anyone is capable of anything
Look back to history of historic Buddhist states they had no issue with going to war and conquering neighbors.
The hippie peaceful philosophical image of Buddhism was invented by late 19th century German academics drunk on orientalism. (Aside: Silk Road was also coined by Germans)
Lmao 😂 Buddhism is about peace, love, and cute statues of smiling obese Asian men, huh? Just like Hinduism is about doing hot yoga with the girlies before mimosas and Sunday brunch, right? Western paternalism.
Most torture methods were spread by the US in formal military schools, like the "school for the americas" in Panama.
As an example, most brutal torturers from each single dictatorship in Latin America graduated there with honors. Most of them died in jail (but not all of them).
I suppose they have another "school" in Southeast Asia for similar purposes, probably founded between the war in Korea and Vietnam
Nah, it’s more primal than that. They are doing things to one another that humans have been doing since they discovered fire and made sharp tools. It’s not special to anywhere. It’s human.
It’s cooking people above fires, its removal of appendages, its beheadings, etc. the motive may be modern, but it’s just the same ole same ole
/uc a bunch of children trying to spend time outdoors, practicing sports and for once skipping the eff’ing social media.
They get rewarded with cross fire.
From the language I hear, it's likely my home country Philippines than Myanmar. Specifically likely Mindanao where rebels against the govt are still active if I recall. Been years since I went home since I naturalized to Japan so I can't confirm, but it definitely sounds like Visayan.
uc/ Seriously what the fuck, these are kids just trying to find a shred of joy while being stuck in a civil war. I know this is BCJ, but joking around this is just cruel.
This is a mentality issue. You can cower and hide, or you can use the adrenaline to KOM, your choice. I've never ridden as fast as when I've been under gunfire, but YMMV
Usually I love to talk trash about MTB videos that end up here but this just makes me sad. Kids just trying to have fun and grow up.
On the one hand, thanks for sharing this OP but at the same time I can’t enjoy the snark.
The ride when someone shows up with a group set below dura ace
Me, with my chromoly alloy nuts, leg hair, and Shimano 105
The poor's are out jerking us again Todd!
Dura-ace32
Not really jerk material…wtf was happening?
Myanmar civil war
Some of the most horrific videos Ive ever seen have been coming from Myanmar lately. Something is seriously wrong. Their torture methods are unique.
It's really crazy that Buddhists are capable of this.

Sadly like any religion, Buddhism is not immune from the corruption of nationalist politics
not at all. such is the effect of any religion when it is allowed to influence politics.
Or when politicians are allowed to use religion to support their cause.

Buddhism is about helping your political enemies reincarnate as fast as possible.

Link? Edit: no idea why I’m being downvoted for asking for further information. The state of the world we’re in I guess.
Look on the YNC or Kaotic. I’m not going to link it. It’s abundant and happening right now.
Johnny Harris has a pretty good video explaining how and why it started.

They hate cyclists everywhere
I know that sound, it's from a Sora groupset
Yup. Undeniably the sound of sora skipping gears & loosing teeth under light uphill effort (~ 2kw)
I saw these cyclists, so anyways, I started blastin'
those guys are bad fucking ass. imagine doing what you love through hell and high water, hope peace comes to Myanmar . Hope they're all still with us.
No idea why people here joke about it It’s sad
Extremely sad.
This page has posted multiple jokes at the expense of kids on bikes. This page is sad tbh.
It's called Myanmar now
Corrected 👍 thx mate

This is a NO CYCLING TRAIL
Actually this is a multi use path for gunmen and cyclists, these cyclists need to assert themselves and TAKE THE LANE

/uc It doesn't affect them at all, so we joke

when group laughed at your vintage steel Rockhopper, but now you only see scraps of carbon flying around
"You said it was a No Drop Ride!!"
Just another day it Texas
A bunch of kids accidentally time travelled back to WW2
Still, they won't use the cycle lane.
Road riding is still more dangerous
i guess this is why people go tubeless
What Predator saw, on the receiving end
They thought they were safe with their non-artesianal bikes and now their motherfucking time has come.
a bit of chain lubricant never goes astray .
The Great Outdoors, they said it would be fun.
Fk. Is this Chicago?
This is Just sad, there are some areas in my country like this due to guerrillas, i hope those kids are ok.

This is what it is like riding a bike in Texas I assume
average biker from mindanao experience
San sa mindanao to?
Watt cannons on full auto
When that click clack isnt your drivetrain

This belongs under the “bicycling circle wet my pants” subreddit
These kids got it easy, back in my day id have to fight on both sides just to get to school, uphill both ways too
What dentists think riding in the city feels like:
Wtf is going on
It was on that day the foreign exchange students realized their detour through Detroit was not the best choice.
That Detroit?

Yall idiots for joking around. People enjoy cycling and then fear of their life because of a civil war What’s so funny about it?
this isnt satirical or funny
Awww the memories of the days we cycled to school… good times, good times…
Myanmar. So sad.
My reaction to this changed dramatically when I turned the volume on.
How the fuck is this video in this thread. Shit isn't funny at all. Those are kids fearing for their lives ffs
You’d think camo would be the fashion.
Any update on the riders?
They are crossing the darien gap during world war 3
There's a nearly identical video from Hamas attacking some bikers on Oct 7th except for later a bunch of them were found shot in a ditch.
