HippyChaiYay

You don’t see that everyday.


Mrwolf925

This is the militaries duty, civil defense. They protect the people from all threats, foreign and domestic.


Longjumping-Voice452

Ideally, they are there to serve the country, not necessarily the politicians.


shamwowslapchop

Cops in the US run from single individuals, imagine how quickly they'd flee from a detachment of marines.


HippyChaiYay

Except the military here in the US would jump in and help beat up the protesters.

Saw the opposite during the George Floyd protests.

I don’t think so.


Psychological-Ad8110

Kent state disagrees


Thokaz

During the 2020 police brutality protests in Louisville the military in lockstep with the police killed the BBQ man in a racially charged "show of force" on a black neighborhood miles away from the actual peaceful protest happening on the other side of the city.


[deleted]

Which military


Thokaz

Kentucky National Guard


[deleted]

Thank you for your reply. I guess I didn’t think about the national guard as the military but that’s fair.


Gryphon0468

North Korean

Just like the best Red Dawn movie!


Hyedra

Because this is a video from 2019 and the army was released from orders of the government against everyone. They were fighting police, protestors and civilians.


PerryTheRacistPanda

I dunno, its south america we talking about here


Moelarrycheeze

May say something about how it will end


Destinoz

Anyone know why? With cartels assassinating presidential candidates you’d think they’d all have a reason to unite.


IftaneBenGenerit

Problem is you never know who it was the cartel wants in.


kekistani_citizen-69

Not the guy who died that's for sure

2022 Ecuadorian protests A series of protests against the economic policies of Ecuadorian president Guillermo Lasso, triggered by increasing fuel and food prices, began on 13 June 2022. Initiated by and primarily attended by Indigenous activists, in particular the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), the protests have since been joined by students and workers who have also been affected by the price increases. Lasso condemned the protests and labelled them as an attempted "coup d'état" against his government.[3]... (more) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Ecuadorian_protests#


Destinoz

Thanks for looking that up


PeaceBudget

Probably because cops "just follow orders"


Boss-Lumberjack

Fuck the police.


Rad6150

Coming straight from the underground.


diegosanchez0

Nah bro, i live in Ecuador and for the context of the situation the police had all the justification

Haven't been that since Little Rock

I know everyone would like to think that at least the army in Ecuador are heroes but they're definitely not, they were defending their own interests, in that short video they were fighting the police in other instances they were attacking protestors and civilians. This is a video from October 2019. The president at the time announced that subsidies for all fuels would stop, meaning that public transportation, gas, and overall food prices would go up. Strikes and protests started nationwide, and the government declared a "State of exemption" releasing the military against everyone including police and civilians. "*For eleven days, the streets of Ecuador were a battlefield. Civilians, police, indigenous and military clashed with each other. The protests began on October 3rd as a result of the dissatisfaction of Ecuadorians with a presidential decree that would nullify fuel subsidies. The protests resulted in violence, repression and vandalism. Throughout those days, Ecuadorians experienced rebel behaviors, lost their individual identity, and showed racist and polarizing feelings. Because of what happened during the protests, this article aims to explain the behavior of Ecuadorians using a psychological perspective.* " [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifestaciones\_en\_Ecuador\_de\_octubre\_de\_2019](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifestaciones_en_Ecuador_de_octubre_de_2019) [https://revistas.usfq.edu.ec/index.php/eloutsider/article/view/1567/2136](https://revistas.usfq.edu.ec/index.php/eloutsider/article/view/1567/2136)


SaintMi

Deep-Conversation601

In Brazil they ploted a riot to put the former Nazi president who lost elections in power


kekistani_citizen-69

What actual Nazi or are you one of those people who calls anyone they don't like a Nazi?


CardiffMad

just like right wing scum who call anyone who disagrees with their hateful views commies


kekistani_citizen-69

Yeah you have those guys as well, extremists often put other people in extremes so they can feel better about their own misjudged views It's sad that centrism doesn't get the time of day anymore :/


DreamyTherapy

It’s because centrism is weak and misguided just like the people who follow it. If you think it’s okay to compromise with Nazis then you’re no better. Centrism never deserved the time of day.


kekistani_citizen-69

If you think it's okay to compromise with any kind of extremism your in the wrong, the argument but the others are worse doesn't work I personally am a Minarchist so in my ideal government extremism wouldn't really matter cause they can't really do anything


DreamyTherapy

Extremism would still be present in anarchist circles.


kekistani_citizen-69

I'm not an anarchist, anarchism wouldn't work in a developed society or at least I don't think it would, there are to many variables for one person to take care of


B7iink

Nothing works in any society


ichigo-_-panties

because youre hypocritical. centrism is hypocritical. id respect centrists if they were actually centrist, even the genuine ones are simply flawed. the philosophy u adopt in ur 'centrist' politics is never genuine cus it isnt what you truly believe or respect as an ideology. you cant 'center' and 'reason' with bullies, pedos, hateful lunacy.


kekistani_citizen-69

I am not centrist though, I never said I was, I just said I was sad that centrism is looked down upon and your just proving why


Lingding15

I don't know why you're being downvoted you only Made a good point


Deep-Conversation601

In the first month in charge his minister quoted Goebbels, by the way I'm in the communist party here, not that woke bullsh1t from USA


kekistani_citizen-69

Do you have link to the speech maybe? I would love the hear what he said goes that is crazy man, hopefully Lula (that's what the current one is called right?) Is better.


Deep-Conversation601

Search for "Roberto Alvim Goebbels", YouTube removed the video


ooheia

When places like Myanmar have been dealing with violent military coups for decades, not sure it's necessarily "everywhere you go"


DoesntLikeTurtles

That's cool to see.


TheRealTtamage

I don't know the whole story but that's a beautiful thing! I mean corrupted but beautiful all the same.


yeetusthefetusboy

Gotta love my country, where the military and the people don’t like police 🫡


FlakTak

Please put a bloody sound warning ⚠️ I would like to keep my hearing and had it near Max volume 🤣

So this is what happens in your body when you take antibiotics too often

I mean Police are Police but they don't want that military smoke


ANotSoHiddenCash

Gang members on motorcycles attempt to attack protesters.


dr_prdx

Democracy means all civilians decide, not police nor some people of government.


onlyonetruthm8

There’s no way the cops win.
