Agree with this 100% btw.
The hashtag was meant to be more of a joke than a gotcha type deal.
Where are you from?
Honduras.
In my country is illegal for a president to have more than 1 term, it is incosntitutional, the current president made a lot of moves to force it.
He even had the support of the Obama and Trump administrations at the start (since he aligns with their interests on the region), but since the DEA has been digging a lot of dirt about his ties with drug cartels they have tonned down their public support to him (they still support him though)
Right now his brother is in prision on USA for drug related crimes, plus some other close relatives, friends and associates.
Is speculated here that his 2nd term was a way for him to shield himself and his familly for any kind of extradition as much as they could.

I’m just looking at the history now as I’m pretty much clueless about Honduras.
The guy in power is there after a coup?
Partial disagree.
Racists are clinging on this saying: “Oh, look at this, they’re all looting! That’s what this is all about!”
But we have many people that see live coverage in the news and recognize that the looters are just using the peaceful, correct protests as a distraction.
They are completely separate, even though the looting does hurt the movement because while most people will agree that the cause for the protests is just, the looters will be lurking around waiting for a chance to wreak havoc.
100% agree on this though. A bunch of black squares on Instagram amounts to roughly fuck all in the real world.

No, the coup was around 2009, the military removed the by then president because according to them, he was trying to do the same the guy on power now did.
They inmediately surrended the power to the Vice President so the elections could continue as planned.
The big differences are
The President at that time was a very populist president, so he passed a lot of laws in favor of the people, something that the private sector didnt like.
Most of the politicians here are essentially the same as the private sector.
So they worked alongside the military to take him out.
Since he was going to use the preliminaries to ask the people if they wanted to start a revision to the constitution to remove the clause that disallows prsidents to have only one term.
He wasnt planning to run on that election, but was trying to laid out the process so he could run in the next electoral cycle.
They removed him because they didnt want that.
After that, the political party he was part of became fractured, and the current one that is in power, became stronger, since what was then the biggest political party is ow divided into 2 that cant reconcile their differences after what happened to the president that was taken out.
Without going into much details, the current political party is historically behind all the military coup deats, big acts of corruption and basically everything that keeps fucking my country over.
Is essentially a crime organization masquerading as a political party.
Everyone knows they have deep ties with both the military and the narcotraffic cartels.
But, since they lean more to the right (we actually dont really have right or left, because both parties lean towards right in some cases, and left in others.), they have been historically supported by the usa, since they were allies during the cold war and their proxy wars they had over the latin american region.
The massacres during the 50’s and 80’s are all on them.

I wouldnt generalize the people criticizing the riots as racists.
Right now there are a lot of contradicting information floating around.
Where you dont even know to what extend there are true peaceful prtests and how much there are violent riots disregarding property, and this without taking into account those using the riots as means to loot.
I think that criticizing and trying to put down the riots is valid.
And people trying to shame everyone for not supporting the riots, key word riots, not protests, but riots, are isms and ists is not doing the actual movement any favors.
You dont win advocates by polarizing people.
It is why when we had our protests we took extra meassures to apprend any rioters and looters, because otherwise the goverment would use them as an excuse to justify their position.

I agree, that wasn’t my intention and I worded my post poorly on that.
I meant that racists are using the looters as an excuse to hold their beliefs.
And this is happening in the protests, I’ve seen it multiple times live on the news that whenever someone took an action like throwing bottles and rocks at the police, they were immediately reprimanded by the protesters themselves.
This is very important, it gives more legitimacy to the protests because they’re actively attempting to make the protests peaceful.
Pair that up with how small groups of looters pop in, often at night and always far from the bigger groups (since they’re closely watched by the police.) and you realize that the looters are only using the peaceful protests as a distraction.

Got sick, last night, thought I’d play some 3s with someone here today, but I am currently in bed shivering as if I live in Alaska while the temperature is 28°C.
On the protest topic
I cannot believe this guy won an actual election.

Policemen attacking foreign journalists that were doing nothing but reporting what was happening. Is this Russia?
I’m just kidding of course: Russians are professionals at running an oppressive shithole, they know you’re supposed to deal with journalists only when nobody’s looking. And not the foreign ones.
Well, at least now we know it’s the looters who are the real problem.

By the way, I actually finished rewatching the Boo arc of DBZ last week.
It is not as horrible as one would think by how it is talked about, but it is an “idiot plot” through and through.
I do really like the Gohan in Satan City arc a lot, which is the reason I wanted to re-watch this specific saga in the 1st place. It feels a lot more like OG DB, and I always preferred OG DB to DBZ.

They were running on fumes by the Buu saga. I would have preferred they focus more on Gohan in high school than they did.
Buu himself was actually a pretty cool villain. Not so much as an antagonizer, but his design, the way he fights, the way he’s like a gum. It’s pretty cool. Even the way Buu changes the smarter he gets as he’s absorbing. Kid Buu just looks like a rabbid wolverine.
Gohan should have been the one to finish Buu. He was stronger than Goku was at Super Saiyan 3.
Super Saiyan 3 stamina draw being so high, no living person could sustain it, was also a cool idea, but Goku ultimately lost to Buu because of it. I kinda wish they explored that part in Dragon Ball Super vs Super Saiyan God and Blue.
They kinda did on Beerus’ arc.
SS Red just dunks on SSJ3 power-wise. So its stamina drain is unviable to the point of unsustainability and it’s weaker than a form that doesn’t have that heavy of a drawback.
There ain’t much to explore.

I mean, a staminaless drain Super Saiyan 3 form is never explored. How powerful could it have been? Yes, God and Blue will take over, it was more of something to explore before moving on. Kinda like how Kaioken’s limit is 20x and was used against Freeza, before moving onto Super Saiyan.
Edit: Thinking about it more, Super Saiyan 3 is so under used by Goku. He never actually fought in that form in the tournament of power. The manga guys have him use it often.

Didn’t he use it against Caulifla for style points?
More like: “This Kaiokek x20 didn’t work, good thing Freezer blew up the baldy or we’d all be toast.”.
