I’m shocked how inhumane my timeline has become. When 35 people are killed you don’t make fucking excuses. You simply condemn the killers.

This was always the risk of cheering the Army and telling the world that it wasn’t really a coup. In many ways, it wasn’t really a coup. But the problem is that it was still the Army, and it’s not like we haven’t seem them do this sort of thing before.

Just last night, the Islamists were still looking like the bad guys, but the Army has now taken over that role.

We’re starting to pile up competing massacre narratives, and that’s usually what happens just before countries become totally unglued for 8 or 10 years. Who can put the brakes on this now? Can anyone?
