Source: 10 minute talk with expat uber driver
Anecdotally, my uber driver, an expat phd student in Australia was in favor of regime change but was skeptical the current protests would be effective, he argued the protesters didn’t have enough conviction and firepower. With current reports of the state killing several thousand protestors, I might have to agree with him. We’ll have to see if the people are willing to march in the streets when they can be mowed down by heavy machine guns.
