Myanmar’s military took power from an elected government after detaining civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and several other politicians on February 1, 2021. The coup came after Suu Kyi’s party won landslide victory in a November 8 election, which the military claimed to be fraudulent.

[@chocolaa-p2689]

Mas they actually are, as someone in the comments a different but related youtube video said one person said, “Aung San Suu Kyi has proven to be just as willing to turn a blind eye to genocide as her military predecessors.” to which some guy replied, “To give her the benefit of the doubt, it isn't like she or the civilian government could do or say much. The military junta didn't give the reins of power to a democratically-elected government, they agreed to share a certain amount of power with said elected politicians. The military had a guaranteed 25% of all seats in the national legislature, which means Constitutional amendments are impossible unless the military agrees. In other words, Myanmar has only been a "democracy" for the last decade because the military said it could be one. Sure, Aung San Suu Kyi or her party could have taken a more forceful line against what the military is doing to the Rohingya - in which case what happened yesterday would have happened some time ago, and as of today Aung San Suu Kyi would be marking the Xth anniversary of her latest house arrest.”

Don't let what happened in Chile happen in Myanmar! Do not allow yourselves to be disappeared! Maintain a strict code of communication that spans 24 to 48 hours. Find a clever ways to conceal information if things get that bad. If you do not hear from the next person in your communication tree within 24 to 48 hours, run and hide! If you end up being captured, take "interrogation" for 24 to 48 hours and then tell them everything about anyone that you know so you can save your life.

[@davidfreeman3083]

Glad u mentioned Chile though. Not many ppl knows that. I think that unfortunately for Myanmar situation is a lot worse since Chile b4 Pinochet was already a pretty well established liberal democracy. But Myanmar was under military dictatorship for 50 years. However, Chilean political and protest musics are the absolute best! Really hope that Burmese (and many other) ppl can get to know some of them, like venceremos, el pueblo unido jámas séra vencido, and Chile la alegria ya viene, etc.

@@davidfreeman3083 if it's worse, we have to be ready to see tens of thousands of people killed and tens of thousands more just plain disappeared. By the way, the coup in Chile is on the verge of happening again. It gets worse every school vacation when students come home to see that their government is continuously being replaced with horrible people.

@@davidfreeman3083 in addition, communism never existed. Communism has just been used as a label for failed attempts at communism / socialism. There's a very strict set of rules that you have to follow in order to be a communist country and frankly I think it's just as difficult as finding perpetual motion.

Before y'all priviledged people sitting in your cozy house start making judgements like "oh but she could have voiced out..." SHE COULDN'T. You guys just don't understand how evil 3rd world military dictators can be. If she spoke anything off the script, the coup would have come sooner. And it's obvious the smear campaign was successful because the west eats up whatever the media feed without thinking critically or doing any researching, stripping off the Nobel Prize and titles, making her the figurehead of the genocide. "Oh she was racist against muslims.." Nope.
