Hot damn it's almost like empirical (qualitative) research can give us answers against hot-take headlines. @deaneckles @zeynephttps://twitter.com/achrisafis/status/1070976038581256192 …
What's really striking is that unlike Arab Spring countries France has strong institutions of protest and dissent. It's *still* happening like this. That's truly interesting and I don't see how we get at it by ignoring changing public sphere (FB is big part this, obviously).

Hopefully someone is doing great data collection and hopefully Facebook will work with independent researchers doing on-the ground work with historical depth of understanding. Otherwise, we get stuck at "but we don't know"—we could know, if Facebook plus researchers cooperate.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Interesting discussion. With headlines on

Or at least, where the institutional pushback against a coup wasn't evident immediately after it was launched on 26th Oct.
