@yogthos thanks for the inspiration, I haven't written for some time and your little "coup" trick was a great example.
@yogthos and then count me into violent nationalists. Although you'll have a problem since I'm Jewish, just like our nazzi president 😂 who is a democratically elected next president, which is typical for military coups 😂
@yogthos well you can change a lot in 8 years, since the "last time you checked" 😂 and I KNOW Ukraine has democracy. I've seen it with my own eyes. Now we have the most advanced digital government in the world, much lower corruption (although the level of corruption is not directly related to being a democracy). But thank for the inspiration. I'll use your posts to write an article on polemic tricks.
@yogthos #democracy is within the blood of #Ukraine. We had democratically elected governments in 17th century. And we in fact have the oldest constitution in Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Pylyp_Orlyk
@yogthos a coup is a sudden violent change of government, often by a small group of people. In both of our revolutions we had hundreds of thousands of people in peaceful protest on the streets. In 2004 all went peacefully. In 2013 the police started shooting and the president ran away to Russia. He's still there by the way, asking us to give up to Putin. Great guy.
@yogthos this is literally how democracies work. If the government fucks up people go to the streets.
@yogthos we had a revolution in 2004 after the government tried to fake elections. It was called Maidan. Right after the revolution won we had open democratic elections with international oversight. That's not a coup. Same happened in 2013, when another government tried to force us into Russia. We had hundreds of thousands of people on the streets fighting for freedom, and then democratic elections. That is NOT a coup.
