Myanmar Tyranny Made Possible by Government Monopoly of Violence Ammoland Inc. Posted on Any questions, unarmed “citizens”? (Haruno Sakura from Team-7/Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication) U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “The military and its brutal practices are an omnipresent fear in Myanmar, one that has intensified since the generals seized full power in a coup last month,” The New York Times reports.” As security forces gun down peaceful protesters on city streets, the violence that is commonplace in the countryside serves as a grisly reminder of the military’s long legacy of atrocities.” Those atrocities and the “ethnic cleansing” have been well documented elsewhere, so it’s not my purpose here to recount the country’s history and developments that have led to the tyranny that has the country in an iron grip. Suffice it to say people are being brutalized and murdered and protestors and political figures are being rounded up, and some are being killed in custody. And naturally, the military is rescinding publishing and broadcast licenses.
