Mods be on some BS
Can't make a post that criticizes black ppl or it gets deleted with the quickness
But posts that talk about white people like dogs stays up for weeks (except for that redneck post)
i made a post asking about the murder rate in chinatown and it was deleted within 20 mins
but mods let some ***** call me a bitch on here and the mod actually joined in with her and stomped on my neck himself when i asked for moderator assistance
reason #4080 why this forum is dieing.

... With all the issues that people feel the mods have or whatever other business is in play, it's still the best forum on the web for POC and religious minorities. Browse GAF threads the moment an innocent black youth is killed and stare in awe at some of the things that slide past people. Reddit is toxic as well.

13044776, Who squashes a coup?
Posted by murderbear, Sat Jul-16-16 07:34 AM
I'm waking up to report of this shit being largely over and 1500+ military being in custody.
So, when the military bucks up with tanks and shit, who squashes it?
Cops?
Other military? That shit must be chaos, like two teams playing hockey in the same uniform.
I know its kind of a dumb question but I'm genuinely curious
|
13044778, In this situation it was protestors and loyalist police.
Posted by AFRICAN, Sat Jul-16-16 08:03 AM
Generally speaking for a coup the whole military has to be on board , either they agree to carry out the coup or are 'pacified'.
Add in intelligence services and media and get s complicated .
That's why dictators keep sacking and replacing people .
They try and make it as hard as possible to pull off a coup.
Also this is probably why the Turkish attempted coup is failing.Erdogan replaced the generals who were hostile to him.

13044838, Protesters was beating on tanks wit metal poles. Aint no Coup bihh
Posted by Riot, Sat Jul-16-16 06:23 PM
Seem likes the Coup leaders focused on taking over the TV stations and social media instead of.... The actual govt they said they wanted
Issuing press releases
Then getting duffed in the newsroom by local pd, random citizens, and the other half of the army
|
13044795, If it really was us backed then they probably weren't the good guys

13044836, ^^^
Posted by Flash80, Sat Jul-16-16 06:01 PM
supposedly the turkish PM is more pro-islamic than the state department would like, so it's conceivable that the CIA's hands are in this.
outside of israel, turkey was/is america's lapdog in terms of a forward operating airbase (pivotal early on in the iraq war).
