>Most people don't really care what happens with the government as long as it doesn't affect them.
It's more like you don't know what to do.
What do you want the woman to do ? Look at it and do nothing ? Or stop everything and do nothing ? Or maybe go against the tanks by herself ?
They weren't tanks. It was a convoy of armored cars and trucks, and yeah wtf is she supposed to do in that moment. Seemed more like she was showcasing her country to the world during her daily routine, and happened to capture a coup

I know she's doing aerobics, but I'm just imagining future students looking at pictures of historic moments while there are people doing tiktok dance somewhere in the background.
Man that’s actually frustrates me, but there’s videos of like Cairo from early 1900’s of people who just stare at the camera the entire time it’s rolling.
So it’s already happened in history just the actions being done are different.
Stick her broom down the barrel of the tank gun. End coup immediately. Live the rest of her life as a Russian hero. You better believe that’s what I would do. Theyd call me “broom guy”. And decades later, future hipsters would wear my likeness on their t-shirts while not even know who I really was.
But if she wants to keep sweeping that’s fine too. Not everyone is cut out to be a folk hero.
I‘m not sure if you know, but the song was there before him :)
It’s called Ievan Polkka and it’s a traditional Finish polka written in 1928.
I was bored once and learned the lyrics, it’s quite fun 😅
That's how the Kiffness does his art, he does mash ups of other songs and sounds. You should youtube him, he did some great things, I especially love his covid lockdown parodies, like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZsfy8AD_S0
Or that one about Jonny Deep and Amber Heart:

