A strange, noble country. I hear they are electing their new post-communist government via discord. They're disproportionately active in sceney anglophone internet communities. What is going on?

"Young generation defeats old corrupt generation thanks to the power of democracy and technology" or "Coup d'Etat :a few thousands anonymous individuals give power to one individual in Nepal thanks to an American communication tool"

>But in the wake of a brutal crackdown on protesters by security forces that killed at least 72 people, their trust in the country’s political system itself had been shattered. They wanted to select a consensus leader who would steer the country of 30 million people out of chaos and take steps towards stamping out corruption and nepotism. Just not in the way countries usually pick their heads.
>So, they chose Nepal’s next leader in a manner unprecedented for any electoral democracy – through a virtual poll on Discord, a United States-based free messaging platform mainly used by online gamers.
>The online huddle was organised by Hami Nepal, a Gen Z group behind the protest with more than 160,000 members.
>Hami Nepal ran a channel on the platform called Youth Against Corruption, where a fiery debate on the country’s future brought together more than 10,000 people, including many from the Nepali diaspora. As more people tried to log in and failed, a mirrored livestream was held on YouTube to allow about 6,000 more people to see the debate.
>After hours of debate that included difficult questions for protest leaders and attempts at reaching out to potential prime minister candidates in real time, the participants chose former Supreme Court Chief Justice Sushila Karki to lead Nepal. The 73-year-old took the oath of office as the country’s interim prime minister on Friday.
Also, everyone agrees "gen X, Y, Z" are bullshit, but everyone uses them. Did the journalist even check the age of the "voters" to claim it is a Gen Z thing?

Call me old fashioned but if my country underwent a violent regime change and new government was elected via ( by?) fucking discord, I'd be booking it.
That it was Discord really activates my almonds as an aging freetard. One of the last of that tribe...

Not even the last one here. If anything it's bigger than it once was, there's just way more people online so it seems like less fractionally.
