Some of it was slam dunk. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

(...ah, if only Samuel Johnson were still around to see how true his words would still be after all these years) My Renaissance teacher in 1975, who abhorred crass modernism, was fond of claiming that the world ended in 1784, the year that Samuel Johnson died. The world lost its way from then on. I always thought the world ended in 1958, when the Braves lost the World Series to the Yankees. I guess we all have our end of days. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Brian Klaas @brianklaas Awful news to wake up to of Myanmar's coup. A friend who lives in Yangon texted me saying that the generals were likely emboldened by Trump's playbook, as they used false claims of widespread election fraud as a pretext to seize power. (This wouldn't be the first time, by the way, as Myanmar's government committed mass atrocities against the Rohingya minority and then denounced the press while calling reports of those atrocities "fake news"). To clarify: Trump is obviously not to blame for the coup. But as I found in my PhD research studying coups after contested elections, there *is* a diffusion effect for pretexts used when militaries seize power. In both tweets above, I'm talking about the justifications used. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
