I've been reading about the 2016 coup d'état attempt in Turkey and it has really fascinated me. Was there any chance of it being successful? It seems like the whole thing was poorly organized with no real leadership. What steps could have been taken to actually pull it off?
I'm not sure this belongs here
I see people on social media saying that the capitol hill attack was a coup. I personally dont think it was a coup attempt. Then in July the same people were praising/indifferent to the CHAZ. I personally don't think it was a secession attempt. But the logic must be applied consistently. either neither of them are serious attempts at insurrection or they both are. Not just over playing the side you don't like and underplaying the side you like. I see them both as angry disenfranchised people doing the only they think will get attention and support for their cause. 'A riot is the voice of the unheard' regardless of political voice. Not to sound too peak centrist.
Trump rhetoric encouraged the attackers behaviour before the capitol Hill attack. It was criticised by centrists/left/Biden.
rioters destroyed or attacked federal property.
eventually the state apparatus kicked all the rioters out.
Mayor Durkan underplayed the CHAZ and her rhetoric encouraged the CHAZ. it was criticised by centrists/right/Trump.
It worth also pointing out that during the autonomous status the shooting/murder rate was higher than when under normal seattle police control.
rioters destroyed or attacked federal property.
eventually the state apparatus kicked the rioters out.
they are very similar in how they operated and panned out.
I wondered what you thought? please critique.
Has it seemingly been forgotten?
Have you visited Turkey since then? Have you noticed any significant changes in the country due to the result of the attempt?
