Sneak in at night, throw that dictator out on his ass, lock the doors, and establish your democracy. I have no better ideas. I'm sorry.

Not to be a dick but maybe CNN shouldn’t send a blonde lady that sticks out like a sore thumb if ppl know this is happening?
eggyr0ll
Granted the camera doesn’t help but still...
FireBreathingStockBroker
They dont want their reporter to get shot or arrested. Sticking out helps with that.
TerrenceMorgan
Yeah no, getting anyone in there to report is a win
cautiousrebellion
You'd think they could have coordinated with at least one of the thousands of local university educated journalists right?
cautiousrebellion
The journalists that I've worked with in Myanmar usually actually prefer to rely on local journalists and camera people to do the 1/2
cautiousrebellion
ground work and interviews. This is because it's a heckloas safer for the interviewees, and because then you have conversations 2/3
cautiousrebellion
between native speakers that can highlight nuances in conversation and bring deep local knowledge to an interview/news story. 3/3

In my culture it's a reference to the Ukrainian Coat of Arms - Tryzub (Trident), and is used as a symbol of unity in a fight for freedom

Not to be confused with the German way. Ironically, Michael Fassbender is more German than English (in that he is not at all English).

He grew up in Ireland though and identifies as Irish

A symbol of resistance and solidarity for democracy movements. Derived from the Hunger games movie as far as I know.
ligmabolz
Nah , they gad a show in the 90s in Bulgaria that used the same sign .so it's been around before that .
iamyourmaster
correct, but it has also become widely used in SE Asia because at the time the movie came out Thailand was also having political trouble.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
Isn't that also a scout thing? Something about boy scout and girl scout salutes?
bearsandbeers
No it's a hunger games thing. The movies were baned in Thailand and Burma after people started doing this
Jeanvaljeannot
Yup. 3 fingers for the 3 core values. And the thumb over pinky can be interpreted as "The strong protects the weak"
Whyyeah
What about the pinky over the thumb?
BedBugDude
Have you tried keeping your ring finger up with that configuration?
ritsbits808
That's when a strong person uses the weak as a body shield. I learned this in the scouts too
