An elegant meme for a more civilised age.

True. I’m not taking any takes here to be definitely true. I was just interested in other people’s perspectives until we get a proper response. :)

He didn’t really know for sure, either, I don’t think. That’s why it’s weird to me that he just ‘surrendered’. Was what happened completely legal this way? Can he not go to prison?

I don’t support him, if that’s what you’re asking. I’m just curious about sociology and politics. :)

Couldn’t that have been just because of the immediate confusion and indecision about escalating by the lower unit commanders?

There could have been infighting in the military, but he surely would have had quite some support, no? Why not take the chance if he already commited to imposing martial law?

Edit: sorry if it came across like I support the guy. I don’t. I’m just interested in sociology and politics. If you downvote me, could you explain what I’m getting wrong?
