~Sloane~ (OP) User ID: 685673 United States 05/11/2021 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No One Is Saving Myanmar - The Country's people hold out hope for international help. None is coming. In recent days and weeks, however, many people have also expressed a sense of intense anger, betrayal, and despair at the United Nations, and the international community more broadly, for doing too little to help the country. Despite the military’s best efforts to keep Myanmar offline, an array of memes and messages have emerged. In one viral GIF, a grinning cartoon soldier stands with an automatic rifle pointed at a protester holding a sign. A nearby UN official tosses a paper airplane, which bounces harmlessly off the soldier’s hat. The soldier then fires, sending the protester flying out of the frame, an animated blood trail following behind. A widely circulated image features a man holding a handwritten cardboard sign that reads just “700” people killed in “70” days. take your time un. we still got “millions” left.

~Sloane~ (OP) User ID: 685673 United States 05/11/2021 08:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is not OK that nobody is doing anything to help them. Article from Washington Post today . . . A Myanmar poet didn’t want to be a martyr. His death is a loss for humanity. “I don’t want to be a hero, I don’t want to be a martyr, I don’t want to be a weakling, I don’t want to be a fool,” Khet Thi wrote two weeks after the coup. “I don’t want to support injustice. If I have only a minute to live, I want my conscience to be clean for that minute.” [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] |
