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.
That’s what I was thinking.
Like thankfully whatever they’re up to isn’t too interesting to Discord corporate or “U.S interests” right now, or their communications would be turned on them so fast.
But hey at least it’s like a small step up from Facebook. Somebody help them set up their own Matrix protocol infrastructure. :D
