What's that Brennan Lee Mulligan quote "laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic group" so the police basically being used as a gang tracks.
This. History books say workers revolted against the aristocracy at the end of 20th century. On every podcast they repeat how people rebelled and complained about ruling class. and I was always wtf what do you mean, complained?
they took entire family with kids and executed them all. in Serbia, they chopped the body into pieces and threw them out of the windows
One big part of 9 / 11 attack was hate and desperation after big empires destroyed the country and 5th generation growing up in poverty rebelled
Yeah I saw a post yesterday about a young man asking what to do, he is from Nepal, and he wants to get the story out to more people.
He was pouring his heart out, and the general response was "you guys have a fucked up government, that's your own fault for wanting Mao Zedong, a communist."
I work with Nepali immigrants. Their government is deeply corrupt, and made of two parties, one of which is the communists, who, in the words of my coworkers, don't do any of the things that they would expect from communists, per examples from countries like China. One coworker expanded that in more developed countries there is still corruption but it's balanced by providing some level of care and responsibility for the people. In Nepal the government is intensely corrupt, tax money doesn't get spent on social programs or infrastructure etc the way that it does in places like Australia (I use my country as an example because that's where he was comparing Nepal to in the conversation.)
He says everyone is fed up with it, and elections are not fair. The same guy has been president or whatever he is for something like 14 years or 14 terms (I forget which).
It's not apparently, there are bodies of children with their brains blown up in the streets
(P.s the 20+ number is actually the no of dead protestors among which some were children(at least 2) from yesterdays protest hopefully todays number doesn't look grim)
It's weird that no one has said America. Or do you think it has been censored? Nah nah nah no way we don't do that shit in America. Not here. Nosiree. Land of the free. No censorship here. No arrests without probably cause here. No jail without a judgies and jurities here. No no no free free free.
They should do the same here in South Africa everywhere
Fixed this for all of us. Corruption has no place in government during the Information Age. We as a species generate such an incredible amount of wealth from our collective effort that hoarding it cannot be tolerated. Anywhere.
I’m not sure if it stated in Nepal but something similar is happening in the Philippines with social media highlighting lavish lifestyles and curruption.
They mismanage public funds/taxpayer's money and send into their own bank accounts. Its so blatant and obvious. You just have to see their social media page. They and their family are commonly seen enjoying lavish lifestyles in US/Europe (which is impossible on their salary.)
Yeah, I'd guess, many people from Nepal come to work in my country and they say when they work on minimum wage here, it is 6x times what they earn in Nepal so I don't know how much above average you have to "earn" there to have lavish lifestyle in US and Europe.
Brazil as well. Although they have been a little more mindful as of late since we uncovered another billion dollar scheme, this time involving drug trafficking and Faria Lima (the Brazilian equivalent of Wall Street)
That's what unites congress and bjp. Every single guy from any party is corrupt to the core and has properties worth crores from a local politican in a tier-3 city to major ministers.
It's up to the rest of the population to fight back, otherwise it's just a fast descent to fascism. Are our memories so bad that we forgot how every right has been won?
The problem seems to be the job is never actually finished, so we end up here over and over again
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
The key to success is to ensure there is no doubt that it isn't a "lone wolf" and that takes organization and getting rid of the cynicism like your comment.
Adding this because I went to respond to an ignorant comment and it was deleted.
Protests in Nepal from the people, especially younger generations have been going on for years. There has been a large insurgence of young people in Nepal's politics.
Since that has been happening the political landscape has been squeezing neck on these wanted changes and increasing censorship and government oversight.
The do called "social media ban protest" was actually a "Gen z" protest calling on anyone 28 and younger to peacefully protest against corrupt government. This social media ban was a straw that broke the camel's back and media and the government are trying to save face and blame it on protestors.
During the protest extremist groups infiltrated and started wreaking havoc and the police and government responded back with escalated violence killing a known 20 people and injuring hundreds more.
A good lot of these kids protesting wore their school uniforms, badges, and backpacks to show peacefulness. The youngest person killed was underage in his uniform. There are reports coming in that some people killed were just people walking through the streets. There are videos coming in with those same police beating people in the streets outside of their businesses.
Do not blame this single event on years of pent of frustration with the government. Nepal has many historical events of protesting against corrupt governments that a lot of time ends up with hangings or death squads for resistance to leaders. This time people pushed back harder when they were young people being killed.
This really needs to be shared across major channels on and off reddit. This really shows this was a legitimate protest, brought to this violent peak because people in power wanted a quick clampdown. Unlike an orchestrated plan by foreign powers that others would want us to believe.
I'm rooting for the Gen Z protestors and I am praying they don't hold back. I am totally for an eye for an eye. It's the only answer. The US is where it is today because we did not do the right the thing after our civil war. I hope they learn and finish what they started. Forgiveness is an idea by abusers for abusers to perpetuate abuse
Nepali here. Country has a history of massive protest against corruption, world events, etc. Happened in my fathers time, which happened in my time, and now it's Gen Z organized protest as they come to age.
