cutting the internet seems like a surefire way to get more people out into the streets, out of sheer boredom if nothing else.
Unless they intend to broadcast evidence of election fraud and want everyones full attention....lets see if they do it.
It would make a lot of sense to test-run this whole gameplan on a smaller scale in someplace like this before scaling up to something that would effect the whole world like a shakeup in the US would.
According to the Bangkok Post about 200 NLD loyalists, mostly students, turned out to protest. The number could grow, but I would guess that outside of the universities most people are simply going to take it in stride. You'll likely find just as many people offering flowers to the soldiers. I really don't think you can compare the response by general citizens in Burma to what would happen in the USA.
I honestly don't believe this is any kind of a trial run. Coups like this are too commonplace in this part of the world. I think it is simply a domestic issue between a corrupt government that rigged an election, a military who didn't appreciate it, and a small group of young activists that are idealists. It's only even getting coverage because of the global spotlight on election fraud due to the theft in the USA.
Wide scale protests don't happen in SE Asia without professional coordination and millions of $$$ in funding to pay the protesters. No cash incentive? Everyone will just shrug and keep going. Let's wait and see if anyone ponies up the cash for a serious protest. Then we might understand if there is more to this coup than meets the eye.
Fuck those students tbh. It's always the same. It's always fucking students.
I say try to forgive the students; they are young and dumb on average no matter where they're from.
Damned are those who stole their minds though. This fits right into the going theme of those in power robbing youth of agency.
They may carry some blame for giving their minds up to ideas and people like that but when it's drilled into your psyche from the time you're conscious, I feel like they don't have much chance until they can grow up and see more of the world.
If then they don't wake up then yes, they have become another box in the cabal's game. Gives "losing your mind" a while new perspective.
People on this forum are putting in too much faith in Myanamar military.
That countries been in conflict an authoritarian rule most of its existence.
No shit the public are going to panic when they have a few short years of democracy and then instantly taken away. Weather corruption or not...
Let’s not pretend that the military dictatorship that proceeded didn’t have corruption.
People are putting in way too much faith in myanamar military on this forum. And frankly it has little to do with Q or the USA situation.
