I think a bunch of Nepalese teenagers burned down the parliament building and overthrew the government before electing the nation's first woman PM by vote held on Discord. Discord: finally living up to its name.
This is what I've heard in passing; you should still check I'm not leading you astray.
Holy based Batman. I have heard it's a left leaning revolution, but that's about it. It's about corrupt politicians being super rich while everyone else is in poverty. Sounds familiar.
I'm not sure it's particularly left or right leaning, there was a ban on social media, protests against the ban and the protestors were shot by armed police which sparked more protests and riots, the major grievance seems to be political corruption.
I don't think any of ^ really slots into a traditional left/right framework, that said the more I read about Nepalese politics the more confused I become.
the corrupt government they are overthrowing is a coalition between Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist). Although prime minister Oli comes from the communist partner in the coalition despite them being the minor partner? But I have also read that they unified ml party merged with another communist party a while back?
Either way, glad to see corrupt politicians being replaced.
Giving the alternatives it's kinda smart.
Either this, a fast way to get a technocrat who can moderate the real election and is established enough to be accepted by the protesters the military and the general public, or someone of their own which could lead to infighting and/or might clinch on to the power and could be not accepted by those in power, or a military general.
Where is this from?
I would say Nepal given the flag that is barely visibile on the post in the center of the building's roof and the protests that were going on
But I'm just guessing!
It’s is Nepal, last week.
And here i was guessing the Whitehouse 😓
Here you go buddy:

That’s fucking crazy. I love how absolutely considerate everyone was, even for someone who obviously didn’t “belong” there.
I think it’s quite the opposite. They were especially considerate to him because he was a foreigner.
Now do America
Cool image. What's the context?

That is mega based considering no government military attacked them. That's presumably the Ghandi trap at work, which is a good sign for them

I saw a headline saying they used ChatGPT for the election but man I hope that ain’t true

Wow, Gen Z actually taking action instead of complaining online? I thought I'd never see the day.
