By this logic I could gather 10 friends from the pub, go to a government building, break a few windows, say we want to overthrow the government, then go home and call it an attempted coup. Really though, that's never been successful an

No they're usually defined by military and government officials taking over institutions to overthrow the elected government. None of which happened. And when crowds do lead to governments being overthrown, usually it's crowds in

> We can't let the laughable ineptitude of these people distract us We definitely can. The whole world laughs at the US when they call it a coup. We've seen plenty of real coups in our lifetime, this ain't it.

What he really means is that unregulated social media could cause his side to lose... Media regulation is what dictatorships do, not democracies. The left should focus more on what it claims to support (the plight of the working class) if

Again, show a quote where I "defend" bigotry? I did no such thing, rather said that preventing people dying is more important than hurt feelings. Which it is. Here in Canada Ukrainians have been attacked by Russian supporters; a

I simply said that we can talk about Russians' hurt feelings when Ukrainians aren't being killed by Russians. Quote where I said Russians should be killed? No one's killing Russian civilians. I never said anyone should. Rus

I see only Ukrainian symbols in that video. Only yellow and blue. No extremist symbols. The extremist elements of Azov have long since been weeded out. And do you know where the word Azov comes from? Sea of Azov, ie. where Mariupol is.
