Interesting to note that the teens and young adults who overthrew the government elected their new prime minister on Discord, and the military acknowledged the election and put the winner in place.

well nepal clearly wasn't ready for revolution either because this entire thing hinges on the assent of the military.
which yeah, probably means the military is scared of the movement and doesn't think they could outright rule with opposition, but it totally rules out comparison to more militaristic nations. a thermonuclear weapon being used on DC is more likely than the JCS assenting to an informal election following a mob unseating the US government
Nepal Army might have been the only capable institution and the only one to suffer no damage. They were and are the most respected institution even now.
Executive, Legislative and Judiciary structure all were target to some extend. So military was forced to intervene and could have absolutely taken power (on pretense of temporary solution) but instead immediately approached the disorganized masses to ask for our representative. That was a major reason for the quick formation of a unified front since we had one day to present our representative. The use of discord was also for same reason. Everything was moving very fast and we used tools that were immediately available to us
Tools that the organizers were trained to use at NED funded “anti-corruption” and “youth” seminars, attended by Hong Kong protesters and Free Tibet posters. Tools created by Jack Dorsey.
Yeah but just looking the cause of the revolt and totally ignoring the result is bad analysis.
I would have totally agreeded with that but the final outcome was something that benefited none of the meddling foreign power (China might again get an Win by doing nothing later on)
You are falling for a color revolution. I won't stop saying it.
Its a good theory but unless the reality on the ground also align with that theory there is not much the left can do
