    Likely just ordinary US instigated riots. They reach/propagandize a small number of people through ‘free speech’ channels (like those banned) and run them through a ‘Ukraine attitude-adjustment’. Sad but incredible that US have such media control over both locals and their own population in the west.

      Ehh, the US definitely has an interest in meddling in a country on China’s border.

      But Nepal hardly needs help to stir up these protests, after the Nepalese Civil War ended in the overthrow of the monarchy, the Maoist movement effectively betrayed the revolution, and entered into a power sharing agreement, within a liberal, parliamentary system.

      That system has been deeply dysfunctional since 2006, with every major issue being punted by the constitutional court until some nebulous later date.

      That coupled with economic stagnation, and the contradictions finally boiling over.

      Oh look an ml address. Y’all are like the conspiracy theorists who think that aliens or whatever control every single human move except it’s always the US or the west.

      It’s also some of the most racist, patriarchal, patronizing bullshit as well. There’s no world in which “those people” could have done anything of their own volition. Of course they fell under the magic spell of the US.

      Condescending fuckwit.
