Arce confronted the general commander of the Army — Juan José Zúñiga, who appeared to be leading the rebellion — in the palace hallway, as shown on video on Bolivian television. “I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination,” Arce said.

    Literally stopped a coup with big-dick energy alone.

    Impressive.

    Most impressive.

    Big hallway energy. Zuniga had a plan for ramming the palace gates and a plan for talking to the media, he blanked on what to do in the hallway.

    He was expecting the politicians to flee and go into exile. Then he would just walk in and assume command in absence of a leader.

    It gets super awkward when they just hang around and be like "No thank you."

    Then you either have to commit to killing some folks and potentially sparking an insurgency or civil war, or stand down.

    Would you claim someone using the phrase "killing two birds with one stone" is perpetuating animal violence?

    From Wikipedia:

    The phrase big dick energy denotes an easy confidence or sense or assurance and purpose. In general, having big dick energy is unrelated to whether or not someone actually has a big penis or any penis at all. The term is not gender exclusive, and can be applied to women.

    Stop getting bent out of shape over stupid bullshit. It detracts from the people bringing real inequalities to light.

    Ok, big vajayjay energy. Only women have vajayjays, though, and there were no women in the Coup Hallway at the time that we can see from the photos. Therefore, it was not B.V.E., powerful as it is. It was a dick-based event. Ipso facto.
