And you of course don't find promoting coups to overthrow the democratically elected government of you country to be a threat to family and kids, right? That all okay. Cool.

I don't think anyone is advocating military coups in the general case.

Truly stable countries don’t have attempted coups at all, then, if you really insist on being pedantic.

Truly stable countries don't have coups at all. A coup of any kind is a sign of instability.

There's no coup, stop spreading misinformation.

If that's a coup, then obviously not all coups are worth worrying about. They really are not going to do shit.

A failed coup attempt is not a coup.

It's not a failed coup. It's just not a coup at all.

They have a suspicious lack of coup attempts in the last decade.

Thanks for supporting my point. Additionally, 'coup' in my view has the connotations of a regime overthrow by a militant minority, which does not seem to have been the case.

So... you're in favour of the current military coup?

chasd00 | karma 6692 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2021-01-07 17:10:10+00:00

i want to add again, this wasn't a coup attempt. You dilute those words and they become meaningless. It hurts the people who have lived through and suffered from real coups.

NicoJuicy | karma 10294 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2019-12-18 15:47:00

A coup doesn't happen with democracies/countries, it's dictatorships that "survive" coups.

x86x87 | karma 2384 | avg karma 2.23 · | 2023-11-18 22:01:13

Yeah no. While you may be onto something that still does not make it a coup.

Apocryphon | karma 19248 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2024-05-15 07:08:31

I'm not moralizing. There are palace coups that are justified.

flimsypremise | karma 256 | avg karma 4.34 · | 2023-08-19 16:11:45

So.. what's your argument here? That the coup didn't happen? That it wasn't backed by the US and Britain? That is was good actually?

this is the general strategy of people who don't want to face up to factual terrible things that contradict their ideology. They speak in generalities to avoid confronting any inconvenient truths.

I didn't say that at all. However, taking control of the government is exactly how coups are executed, please look into it if you haven't.

henry_bone | karma 178 | avg karma 2.05 · | 2021-01-12 00:55:16+00:00

My problem is with the description of that action as a "coup". I'm not defending those people. I'm not informed well enough to do that. But a coup? I don't think so.

Coups generally rely on military support, or some sort of established basis for taking and holding political power. This was not a coup. Or it was the shittest one ever.

You should look up the definition of a coup before making statements like that.

diveanon | karma 1465 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2021-12-05 19:43:57

Yeah, a violent coup attempt that resulted in the death of a police officer and one of his terrorist supporters is not unusual or awful.

Food for thought, you are a fucking moron.
