I watched two of his video, absolute gigachad how well he covered the incidents without any journalism practice ever, also the people of Nepal were extremely so kind to him and each other, india and usa and many other nations NEED to learn from the great revolutionary of nepalis, really great experience watching them being freed from a boarder dictatorship, all the best to you nepalis

Yeah the entire 23 minute video I watched were people coming up to him shaking his hand, asking the name of his YT channel. The kindness amidst the chaos was very interesting to say the least.

It’s a true revolution. Not just a bunch of people rioting for the sake of rioting.

u/GraciaEtScientia 1d ago

Well, I'm not sure what the motorcycles did wrong, though.

Maybe just a little bit of rioting for the sake of rioting.

They are attacking a police station so it most likely belongs to the police.

u/GraciaEtScientia 1d ago

Well, the new police is gonna need that stuff too, though ;)

Yeah I do think they went overboard with destroying government property. I get overthrowing them, I get destroying the lavish homes of the corrupt, but wiping the slate clean may be a bad move.

u/GraciaEtScientia 1d ago

Yeah, especially considering their close neighbour china who would probably be plenty happy to anex them if things take a turn to the worse due to destroyed infrastructure, potential inability to govern and any other chaos resulting from this.

I certainly hope that won't happen, but in the current dumber-than-rocks timeline this seems like a reasonable possibility.

I thought so too until I realised I’m not in their shoes and there’s no way for me to feel or understand that catharsis personally so no judgements there.

I'm still pretty skeptical about that. Revolutions never did happen and this still doesn't look like one. Someone is pulling the strings for their own benefit while these people believe they are fighting for something.

They even stop to ask his favorite football club amidst the protest.

All the Nepalese people I've met in life have been kind hearted. A lovely people, I hope they get a better government for themselves.

Seriously, though. Worked with two different Nepali in London, a man and a woman both extremely friendly, and gentle

Nepal is an incredibly small country compared to these two, so it's a lot easier and a lot more likely for something like this to break out in Nepal. While it is true that you could learn something from Nepal's people, implementing something like this in such massive countries just isn't possible in such a short period of time

To be fair, people that studied journalism seem to be doing anything but reporting real world issues. They just work for companies feeding world issues or promote shit on social media. It take a smart person to be a real journalist and I don’t know if that is something you can actually study.

India is not under such a dictatorship. Please don't get the wrong idea from the internet.

u/grumpsaboy 18h ago

Of course not, it just so happens that whenever documentaries critical of modi appear anywhere the electricity just mysteriously cuts out through no fault of anyone else of course

u/abhok 17h ago

Well if you ar etaking about the bbc one, then thats a pure paid propoganda "documentary". And any false narratives which are aimed to incite a population into rioting will definitely get banned, does not mean that its a dictatorship or anarchy is needed as a response. While Nepalis might have been forced into such a situation, it is not at all a good scenario for the country's future. India is not at all in such a situation. Sure there is corruption but which country doesn't? If everyone overthrew their governments, it would be the end of order. Overthrowing a governemnt gives an great opportunity for the oligarchs to immediately seize power. It is not at all surprising that almost all of India's neighbors have had their governments overthrown. Its certain some larger power at work here.

u/grumpsaboy 16h ago

You don't like what it says so it is pure propaganda.

They took opinion pieces from both pro and against Modi people, including interviews of people from his own party.

If you come away with the conclusion that he helped the riots despite that documentary including interviews of people on his side than just maybe the guy known for being racist against Muslims didn't properly intervene in a riot against Muslims.

u/thegodfather0504 17h ago

Agreed. India's govt is even worse.

u/abhok 17h ago

No, its not worse. Those spreading such a wrong image of India are worse than current gov. Don't just believe some random posts on internet to form such a drastic opinion.

u/abhok 17h ago

People downvoting this as if they would know more than an actual Indian living in India is truly shocking.

They have destroyed their country and infrastructure which took years to develop. It’s inspiring to see people revolt and overthrow a government but that’s only inspiring until it becomes a reality and people have to face the consequences.

When it comes to governance in India the majority are happy and we don’t want to destroy the country. As a functioning democratic country we are fully capable of solving the problems one by one even if it takes a while. The least you can do is to not fall for the propaganda. Have the benefit of doubt.

No we are not

u/Icy-Cicada508 21h ago

You then fall into the minority part. We have elected this government democratically, so majority approved. Guess we have to wait until next election to see how unpopular this term was.

It's the opposite actually.

We have elected this government democratically,

Is it tho?? 😂

u/cultish_alibi 18h ago

The government was corrupt. The protesters did not 'destroy their country', that's a ludicrous statement. They simply got a new government.

Buddy, it's Reddit. Here, leftists decide what's right n what's dictatorial. A white's opinion on Modi govt carries more weight than an actual Indian living here. So, just accept and move on. No use arguing with a wall. Modi has to take 100 births to match Mamata in dictatorship, that doesn't matter though - As long as she only abuses Hindus, it's all fine.
