Ironically the violence unleashed by these so-called "revolutionaries" makes me wonder whether the police firing on the protestors was based on intelligence alert that the protest would turn to violence? Now imagine if these people also had guns. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, (Myanmar?) - some BigTech seems to have cracked the social media politico-cultural code of the indian sub-continent to foster revolution and throw these countries into political turmoil. The template is the same - "fight against corruption", "('organic') student movements / gen-z protests", "new democracy", "installation of inexperienced politicians in power", "get rid of experienced ('corrupt') politicians" ... it's a political recipe setup for failure.
