Wife of ex-Nepali PM burned alive, Gen Z revolt engulfs country: Live updat
This is not about social media bans, it's against the corrupt government. It's being reframed. If you think about it, if the only problem was social media ban, they'd just all get vpns. They're not stupid. They're trying to frame it as silly kids, (because they're all gen z and Gen alpha, in their school uniforms, so as to be less likely to be shot) who can't live without social media. But it's not, it's protesting deep government corruption. If word gets out that it's a protest against government corruption, other people facing similar oppression, may become emboldened, so it's being buried.
if the only problem was social media ban, they’d just all get vpns. They’re not stupid.
This is a major leap in logic. I'm not saying your point is wrong, but plenty of people won't get VPNs because they are too ignorant to see the value in them.
For anyone out of the loop (from the AP / quoted in the article) :
Why are people protesting in Nepal?
The demonstrations—called the protest of Gen Z—began after the government blocked platforms, including Facebook, X and YouTube, saying the companies had failed to register and submit to government oversight.
But they spiraled to reflect broader discontent about a lack of opportunities and corruption.
In particular, many young people are angry that the children of political leaders—so-called Nepo Kids—seem to enjoy luxury lifestyles and numerous advantages while most youth struggle to find work.
Cops firing live rounds at kids, killing almost 20 and injuring about 100 might have something to do with them snapping as well...
Typical Newsweek, I've seen several people who have worked in Nepal say that corruption was spiraling out of control and people have been livid about it for months. The protests were already ramping up, which is why social media platforms were cut off, so videos about the corruption and investigations and means to plan protests were cut off. The "they didn't register in time" excuse is for the government to save face internationally.
Nepali Nepos?
These protestors understand how change works. Good on ‘em.
Is this a revolution?
🤨
My mind immediately went there.
Hoping France learns their methods in time for tomorrow's protest 🙏
Immolation is too much, but in general yes.
It's objectively a horrible thing to do to anyone, for any reason, and inhuman and condemnable.
That all said, if you're reading this and you're married to someone advocating or supporting the execution of students and teens via assault rifles in the street, and a lot of people are angry about it, you should probably fucking leave.
I don't know anything about the ex-wife or her involvement with anything, but I know the Nepalese ruling class have been flaunting their wealth and the videos going around showing kids getting shot in the head and slumping over as blood pours out of their bodies and their friends crying and trying to pull their limp bodies out of the line of fire, have been circulating and it made MY blood boil and I'm on the other side of the world.
I think maybe our "ruling class" in all nations need a wake-up call that they are our servants, not our masters.
Well, maybe not. I know plenty that immolation wouldnt be punishment enough
What isn't too much, but also creates the necessary drastic changes?
Billionaires won't let you vote away their power, mind you.
Change comes from great struggle, usually quite bloody. The powers that be don't want the change and try to stop it at every turn, hence why force is necessary. The people are the power, the Lord's lead at the whim of the populace. Unhappy people makes for a bad time for those at the top. A tale as old as time itself.
What's the over-under on this horrible woman doing the same to street urchins for fun?
Depends who we’re talking about
See this, you “No Kings” parade do-nothing virtue signalers?
This is “action.”
Bear in mind that the riot in Nepal only started after the peaceful student protests was shot at by the police first. The No Kings protest hasn't been tried to be violently quelled to warrant a public riot, yet.
This.
I’ve been saying over and over (down in that R-named shithole that banned me for a short comment approving of revolution,) some folks are gonna have to take a big L to kick it off here.
The first 50 or so Luigi’s will be dealt with harshly as examples; the public will buy the reasons fed to them and think of them as fucking monsters.
50 or so and people will start to take notice and see what needs to be accomplished here. Why do so many people hate CEOs? Hell, today, why would some “crazy person” want to hurt Charlie Kirk???
One more of that 50 got his metaphorical wings today.
Hmmm.
They’ll think, and think, and think. Eventually, watching this play out while food becomes out of their price range, their job replaces them with a TV screen of a Filipino lady, a small house hits an average of $500k in price, etc.
Something’s wrong.
Nepal got it, man. Enough people put their thinkin’ caps on and figured it out.
I went to Kent State from 2014-2017. Even met Dean Kahler at a memorial event; he was hit in the spine by a National Guard bullet and paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair for life.
America isn’t a bright place, intellectually. It’s gonna take cold, raw, painful time for enough people to figure out what is going on and the one way it can be solved.
That block of time, which we’re in right now, is gonna Fucking. Suck.
Are you sure this is the position you want to take?
I highly doubt the fascist tRUMP and his like-minded cronies give a shit about people waving signs once every few months or so.
Or any form of peaceful protests.
They are probably laughing their voluminous man tits off about it.
You'll need to either get violent.
Or shutdown certain systems, such as roads, on a countrywide scale for extended periods of time before they even think about giving a shit.
You’re right, this is a half-measure. But I’ll be banned for speaking my mind, so we’ll stick with this.
Go do action then lmfao
Russia and china do it better, they control social media behind the scenes, if you ban it its too obvious
That probably requires the kind of resources Nepal doesn't have
it's not her house, right?
That's Parliament
That is brutal.
They didn't mention this at the Gen Z meetup last week...
Yikes
Hey Thumbnail Dude: Trigger discipline.
So some wise and just leader will take over now and fix everything... right?
Maybe. The next leader hopefully understands that people are watching and waiting with torches apparently. Might make them think twice about engaging in corruption.
Historically speaking, that will just make the next leader give many powers to the military in order to "bring peace" so whatever happened to the last one doesn't happen to him.
If those people are able to organize peaceful elections now and the military will not get involved it will be truly amazing achievement and an inspiration for the rest of the world.
There's a whole protest campaign/revolution going on, so this is far from over one way or the other.
all it took was a slight disruption to the circus supply to cause complete societal upheaval. Crazy
Hey, psssst, US, are you watching this? Take notes please.