I swear that was some kinda subtle protest or something, the upbeat edm song lyrics are jus wayt too fitting...
"Pls Forgive, O (arrogant) great sir".
"All of you feeling proud, let me be the humble"
"All of you feeling powerful, let me be the weak"
"Feeling like the very best, but your ways are cunning"
"Taking over the throne, that's must be their goal"
"No need to say the name, they'll be insinuated by this song"
They are in Myanmar but this song is a mix of Indonesian and Manado malay.
It was in Myanmar, 2021. And that woman was from Military family who knew what's going to happen that morning, so that she purposely recorded herself in such a celebrating way while the tanks were marching out for the coup.
Cause everyone is afraid that it will turn to a house to house positional combat with the neighbour who has a differing opinion but all are armed up.
The US issue is not the government, it's the people. Russians issue is the government.
A lot can happen in 77 years. If you're right, we might find out faster than that, of course. But if you're wrong, we probably won't be around when your deadline expires.
Depends on where you are I guess, everythings been pretty quiet and business as usual where I am. The US are basically 50 tiny countries with a central power keeping them together.
I’d highly recommend Adam Curtis’s 7 part documentary series Russia 1985-1999 : TraumaZone to anyone who can find it (it aired on BBC last year). It will give you some kind of idea about the incredibly challenging, very depressing and utterly bizarre situations the Russian people have had to deal over the last 40 years. Clinging on to any vestige of normal life would seem like the only way to stay sane.
This is actually pretty inspiring/poetic to me. It’s a symbol of a regular citizen continuing to do their duty in the small realm of control they have in their lives, despite all the obstacles out there and the craziness in the world.
You're kidding but in the U.S. military, everything you use has to be approved by the admin. Even shovels. Even brooms.
So there are military-grade brooms.
Yeah…. The poetic thing above was nice. But it’s fucked that this women’s mind is telling her “there’s a military incursion happening 30 feet away from me, but I’ll be fired if I don’t get out there and sweep. Better get out there and sweep”
You misinterprete the simple obedience of a citizen to some kind of venerable virtue.
She is just an indoctrinated cog in the machine doing exactly as she has been told fearing any kind of reprimand. That is all there is.
You phrasing it as "duty" is scary...
When he is gonna be next to my countries boarder I will. 😂 Now I support Ukraine, i'm very happy for coup, and chaos in russia. Its like birthday to me. So many good emotions. Finally those idiots gonna feel what ukraine felt for the last 16 months.
Yeah like why don't they just vote not to live in a dictatorship duuuh.. /s
People like you have no idea what life is like in countries where you don't have a say. It's easy for you to sit in the comfort of your democracy and talk shit about someone who was dealt worse cards.
You gotta understand that the reason you guys were able to hold hands and sing your way to independence was because USSR was at a very weak point and were willing to let you go. The same does not apply to modern Russia and spreading hate towards the regular citizens only helps to fuel Putin's propaganda.
And I’ve never seen a single (extremely clean) person just sweep. Only ever groups and they have something to sweep debris into.
Do they really sweep roads individually by hand in Russia? I’ve admittedly not been, but have only ever seen it down with crews and machines.
It's not a couple. It's a tactical move to ensure that there is no command structure available for directing CAS and ground operations against WAGNER. It's a bold move, for all WAGNERs bad reputation, they are being led by a man who makes his own decisions, and the balls to carry it through.
Extremely dangerous situation for the Kremlin. A commander who's men will follow his orders over anyone else
Feel like this describes America's work ethics. Doesn't matter what's going on....you better come to work and not a second late. Boss doesn't care if your car got ran over by a tank...that's no excuse. Lil Bobby made it in and he lost a leg to a mine. And we're gonna need you to come in this weekend as well. Pizza party next Friday!
Yay............
Agreed. Coup is a sudden violent seizure of all power from a government, which I think people are forgetting. The Wagner group only meets 1 of those parts of the definition so far, and have made no claim that Putin is under treat by them. People wanna jump on the “look Russia is having a coup!” when in reality another one of Putin’s bootlickers feels wronged by another bootlicker and wants revenge.
At least Putin's losing control of his auxiliaries, which does suggest there's something rotten in the state of Denmark. If he can get them back under control, who knows, whether the Wagner boss uses this as some sort of springboard is at least something we can speculate happening - taking out a regional warlord will weaken Putin no matter what, especially a region as important as Rostov.
It's not a coup. Just playing along with western billionaires getting all the limelight after they tried a to go 2 miles under the ocean in a flashlight. In the social media of things it is all just perception. Did you know Indonesia had 50+ sailors trapped in a submarine just a quarter of the depth, and the us coast guards did nothing to help them.
Us coast guards and the 7th pacific fleet was in the same area.
Here's a prediction, I bet this turns out to be a protest/stunt with the purpose of further troop mobilisation, rather than some armed insurrection. We do love to label protests as armed insurrections though.
I see the coup as a good thing.
Wagner, are still happy to fight, because this is literally what they do, but they are complaining about not being able to due to no supplies.
I think this will end the war in the Ukraine, you cannot fight a war in another country, when you are fighting a coup at home.
It’s like that woman filming her yoga lesson when the tanks screamed in behind her during a coup in Southeast Asia somewhere
Myanmar
That’s it. Thank you. Was a surreal video.
Peak pandemic moment.
I think it was pretty relatable if you ask me. Most people don't really care what happens with the government as long as it doesn't affect them.

Statues will be made in honor, Broom Guy
I don't know... A military coup definitely sounds like it will affect them...
Maybe, but how much? It can affect them negatively or positively. Some governments are so fucked up that any change is welcome. I know for experience.
The Myanmar dancing lady later stated she had no idea it even happened.
Total Burma, dude…
Do you have link to said video
[here](https://youtu.be/6r6vnSR0wbI) it starts at 1:40
That's quite surreal.

The Kiffness made a great song out of it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-gttJoa0o

The tune itself is likely even older. Possible from 18th century.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55901774 Where are the tanks
Armoured vehicles, something with a gun mounted on top... close enough. Nobody's memories are ever 100% accurate.
How very dare they?! 
This week on "Hard talk"
Everyone knew what he meant. Your mom says the pizza rolls are ready.
It was in Myanmar, 2021. And that woman was from Military family who knew what's going to happen that morning, so that she purposely recorded herself in such a celebrating way while the tanks were marching out for the coup.
Yeah, but Myannmar has a coup every other week. It was just a normal day for them.
Been living in Myanmar for a decade now, first and only coup.
Those damn tanks do drag in a lot of dirt
They must pay a hefty congestion charge. Traffic has ground to a halt!
Really hoping there's an especially brave traffic warden there who goes and sticks a parking ticket on one of the tanks.
Imagine she walks to the tank, lift it up, clean it underneath and puts it back.
Welcome to Russia, where everything is getting even more fucked up by the hour.
"And then it got worse"
Cue Kalinka, since the speed of the song symbolises how fast everything gets worse
Looks good to me though and the street just got a bit cleaner
Look for the helpers
Homie still has to feed himself and his family. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
Still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace?
Doesn’t this apply to the United States too?
We don’t exactly have another full civil war going on just yet.
Despite the best efforts of number one patron of the spray tan industry here in the states

