Clever way to demonstrate that practically nobody supports the military

So they just stayed inside? Dumb. Didn't hurt anyone but themselves

We know what happens next

If everyone collectively stopped buying a product for a month; would send a message from the people.

I don't think this would be a good way of protest - it becomes a protest curfew.

If we had that much solidarity in the UK, or for that matter anywhere else, we might actually achieve something.

This is a really smart way to protest in my opinion. Kudos to everyone sticking to it as well.

This is Better than what happened in SA

Looks eerily familiar lol

How hadn't i heard about this?

Without the majority (foundation) there is 'nothing'

People power it will win in the end

Poor Myanmar, such a beautiful country, such friendly warm welcoming people, I feel for them! 😭😭😭
