I'm sick of Leftists calling everything they don't like a coup

Today's topic is the Wilmington "massacre" of 1898, also called the Wilmington coup, also called the Wilmington insurrection, when Jim Crow went and overthrew a Fusion government in North Carolina's largest city.

This is interesting, because it's been blown up in the public conscious in the same way the Tulsa Race Massacre was. Those of you that have been around a while (which is most of you) know that I have a pointed interest in America's history of insurrections, none of which (besides the slavery-related ones, which are the gayest, most pathetic ones) get talked about at all. The way we remember rebellions is also very biased. I happen to have a particular interest in the Battle of Blair Mountain, which I feel in its full context is very pertinent to modern issues, but also the Battle of Athens, which was is especially important for the modern day.


In general, what do you hear about? White people terrorizing Blacks. What do you not hear about? Numerous occasions of Whites and Blacks siding to kill the rich cocksuckers terrorizing both of them.

Now, what makes Wilmington notable is that they LOVE to call it "the only successful coup in American history." The problem? The so-called coup involved a mob of over 2000 fucking people.

In other words, it's a revolution.

This is the same gay shit they do with January 6. Even if a thing is an insurrection (Jan 6 wasn't, Wilmington was), when an insurrection draws from the masses at large, THAT'S A FUCKING REVOLUTION. COUPS. ARE. MILITARY. POLICE. THE GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY ITSELF. A coup is THE GOVERNMENT overthrowing THE GOVERNMENT. Not THE PEOPLE overthrowing THE GOVERNMENT. A coup, in this case, would be the city police arresting the municipal government and installing a new municipal government. Not a 2000-strong mob.

You'd think, too, that Leftists would be able to acknowledge that a thing can be a revolution and also be bad - we haven't started calling it the Texas Coup, after all, and they hate that - but in this case the drive to virtue-signal everywhere has raped the English language. At best, you could say that Wilmington might be a putsch, a word that we do not use in English except for THE putsch we all know and love, an act of insurrection that is coup-like in that it represents a narrow faction acting decisively to topple the government through the means of a coup, but is still drawn from mass violence and not elite insider conspiracy.

Fuck this gay Earth

Like you said it's just a language thing, and another example of how leftism has dominated the cultural landscape. Revolutions honestly tend to lead to worse outcome than coups, but because of the French and Russian revolutions you get the rethoric where coups are for guys I dislike, revolutions for guys I like

Yeah, about the only revolution that, off the top of my mind, turns out fairly okay without much trouble is the American, and that's really more of a war of independence than a revolution (the governors were royally appointed, but as I understand the state legislatures basically just told them and Britain to fuck off... no "overthrowing the colonial government" phase, the colony ITSELF chose to separate... so not really a revolution).

Maybe the word "revolution" was fine to use at the time because it they had a different definition for it?

Here is text from a book that was written around the time the American Revolution occurred, look at how the word is used:
It is not my intention to detain the reader by expatiating on the variety or the importance of the subject, which I have undertaken to treat; since the merit of the choice would serve to render the weakness of the execution still more apparent, and still less excusable. But as I have presumed to lay before the public a first volume only of the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, it will, perhaps, be expected that I should explain, in a few words, the nature and limits of my general plan.

The memorable series of revolutions, which in the course of about thirteen centuries gradually undermined, and at length destroyed, the solid fabric of human greatness, may, with some propriety, be divided into the three following periods:

I. The first of these periods may be traced from the age of Trajan and the Antonines, when the Roman monarchy, having attained its full strength and maturity, began to verge towards its decline; and will extend to the subversion of the Western Empire, by the barbarians of Germany and Scythia, the rude ancestors of the most polished nations of modern Europe. This extraordinary revolution, which subjected Rome to the power of a Gothic conqueror, was completed about the beginning of the sixth century.

Seems like in that period the word was used to referred to relatively neutral changes in a government or societal ruling structure.

Also, out of those revolutions that turned out okay, how many of them were because the existing regime was extremely awful? The Romanian Revolution and the ousting and execution of Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife also comes to mind.

 
A coup is what we call an elected government? I wish a real one would take place so every libtard nightmare could become a reality.
 
I guess if you're going to autistically screech about this subject every day, calling it a "coup" is easier on the tongue than "stolen rigged election".
