i'm old enough to remember the attempted coup. what really fucked them up was not understanding the changes to technology > they surround gorbi with tanks > they block the roads and cut the phone lines > the radio in moscow starts playing swan lake > they talk about how ill gorbi is, and how leaders regrettably have to take over under normal circumstances, that would have been enough, since gorbi was physically limited, with no way to send information out. > but what's this, gorbi has the internet? what's that? > guys in moscow says he's sick > he's sending pictures of himself healthy live > he's sending audio files out telling everyone it's a coup > still surrounded by tanks, every reporter in the world is now talking with him over the internet
