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.
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.
I can’t imagine a legit celebrity musician coming up with a better music video. Nothing staged is going to beat a “nothing can phase me” dance video during a real live coup.
I am laughing at myself because I find myself irrationally frustrated by the asymmetry of her dance. All of her step movements are in one direction, and then back to center.
Why are we like this? What a stupid thing to get irritated about. And yes, you too, reader, have pet peeves. Maybe different ones, but it’s still silly to get irritated by them.
People love symmetrical patterns and proper ratios our brains seem to be fine tuned to noticing and examining them for information and correlation. Theres a billion theories as to why, nobody really knows. Me I personally think that the universe in totality is somewhat conscious and has a deep appreciation for the fundimental abstract truths baked into the concepts of symmetry and higher levels of complexity forming beautiful tapestries of order. As we are higher complexity beings spawned from the universe we inherit this appreciation that lead to the creation of life and our awareness in the first place.
Symmetry is a contravention to chaos, so you may have something there - independent of the spiritual aspect, which you are of course free to believe.
Laughing at your illogical thinking is a good sign though!
Just imagining showing the video to someone and them going, “But…her movements aren’t symmetrical!!” as a missile launcher rolls in behind her is pretty funny, and very on brand for the energy of the OP.
That’s the greatest banner in the history of coups!
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?
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
Jesus Christ, this guy would rather institute fascism than let democrats bend the rules in an unprecedented situation.
This “coup” is a new administration being elected.
Dude broke his oath 2 hours after he took office
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
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.
She cute
Didn’t expect this to be such a controversial opinion lol
It’s wild to me how consistently the internet can comment on a woman’s looks no matter what the context.
People said suspect pictures in the killing of Brian Thompson were attractive too.
See other comments.
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?
Especially when most of her face is covered by a mask. “She has pretty eyes” would at least make sense, but I suspect in this case it’s just code for red fever.
I take that back. You can’t even see her eyes. She’s skinny and Asian; that’s probably all that mattered.
I think you’re overthinking it a little. She’s fit and wearing flattering athletic wear. I don’t think people saying she’s attractive is indicative of them fetishizing her ethnicity.
“Red fever”?
Yellow fever? I think I got the wrong term. It’s not something I use or think about a lot :shrug:
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 :)

the name checks out