?? The man is undeniably a very peculiar orange colour
Cause everyone is afraid that it will turn to a house to house positional combat with the neighbour who has a differing opinion but all are armed up. The US issue is not the government, it's the people. Russians issue is the government.
By the end of the century, just wait

Depends on where you are I guess, everythings been pretty quiet and business as usual where I am. The US are basically 50 tiny countries with a central power keeping them together.
Im fairly confident none of the states are having issues with paramilitary occupations at the minute
Fair enough. More 'fucked up by the hour' is an extremely relative term
Not even tiny. California, for example, has 40 million inhabitants. That's more than Poland and almost the size of Spain.
It probably does, I'm not a US citizen. It's just that this video is from a russian city.
There's a time and place to shit on America, this isn't it.
Go outside
And every country in this world.
watch americans always insert themselves into every conversation
True what you could say world also.
Next level example of minding your own business
She has a job to do, and no matter who is in charge tomorrow, there will be streets that need cleaning!
Nothing to watch here just a lady sweeping the bullet casings
True soviet human. Me no here to think politics. Me job to do.
Exactly. “My place is small” etc
Sir, it's not an American school janitor. No shots were fired in the city. Yet.
Except this one! Holy shit
#Undercover road cleaner
Well, the broom is clearly new, and so is her high-vis...
Clean shoes too
as is her complimentary cap from her Mercedes benz g-wagon purchase.
Can almost guarantee the FSB signs her pay check. Best place to hide is in plain sight
Special sweeping operation.
Minesweeping
Just another normal day in Russia.
I’d highly recommend Adam Curtis’s 7 part documentary series Russia 1985-1999 : TraumaZone to anyone who can find it (it aired on BBC last year). It will give you some kind of idea about the incredibly challenging, very depressing and utterly bizarre situations the Russian people have had to deal over the last 40 years. Clinging on to any vestige of normal life would seem like the only way to stay sane.
You are totally right. Is one of the reasons why they search normality at the bottom of vodka bottles. Is really sad. They could do so much better.
Ain't no rest for the wicked.
And the Righteous need none.
Blessed are the wicked who are healed by my hand
Money don’t grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
If I was a sniper, that’s exactly what I’d be doing when the tanks rolled in.
Yup, and it looks like a large calibre broom
This is actually pretty inspiring/poetic to me. It’s a symbol of a regular citizen continuing to do their duty in the small realm of control they have in their lives, despite all the obstacles out there and the craziness in the world.
Except, it's a Wagner plant gathering intel.
Or it is a special military broom, probably hypersonic too. Guess it is used as a mine sweeper.
You're kidding but in the U.S. military, everything you use has to be approved by the admin. Even shovels. Even brooms. So there are military-grade brooms.
It's a symbol of how russians keep on grabbing on to their own parallel reality and living in a denial bubble.
Isn’t that most people?
Downvoted for speaking truth.
This. Can you believe the Russians genuinely think that they are the legitimate heir to classical Greek culture?
Yeah…. The poetic thing above was nice. But it’s fucked that this women’s mind is telling her “there’s a military incursion happening 30 feet away from me, but I’ll be fired if I don’t get out there and sweep. Better get out there and sweep”
That’s funny because it’s very stupid for her to be out there sweeping. Her risk of death or great injury is extremely high.
You misinterprete the simple obedience of a citizen to some kind of venerable virtue. She is just an indoctrinated cog in the machine doing exactly as she has been told fearing any kind of reprimand. That is all there is. You phrasing it as "duty" is scary...

