Burma had a better coup because at least they were in shape and exercising
America just lines up at McDs and orders extra cheese and gravy to go with their 4 gallon soda while the government falls apart.
Bro please don’t make fun of America right now. I’m on my third heart attack today and can’t afford to see the doctor again this year.
The coup is not going on, it has already succeeded.
Almost, democracy is still in its death throes
“democracy” is went to the farm and it aint coming back
We protected democracy when we punished the party that skipped an election. We sent the signal that it is not acceptable to skip an election. That is good for democracy. It would have been very bad to reward the Democrats for skipping their primary.
Jesus fucking Christ. The GOP is ignoring the constitution, but you think the real problem is how the Democratic Party is picking their candidate?
Jesus Christ, this guy would rather institute fascism than let democrats bend the rules in an unprecedented situation.
punished the party that skipped a primary by rewarding a party that didn’t accept to engage in peaceful transfer of power. I’m trying to think the last time I heard something as dumb as this
That woman is what we call ignorant, I am saying this as Myanmar myself(woman in photo is quasi support on Junta).
And we are currently heading to Syria like situation, minus Assad kicked out phase. If Xi Pooh really going to back junta further, it will be quite hellish in coming years.
She cute
Protesting through dance is indeed very cute.
For more info, please watch Newsies, a 1992 musical drama about the paperboy strikes produced by corporate behemoth Walt Disney Pictures :)
It’s wild to me how consistently the internet can comment on a woman’s looks no matter what the context.
I would say something like this if there was a good looking dude up there… I really doubt it has to do with her being a woman. Did u see the thirst for Luigi? He’s not a woman.
This is a wild misrepresentation. Luigi is an outlier when it comes to women commenting on a man’s appearance on the internet.
I’m sorry you feel that way but I wasn’t being derogatory.
These tired tactics are getting tired.
Idiots online can’t read tone and make up intent to they can argue…
Thank you clarifying. Not everything is fucking a culture war issue jfc
Please keep distracting from the class war or people might start noticing that we’re losing!
Lmao, what?
People said suspect pictures in the killing of Brian Thompson were attractive too.
See other comments.
Would
the name checks out
Didn’t expect this to be such a controversial opinion lol
This “coup” is a new administration being elected.
No. It’s very specifically the things being done after the election to weaken the legislative branch’s ability to enforce checks and balances on the executive branch. This consolidates power in the presidency, breaking the entire safety net that our constitution put in place.
To be fair, I do think it’s a bit different than a coup. If strong evidence comes out that the election was tampered with (which I could believe) then I’d call it a coup, but as it stands right now, it’s more like the American people voted to try a dictatorship political system out
Coup implies hostile takeover but Musk & Co. were just handed the reins to the US government
The executive branch is taking power from the legislative and judicial branch. By taking the power of the purse and by ignoring judicial orders.
The executive branch is executing a coup. Like by definition. No one voted to throw out the constitution. We voted for a president that had checks and balances. Now that they are in, they are ignoring the checks and consolidating power.
Right, yeah I can agree when it’s put that way. It’s definitely an interesting situation to say the least
Oh, we’re playing the literalist game. I didn’t realize. Yes, if a coup requires a violent overthrow, then that may not have happened.
I would think that modern coup definition could be extended to include tricking a large number of people through media brainwashing. I guess it depends on your minimum definition of violence. Is brain washing a violent act?
Dude broke his oath 2 hours after he took office
