Egypt

I just got out of a cab driven by quite the Egyptian man. I have a bit of a relationship with him, I've tasted his lamb. When I went out drinking tonight, after listening to a bunch of NPR, I was thinking about asking him about this goings on. As soon as I sat down, he brought me the "Egypt it is crazy, my cousin, (for lack of a better word to describe shooting noises) was killed.
Shit is certainly going down but the thing that threw me off most was that Habiby seemed like it was expected. He gave me a "90 million people in Egypt half are crazy." sort of thing, apparently he had massive foresight. I'm drunk.
I just think of a thought, that back in the day those Occupy pricks were greeted with force. I don't even understand the implications but god damn, a grip of people are dead.
Hearing Habiby give a sort of brushing aside with the "I'm American now" made it seem like it's way worse than the news will tell you. He absolutely gave a 3500 dead when what I was listening to was in the hundreds.
I suppose this is why you don't mix booze and current events.

Yeah it's out of control over there. Death everywhere. I was checking out CNN earlier and what's going on over there at the moment is pretty staggering.

Some reporters interviewed a man out there in the middle of all this, they asked him if he was afraid for his life when he went out to the protests and he rambled on about "no, I am afraid for my religioin" and what not.

While still wildly drunk, I will say that a passion for something, whether or not you think religion is worth being passionate about, and got dang, willing to risk your life for, should be considered. you come across saying that it's fine that all these people died because they have faith when I'm pretty sure that what they're fighting for is democracy.

You know, good sir? My drunk ass needs a good settling. I don't know why I didn't find comfort in my old man expatriate friend. Talking to him tonight, language barrier aside, was that he saw this shit coming. I do know why I gave you a sassy reply, it's those drunks. I should have never started listening to talk radio. shit just seems crazy

Yeah, I'm really shocked at how little coverage this is getting in America. This is worse than Syria. This is a bloodbath of unprecedented scale against peaceful citizens.
Obama says, we gotta support our ally in the region.
Jesus Christ. Somebody stop the globe, I'm ready to get off.

It looks like the global community's tolerance of the Syrian government's "crackdown" on its citizens during the Arab Spring emboldened Egypt to simply depose and massacre disagreeable elements of their own population.
We're seeing something really ugly in process here.

that pink thing is so tiny and give some consideration that I'm clearly new here. I feel like I'm following some sort of rule that there are no women on the internet and that on the internet no one know that you are a dog at the same time. those feelings should be ignored and I will be embarrassed by my behavior here tonight, this morning, wherever you are. I shouldn't ever have entered any sort of trying to talk about a current event. I don't really know shit.

Eh, I was actually about to make a thread about it minutes earlier. I can't believe how little coverage this getting, how little discussion it's getting on the social networks. Nobody cares, but this shit is insane. People need to be paying attention to this.
The randomly executed Iraq war turned us all anti-war. When Syria committed unbelievable atrocities against its people, the global community was still riding the anti-war high and they looked the other side as its entire civilian population was chiseled down to a resistance, then justified their inaction by calling the resistance "Islamists". This apathy has emboldened Egypt's much more powerful military to cannibalize its own population in a similar way.
Why can't we go to war when we need to? Why do we go to war when we have clinical retards in control? Why do people stop paying attention immediately before the bloodbaths occur?
I was under the impression the death toll is in the hundreds, too, and I'd already felt this way. But I wouldn't doubt it at all that the Egyptian military could be capable of covering up the real death toll. 3500. Jesus.

I'm pretty chill, you may or may not know how drunk goes. I'm pretty. I would say 5/5. Frank Zappa is the only thing guiding me through the rest of this post. shit tons of sax, man. don't worry, I double checked. I did see lots of lost "s"es, I don't really know how to describe how poor the ytping was but I'll say it was close to yping. fuck man. I don't know if it's sad that the only real outcome of this thread is some rabble rabble about "don't kill people" or what. I'm just new to keeping up with current events and this one seemed like, holy fuck.

Actually no, I don't. How does it go? What happens when you drink? Do you just take one sip and feel it or do you need to drink more? Will I become addicted? One day I hope to try it, I've seen bars near my place before.

I'm drunk right now. Shit is still fucked. I wish I knew how accurate this figure was, I seriously wouldn't doubt it.
Much of the near east has been transformed into a multinational no-holds-barred gladiatorial arena for the military industrial complex.
It's going on in Israel too. http://warincontext.org/2013/07/25/how-gaza-and-the-west-bank-became-israels-weapons-testing-lab/
America's in support of Egypt and Israel, Russia's in support of Syria.
Jesus Christ, move me to a tiny island in the middle of the ocean.

You can't believe how little coverage this is getting?
-Egypt overthrows long-term dictator -Elects islamist president -Country doesn't like islamist president -Army desides to oust him -People protest against the army's action -People protest against the protestors protesting the army's action
like... why would random people pay attention to this? We've collectively been tapped out on our random middle-eastern violence. We stopped caring about Iraq and Afghanistan, and those are our boys over there. So, no surprise here.

I only hope that I didn't interrupt your pull here and now that I'm typing this I think that you should make a thread about this topic. while you're turning me onto some shit right now, this could probably reach more ears under your influence.