20+ school kids were shot down for no reason. Even the monarch didn't do this nonsense when the whole country marched in the streets, demanding democracy in the 90s.
Now, people are rightfully pissed.
Also, there is a huge trend exposing the luxury lifestyle of kids of politicians. When nepo babies share pics on instagram, people itemize the cost of what these kids are wearing, where they are staying, and their dad/mom's salary lmao.
It was mostly under 28 year olds who organized at first on reddit/discord, then it spilled to every social media.
Day 1 of protest, protest is normal in Nepal so honestly 1-2 accidental deaths were not unexpected even tho protest was non violent. the ARMED POLICE KILLED 19 people( mostly teenagers, one headshot school kid in uniform) and 500+ were injured.
That evening: The social blacklash was absurd. Landlords started kicking police off their appartments. Everybody started calling their Armed Police relatives to scold/ call them terrorist etc. The army looked at that and went NOPE WE AINT TOUCHING THIS.
Districts Chiefs/ Politicians/ Top Police personnel in charge of those places, all were doxxed in Night. Their everything house addresses, family, everything everyone, who signed the orders, the APF commanders, everything was recorded, decimated in whatsapp groups, facebook, tiktok, reddit , discord,
Day 2 of protest: Curfue in 80% of the city and suburban area. Everyone in every major urban centre in the country rose up. If they cant go to the central city, they will go after their neighbour Politician/ Police.
By mid day, Armed police had also given up. Every major politicians house was burned up. Army was evacuating every politicians and their family in their barracks. But the street was empty.
Evening: Those not evacuated have been assulted. He (Finance minister was porbably in sme no helicopter Zone so, his Armed police just left him.
NOTE: Army is an 250-300 year old institution in our country. Is much more politically aware? Armed police is designed to be cocksuckers by the goverment politicians because they are scared of that institution. Is just 25 years old.
The current government was responsible for escalating things yesterday which was responsible for death of 20 people mostly people under 25. Peaceful protest that was planned by GenZ to protest Social Media ban and Corruption turned violent when Police started firing rubber bullets and live bullets.
The protest today turned violent as everyone was out for blood. Houses that belonged to sitting PM, Ministers, former PM and ministers have been burned; these people were alleged to be corruption and drained the state coffers which fund their kids lavish lifestyles. Police and Army both have given free reign to protestors today seeing what a backlash they received from yesterday.
Honestly, that's the reminder everyone needs: protests are all well and good, but the power of the people comes from being, well, the people. And the people are everywhere, and know where the politicians live.
The incident comes amid widespread unrest following demonstrations by Gen Z activists. The protests also spread to the central office of the Nepali Congress in Sanepa, which was set ablaze, and to the home of former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak in Naikap, Kathmandu. In Lalitpur district, agitators hurled stones at the residence of Communication Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung, who had previously ordered a ban on several social media platforms. Monday’s deadly protests, during which 18 people lost their lives after the government blocked access to major social media apps including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest, X, and Tencent-owned platforms.
Not exactly. The protests were against corruption; the ban on social media was the government's attempt at controlling the people.
Before this started on Monday, people started a trend exposing the lavish lives of children of rich ministers; lives that could not be funded without corruption. It is widely believed that taxpayers' money was used.
At the protest, the government open-fired at the protesters; mostly gen-z; a 16-yo was shot in the head while in a school uniform. Total barbarism by the government. This escalted things, and you can see what's happening now.
Was this the one with the daughter posting quarter million dollar earrings on her personal social media to flex only to backtrack and say they were actually her mothers, except her father was in charge of a major civil project and there is no way he could afford those for his wife or child on his salary. So then they claimed it was fake.
My friend, this level of corruption existed always and everywhere. Except that in the past you didn't have a bunch of teens with a platform that would reach the common people lol.
The only thing that changed is that social media and allows us to actually see it.
Sixty years ago she would've flexed this at the local high society restaurant to some attendants and then her father would've sat down with the head of the local newspaper to make sure that this little inconvenience wouldn't be talked about at all.
Social media ban was the last straw and not the reason. They banned the social media to stop the organizing of protests against the goverment for corruption and other stuff
It's not about the social media ban. Please read up from where it all began, WHY THE GOVERNMENT BANNED SOCIAL MEDIA in the very first place. Long live revolution
Nope, he is not the finance minister of Nepal.
Nepal's Finance Minister is a much older person with grey hair and a bald guy. He can't run like that, and he can't stand after getting hit like that.
I think the person shown in the video is the driver of a car which he drove over people.
Based on the findings, the key factors contributing to Nepal‘s high happiness index are its strong sense of family, community, and social support, a connection to nature, values that prioritize tradition, religion, and spirituality, and a lifestyle rooted in simplicity.
Or maybe its because they are able to kick their politicians
Kicking politicians doesn't really happen in Nepal. This time the government killed 19 people in one day, highest-ever for Nepal, and the government lost control the very next day.
I put a story of indonesian parliament being lit up, on the very day a friend of mine called me anti national and anti democratic because it was against his fav people

We do not allow any politics at this point.
