A few important fact to remember:
S. Korea lived under some form of military dictatorship from 1965-1988!
Brazil lived under a military dictatorship from 1964-1985!
Democracy is not an abstraction to these folk, it's a vulnerable thing that they want to protect.

It should be easy.
That it is not is the challenge we all face.
Archive has never been a more important word than now.
Document it all. Everywhere. In every format known to us.

United States do a great job destroying democracies. 👍🏾
At least they have some idea thanks to Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza. If we told them about how many S. American governments EOS has overthrown they would say we’re lying.
People that remember having to fight for their rights keep it moving (including several marginalized groups in the US).
sadly this recent scare we had falling on its face was more related to international support and incompetence of a few ppl
WHAT FUCKING COUNTRY?!?!
Estadunidense não podia falar em público, puta que pariu.
how about "*were forced under* military dictatorships by US State Department and foreign intelligence apparatus meddling" ?
bit of a mouthful there, sure, but you can never be too precise about these things :)

much love :3
The Third Republic (1963–1972) was not a military junta, by the way. Thanks for being an obstinate guy.
(which won't happen)
It's spent most of its history under caudilloism.
And that applies here
Portugal (1932-1968)
Greece (1936-1974)
Here most people are going to find out.

It's funny how few Americans who are not Black either remember that or seem to even want to remember it

it is not that it doesn't matter to us. It matters in a sense, because our lives are affected by US politics, whether we like it or not. What I am saying is either one is bad for us. Some may be worse, but none is good.
Since the party realignment after we let Black people vote, R's have been the worse warmongers, but D's have sucked on that front too until Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan & ended indiscriminate drone strikes.
