    “gen z” is not an applicable term for young people outside the US.

      We need to be learning from this what happens when you topple a regime without a plan for what comes next. People who do have a plan are going to step in and take advantage, and the people who did all the work will have wasted their efforts making way for another tyrannical regime. It may have worked out (so far) for Nepal, but it’s not common for military leadership to relinquish power after they have it like they did there.

        I wonder what the similarities are between Nepal and the Romanian revolution. That’s the only other one that comes to mind in which, as I understand it, the military defected to the side of the revolutionaries and then ceded power to a new regime

      Like China, it probably won’t get past step 1, because power corrupts everyone.

      Yeah, I don’t think we should be placing a lot of hope in American Gen Z.

      They’re busy getting cucked by right wing manosphere grifters or punishing the Democrat party over a single issue while holding the door open for fascists.

      Yes. They’re watching from their cozy rooms, on their expensive iPhones, eating their yummy snacks. Gonna take A LOT more for Americans to react like Nepal or Madagascar.

    “Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.
