As recently as September 2025, Nepalese people overthrew their corrupt government in just 48 hours.

Pretending that Nepalese youth didn't spend years organizing which culminated in that 48-hour successful revolution diminishes the otherwise-valid points you're making here.

How many years did Americunts had to prepare? Haven't they been preparing their whole lives to overthrow a tyrannical government?

Well we had a decent start going until COINTELPRO.

But anyway that's not really my point. Americans should be doing more, I agree with you there. My point is that it's disingenuous to present the Nepalese revolution as just suddenly happening within 48 hours because people got fed up.
