Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
General Min Aung Hlaing, this article likes to pretend that he's a civilian leader, not the head of a junta that took power through a coup.
Myanmar is currently at war with the entirely of its population. The junta is at the centre of a Burmese supremacist movement that refuses to devolve power to the other ethnic groups in the county. Young men are fleeing the county because they don't want to be conscripted into the war.
I get that the Aung San Suu Kyi side are liberals, and the West is evil, but it doesn't make the Myanmar junta not a kleptocracy. I challenge anyone to find a Myanmar leftist who defends the junta.
Yeah I don't have much of a grip on Myanmar but my big takeaway is that the folks 3D printing guns are probably at least a little bit more worthy of listening to than this dude
Yeah, defending the genocidal junta that literally nobody likes, isn't the DAE BASED?!?! HECKIN' BIG CHUNGUS anti-imperialism that OP seems to think it is.
The Communist Party of Burma, the People's Defense Force (armed wing of the ousted lib government), and the various ethnic insurgencies (who run the gamut, ideologically) are starting to put aside their decades old differences, to fight this junta.
Kill the redditor in your head. Geopolitics isn't a marvel movie
Dont forget the juntas role in the rohingya genocide, if they are collapsing its their own fault
