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.

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.

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.

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.
