"American Revolution"

Revolution is usually connected to a Freedom Movement

yeah that sounds negative to me lol

While Coup is connected to a Forcible Power Change

word games ey

@Beck kek, are you a dirty brit or is english not your first language?

piss off, im getting better

Also "Revolutions" are usually tied to the end being a Democracy
While "Coup" is usually seen as military Coups, and end in Totalitarian Dictatorships

While reality they should be interchangeable the connotations prevent it

what about proletariat revolutions?

so its literally just optics

sound bad to me

@galesteppes It would be Bad, but they use "Revolution" to make it sound good and grow support

i guess the difference is that people will often refer to themselves as fighting for revolution, as revolutionaries
nobody wants their government takeover to be called a coup

It would more be the Proletariat Rebellion

why dont we just use "Freedom Fighters" & "Bad guys"

because you need to hide your bias

otherwise the normies will be unconvinced by your propaganda

We use all of them. But you have to remember, One group can be called both, by 2 different viewpoints

It doesn't become set in stone until a winner is found

then whats a neutral term?

war

fighter

combatants

ah! combatants

i like it

sounds strong

LOL... liked the NPC meme @Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

🤣

Speaking of coups.
It's worth watching the whole thing, but I'm linking at the most relevant part.

so..

why is the US doing a regime change in soon-to-be-"independent" venezuela?

no

The US isn't the only one who backs the Interm President...The world Minus China, Russia, Turkey, and some random socialist/Islamist nations have all backed it.

Oh and the Holy See, cause the Pope is a Socialist.

so the US and its allies/client states back the regime change

Mexico

not unlike libya, iraq, etc.

syria

Bit different there. Many nations were against it.
