A psychic patient

A few weeks ago, I came across a nice personal website and I visited there regularly. As its main component is blog, I did leave some comments whenever I wanted to do so. One post was about a consequence of Fiji coup. So I left this comment.

"I feel coup is something like a sporadic infectious disease. Obviously it is a immaturity of democratic era in Fiji."

What I meant is that Britain with an old enough democracy will not face coup.On the other hand, such illegal thing is inevitable in Thailand and Fiji whose democratic era have not been long enough to be mature.

Someone replied my comment as follow:

"When something like this happens in a small country…it’s called a “coup”…but when it happens in countries such as the USA, France, or Russia, it’s called a f*** revolution. Steve should stop yapping about democracy until he studies, learns, and understands Political Science."

I didn't expect to receive such a response. After analysing his words, I believe that that person has lost his thinking power after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder .

According to the American Psychiatric Association (1994), post traumatic stress disorder develops after someone is exposed to an extremely traumatic event and they reacted to the event with intense fear, horror or helplessness.

In this case, this person would have a bitter past history of democratic activities against his benefits . He would lose some or all of his properties because of democracy. He would have an intense fear of democracy. Once the word such as democratic or democracy is heard, the mental problem would recur, leading to a new deterioration of thinking power. As a result, he would be in a delusional state and thought that revolution and coup are the same.
