Hey, Americans, you watching?
Yes. They’re watching from their cozy rooms, on their expensive iPhones, eating their yummy snacks. Gonna take A LOT more for Americans to react like Nepal or Madagascar.
Yeah, I don’t think we should be placing a lot of hope in American Gen Z.
They’re busy getting cucked by right wing manosphere grifters or punishing the Democrat party over a single issue while holding the door open for fascists.
Maybe we should start a TikTok trend of overthrowing governments to get their attention
“Hey bro, have you heard about the delulu Republicans? They’re super sus so we need to rizz up and get some bussin’ champs out there to take the country back, no cap.”

So far, the country was transformed into a military dictatorship… I hope, this is only stage 1…
Like China, it probably won’t get past step 1, because power corrupts everyone.
Or Myanmar a few years ago… They promised elections…
We need to be learning from this what happens when you topple a regime without a plan for what comes next. People who do have a plan are going to step in and take advantage, and the people who did all the work will have wasted their efforts making way for another tyrannical regime. It may have worked out (so far) for Nepal, but it’s not common for military leadership to relinquish power after they have it like they did there.
I wonder what the similarities are between Nepal and the Romanian revolution. That’s the only other one that comes to mind in which, as I understand it, the military defected to the side of the revolutionaries and then ceded power to a new regime
“Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.
Thats like, the opposite of Gen Z. Aka Little to No Money.
Very reminiscent of the French revolution, with less guillotines.
C’mon, give them some credit. Their parents have money. Some of them, I mean.
Do you have a source I could look into about this? What I’ve seen so far suggests the call came from inside the house, since the people doing the coup are the same ones who installed Andry Rajoelina in the first place after a previous coup.

No term will ever satisfy everyone. And everyone knows who “gen z” refers to. I’ll not let your semantic wars ruin my day… which is so xennial of me 👓

You’re a drop in the ocean fighting an ancient war. Let it go and be free.

You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.
Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.
