Would Monsieur like a coup? It's just a tiny coup, just a little...

At least our fascist dictator didn’t apologize for his attempted coup

"How could I have known you were going to overreact."

He actually held a press conference about a month before the coup attempt to say pretty much exactly that in response to his scandals

Need at least 8 charisma to weasel out of a failed coup

Reminds me of my grandfather, who noticing the gas station attendant was trying to overcharge him, called him on it. The man gave a nervous laugh and said “you can’t blame a guy for trying.” Grandpa said, “no, I blame you for stealing.” But that’s when people had a sense of shame.

"Don't have a coup, man."

"I didn't know it was wrong!"

davlip.bsky.social•157 days ago

“Nobody told me it was wrong. I mean, other presidents do it all the time and no one jumps all over them. Look at Trump!”

My bad! Heh heh. I didn't think people would get so upset. Let's let bygones be bygones, shall we?
Thats what this sounds like.

I said some things, you said some things

He could be saving us a lot of time if he just did a press release in Notes.

lids.bsky.social•157 days ago

Mistakes were made

ellebae.bsky.social•158 days ago

in actuality, that's the average Korean man apology (the patriarch is right, and your feelings are disruptive)

ericbertsch.bsky.social•157 days ago

Sincerity is v important here.

swannknight61.bsky.social•158 days ago

uh.

Did that work and let him keep his job, stay in office?

I'm trying to picture thousands of Koreans saying in unison, "That's okay. Just don't be a tyrant next time."
