what did just happen

PugJesus ,

Arce confronted the general commander of the Army — Juan José Zúñiga, who appeared to be leading the rebellion — in the palace hallway, as shown on video on Bolivian television. “I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination,” Arce said.

Literally stopped a coup with big-dick energy alone.

Impressive.

Most impressive.

xor ,

people with all sizes of dicks and people without dicks are equally valid and capable of asserting authority and commanding respect.
stop being misogynistic

gravitas_deficiency ,

Lmao chill out, buddy. This is NCD. Im not being misogynistic; I’m simply using an idiom. We’re basically just shitposting about geopolitics.

xor ,

there’s quite a few sexist and racist idioms out there… it being an idiom doesn’t change it

Theres more than one way to skin a cat, and you are certainly sounding like a pussy.

What in the fuck

geophysicist ,

That’s some serious small dick energy

xor ,

there’s just a dick

Pyro ,

It’s an idiom

GhostedIC ,

Hey! Who are you calling an idiom?

xor ,

that is incredibly far away from the point.
yes, i know what an idiom is.

Pyro , (edited )

Would you claim someone using the phrase “killing two birds with one stone” is perpetuating animal violence?

From Wikipedia:

The phrase big dick energy denotes an easy confidence or sense or assurance and purpose. In general, having big dick energy is unrelated to whether or not someone actually has a big penis or any penis at all. The term is not gender exclusive, and can be applied to women.

Stop getting bent out of shape over stupid bullshit. It detracts from the people bringing real inequalities to light.

Ok, big vajayjay energy. Only women have vajayjays, though, and there were no women in the Coup Hallway at the time that we can see from the photos. Therefore, it was not B.V.E., powerful as it is. It was a dick-based event. Ipso facto.

xor ,

see now you’re being transphobic

nuke ,

Wait, I thought this was just a bad bit. You’re actually serious?

verity_kindle ,

Imagine this in J. Jonah Jameson, if you will, as I do not have the famous gif on hand: “WAITAREYOUSRS?”

verity_kindle ,

Big hallway energy. Zuniga had a plan for ramming the palace gates and a plan for talking to the media, he blanked on what to do in the hallway.

I don’t know what to do with my hands military

I never noticed the guiding hand, oh so gently pushing Ricky Bobby’s hand down, before this. Must be a babysitter that we never see in the movie.

Agent641 ,

He was expecting the politicians to flee and go into exile. Then he would just walk in and assume command in absence of a leader.

It gets super awkward when they just hang around and be like “No thank you.”

Then you either have to commit to killing some folks and potentially sparking an insurgency or civil war, or stand down.

rbesfe ,

Or stopped it because he ordered the general to attempt the coup in the first place.

PugJesus ,

“I’m in charge here.”

“Oh, fuck, you are? Let me check my chain of command- damn. Yep, says right here. I’ll go back to my barracks now and wait to be arrested.”

Peak noncredibility, I love how weird the world is some days.

Giving me Prigozhin vibes

Artyom ,

I still have no idea what actually happened in that. I was convinced he was acting the whole thing out at Putin’s request, but then he was killed a week later. IMO, that was the weirdest news story ever.

Agent641 ,

“Im sorry but we aren’t accepting applications for the position of President at this time.”

“Oh, okay. Can I leave my resume?”

“No.”

“Oh. Okay.”

rbesfe ,

This was almost certainly staged by the president to boost his popularity

verity_kindle ,

Same thought crossed my mind but what bothers me the most was that Zuniga’s neck gaiter makes it look like he has no neck, from that angle. It makes him look like his face is retracting, like a turtle. Why would he lose his job and look like a limp turtle’s noodle, just to help out President Arce?

wieson ,

The fact that Zúñiga claims, it was a ploy by the president to gain popularity, leads me to believe, that it wasn’t.

verity_kindle ,

This is the sauce! Thank you!
