Why did you guys vote in the muslim brotherhood in the first place?
Because the vast majority of the Egyptian population are so called muslim, but in all reality, they are retards who know jack shit about Islam.
They're just cultural Muslims, which is down right retarded village idiot culture.
The problem in Egypt is Egyptians, the U.S. can only attempt to manage the situation in their favor, but they can't hold your hand and walk you to the candy store.
Do Egyptians even know what kind of government they want? Flooding the street and shouting demand for change is vague and chaotic.
Do they even know what democracy is? lol, i highly doubt the simpleton mind rabbit soup drinking village idiots know what democracy really means.
People are mainly demonstrating out of economic hardship, doesn't matter if you can vote in the next asshole in line if the economy stays the same. And your so called revolution has only worsened the Egyptian economy.
In comparison, things were better under hosni, Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad etc...
You want a revolution? it will blow up in your face, and rightfully so.
The discussion was mainly about that disgraceful support given by the US administration to terrorists Islamic fundimentals groups. However, you do come up with a few good points about the revolution that I don't necessarily disagree with. And for the record, I don't blame the US for everything that went wrong here.
From an economic standpoint, I am an upper class, I had all my prosperity and wealth underneath Mubarak's regiome. However, I supported the revolution simply to seek a better life for regular Egyptians, introduce a democratic life with equal opportunities to my fellow Egyptians, and stop the ethnic supression to groups such as The muslim brotherhood (MB). The revolution itself was made for a good purpose, I believe.
What went wrong was the transition period after the revolution. This is understandable, and similar to what happened in other revolutions in history (for example, the French Revolution). It takes time to build the foundation of democracy (constitution, political parties, etc). Democracy is not merely a process of counting votes, it is the whole ecological processes and laws. It is a case that can not be compared to the established democracies you have in the west (though it is already fucked up in its own way in the west!!)
IMO, the mistake that happened was basically we rushed into the voting game before even making a constitution that lays all the necessary foundations. For obvious reasons, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) pushed to have election to be done as early as possible as they are the only organized group on the ground. As result, and with the support of the US, the Muslim brotherhood (MB) won and came into power. Again for obvious reasons, i did not vote for them but I fully accepted the result.
Over the course of the first year, MB president rebelled against the Supreme Court, the army, media, and all the authorities of the Egyptian state. With their extreme, fundimental views, they also tried to change the fabric of the Egyptian society as the majority believes in modern and peaceful Islamic views. Hence, came the second wave of revolution that rejected all forms of extreme Islamic, and demanded a new secular constitution.
I disagree that life would have been better with Mubarak, simply because his regime would have collapsed sooner or later. We have beaten the military based regimes, and now we are in the process of beatin the Islamic fundimental views. Hopefully, we will end up with sane, reasonabale mortals not brainwashed puppets from the military or extremists. It's going to take time, and I am hopeful that the second wave will put us on the right road again.