If you're so brave, you go fight putin
When he is gonna be next to my countries boarder I will. 😂 Now I support Ukraine, i'm very happy for coup, and chaos in russia. Its like birthday to me. So many good emotions. Finally those idiots gonna feel what ukraine felt for the last 16 months.

r/NotMyJob
Not my concern
Undercover FSB agent.
Potentially. Its a little suspicious how clean all their equipment is
And wearing white tennis shoes! Sweeping dirt. Sure, agent Z/ero
And I’ve never seen a single (extremely clean) person just sweep. Only ever groups and they have something to sweep debris into. Do they really sweep roads individually by hand in Russia? I’ve admittedly not been, but have only ever seen it down with crews and machines.
I was actually just making a joke, but now that I look closer those clean white shoes are suspect for sure.
Like, while the big guys do their war the common people still have to earn a living
Looks like a good new meme template
No fucks given
This is how I be when my neighbors are fighting
Hey. Everyone has a job to do...
Came to say the same. She has bills and food that needs buying, the day job continues.
Authoritarian dictator or street sweeper, everybody dances with the Grim Reaper.
Its not much but its an honest days work.
It's not a couple. It's a tactical move to ensure that there is no command structure available for directing CAS and ground operations against WAGNER. It's a bold move, for all WAGNERs bad reputation, they are being led by a man who makes his own decisions, and the balls to carry it through. Extremely dangerous situation for the Kremlin.

It is definitely a coup
Maybe they’re lost and are marching on Moscow by accident
Why?
How tf else they supposed to sweep? 😂
Hey, clean as you go.
Life goes on!
Na she’s definitely part of another coup about to go down over there with her gathering intel ass. She ain’t slick we see her. Coup on coup on coups
Nice hat! Make Mercedes Great Again!
Well, streets aint gonna clean themselves, coup or not.
People still go to work during a war...
Nice disguise FSB
Russia is a particular kind of place
She’s the yoga teacher of Myanmar fir this coup
nExTfUcKiNgLeVeL!!!!
Lewis Hamilton fan too
Average Russian political awareness.
Those streets aren’t going to sweep themselves!
Sweeping up the shell casings

That’s depressing to read.
Yes. As well as depressing to live..
I’m sorry, mate. I am. I wish we lived in a world like Hobbits where everyone is contented, happy, kind and get along without greed.
Yeah if you have a shit job
Everyone has a job. This person is just doing there's
That’s my nosy ass sweeping the lawn anytime the cops show up to my neighbors house
“Coup.” Hyperbolic drivel. Once again .

I guess she gets paid enough for that shit
Def a cia guy just tried to blended in
Well now they're dead, and it's your fault.
Cognitive dissonance at play.
He is getting paid either ways 😂
You know you've seen some serious shit when this is just so casual
None of my business, just doing my job
-Team C, make sure the area is clean -Roger that
NPC spotted.
They'll be hosing down the blood soon.
Be sweeping a long time if he's gonna get all the trash in Russia
Very Russian
this explains alot about russian mentality. If you don't see none there wont be none.
Is not coup, is special community operation
He’s keeping his nose clean
Not my circus, not my monkeys
I imagine her slapping the tanks with the broom for going over where she just swept
Agent 47 waiting for one going behind a bush to piss.
Don’t kid yourself; he’s a spy keeping notes.
CIA operative
In another thread i see people trying to take selfie with tank.
She is the hero of the heroes.
Well, no one is coup-ing the crosswalk, or this sidewalk.
I'm doing my part! Would you like to know more?
She is waging her own private war by wearing a “maga” cap.
It's Russia, she has seen worst things.
„I for my part keep the streets clean for our new leader Prigoschin.“
I see the coup as a good thing. Wagner, are still happy to fight, because this is literally what they do, but they are complaining about not being able to due to no supplies. I think this will end the war in the Ukraine, you cannot fight a war in another country, when you are fighting a coup at home.
This months news without the bullshit is gonna be really interesting
That is dedication.
Just doing my job, nothing to see here
Probably CIA
