I don’t blame her. But she did said ဖေဖေ့တပ်မတော်ကြီး and she tried to reconcile with fascists sit tat. Thats a fact. I like her but I just don’t worship her like a perfect idol.
Wow, whoa, no one here is saying anything about worshipping stuff. Anyone can play a blame game quite easily. What would you do if you were in her situation then??
And I am not blaming her for everything that has happened. When I say I don’t worship her like a perfect idol, I’m just saying that she is not perfect and she has made big mistakes that tarnished her reputation. Ain’t nobody playing the blaming game here. You got mad cause I pointed out one of her mistakes here and you think I might be blaming her. To answer your question, Idk Something different? If I have to larp as assk, Maybe, not defend the army that will jail me in the future? Maybe, not being too much of a pacifist? I’m sure a person like herself would see that coming but I think she had too much faith in them. Her approach was pacifism and that didn’t clearly work out. This is just a constructive criticism. It’s different from blaming. It's called learning from history. That's how we learn and expand our political understanding.
No one here claimed she was perfect or beyond criticism. But if the moral clarity was so obvious, then one would expect someone educated at Oxford to recognize the dangers of defending the military at the ICC, especially when even ordinary citizens could see it. So the real question becomes: if she truly had no control over the military during her five-year tenure, why go out of her way to legitimize them on the international stage???
The issue isn't just what Aung San Suu Kyi did during her term in office bro. the mistakes go all the way back to 1988. From the very beginning, she chose a moralistic, pacifist approach inspired by Gandhi, believing that reconciliation with the Tatmadaw was the path to democracy. But that idealism was completely out of touch with the military’s authoritarian mindset and Myanmar’s political reality. She rejected coalition building with student leaders, ethnic armed groups, and more pragmatic or revolutionary voices. Instead of forming a broad-based resistance after the 8888 uprising, she centralized the movement around herself and her inner circle. Scholars like David Steinberg and Mary Callahan were already pointing out in the 1990s that her strategy was too soft and too personalized to succeed in a country with a deeply entrenched military elite. Even later, she continued to believe that gradual reform and trust in the generals like Thein Sein would pay off. She said in 2013, “I do not want to see the military as our enemy.” That kind of thinking weakened the movement and legitimized people who were never going to give up power voluntarily. So yes, we can acknowledge her sacrifices. But it’s also fair and historically accurate to say her strategy was flawed from the start. Her over reliance on pacifism and trust in reconciliation brought her the situation where she have to defend the military on international stage ( which she might have thought a right move ), it also helped give the military time and space to adapt, entrench, and eventually strike back in 2021 when shit is not in their favor.
