Mostly unhinged opinions. Into casual gaming and pro-league napping. Apparently I swear too much. Also, adorable as fuck.

None of the Rajapaksas can sit in an interim government. This includes Gota retaining the top job. Any government with any of the Rajapaksas is just a facade.

Islandwide curfew is the dumbest political move by the Rajapaksas so far. Instead of letting people protest on Sunday, they will now have to eventually face protests by an angrier and hungrier public on the day they lift the curfew.

We have collectively taken Gotabaya Rajapaksa from being the most feared man in modern Sri Lanka (along with his troupe of murderers) and shrunk them to the butt of jokes.
It feels surreal. We've achieved what ten years ago seemed unachievable.
We have reduced them to nothing.

Theekshana was born in 2000, and he was only nine years old when the war ended. The reason he is new public enemy? Because he is Sri Lanka Army; because he is Gajaba.
This isn't public protest - this is on-brand LTTE fringe loon vengeance-driven manufactured mass psychosis.

There is a generation in Sri Lanka that doesn't know that the Sri Lankan military killed children in their name.
On this day in 2009, 12-year-old Balachandran Prabhakaran was detained by the Sri Lankan Army.
They gave him a snack. Then they executed him. All on camera.
No one, from those who gave the orders to those that pulled the trigger, has ever been held accountable.

Why aren't they stepping down? Let's take stock.
A) Gota can't go back to the US because he doesn't have citizenship. Chances are high that he also on a travel ban (like Shavi) which isn't public yet because he's a Head of State, so most likely he won't get a visa.

Sanath Nishantha was not just an enabler of the Rajapaksas, he was also a key part of the machine that actively worked to damage Sri Lankan good governance. Celebrating his early demise is not an un-civil act, but the collective relief of knowing there is one less piece of trash.
