Social Punishment and Civil Disobedience, the weapons of Myanmar people

21 Sept 06:48 Key points summarised by AI

Anti-coup protesters in Myanmar deploy Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) to cripple government operations and Social Punishment (SP) to ostracize military supporters.
Social Punishment involves online campaigns to identify and shame military affiliates, extending to boycotts of public figures and businesses perceived as supporting or not condemning the coup.
The impact of SP is significant, leading to social isolation, forced relocation for military families, and even affecting relatives abroad, demonstrating widespread public pressure.
Protesters view SP as an effective tool, exposing military personnel's identities and causing social and professional repercussions for supporters, aiming to undermine the military's administration.
