The next time someone tells you the youth aren’t engaged enough in politics, just point them to Nepal.
According to multiple reports, the youth of the South Asian nation managed to oust the existing government following an attempted ban of major social media platforms and took to Discord to hold an impromptu convention to elect an interim prime minister.
The organizing appears to have worked. On Friday, the military accepted the recommendation of the protest group and named Karki the interim prime minister. Karki, who accepted the role, is expected to pick a new cabinet and eventually hold elections. According to the Times, that is expected to happen within the next six months or so.
Unironically yes. We should still have a regional compact or something but clearly things are not working. People have wildly different visions of how the country should be run and this stupid power struggle isn’t helping anyone.
Sounds like a good idea until you have a soup of 50 sovereign states who still don’t agree but are now completely wide open to international power plays and local violence. The people only have “different visions” because the rich are best served by having us divided. Caving to that pressure only makes us more vulnerable to their neo-feudal ambitions.
See European Union + NATO. Kept russia from invading. And sovereignty is still maintained.
That’s what the regional defense compact is for. It’s worked well enough in the past and to this day.
Regardless of the source of those differences they are real and the left has no plan to convert people. It’s time to let go and let the red states become slag heaps of that’s what they want to be.
