136 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 10 Sep \ on: Nepal Army Takes Over Capital As Politicians Flee By Helicopter, Mayhem Worsens Politics_And_Law
Mentions the under-discussed sequence of events:
  1. Children of politicians shamelessly showcase their wealth on social media
  2. People take to the streets to protest this, because why do politicians make so much money?
  3. Politicians ban social media (showing their hand? lol)
  4. SHTF (what did you expect?)
  5. Politicians flee
  6. Army takes over
The question is: if you weren't corrupt, would you still do 3 and 5?
