Nepal's parliament set on fire after PM resigns over anti-corruption protests

“In Nepal's capital Kathmandu, several locations have been targeted by anti-corruption protesters since Monday.

Fires have been started and hundreds of protesters have broken into the country's parliament building. Graffiti and anti-corruption messages are being spray painted onto the building's exterior and windows have been smashed - here's how our reporter on the ground describes the scene.”

Censorship is the prime mover of evil, its uncaused cause. According to the article, action to censor the people led to this.

Censorship makes the resistance dumber. A good opposition would have taken that parliament building and used it, and looked dignified. A bad opposition starts a Reichstag fire that is used for an excuse to stage a coup.

Censorship fails its formal purpose, leaving the government ideologically defenseless. But it never fails its true purpose of doing evil, so I doubt this enthusiastic crowd will ever be able to find and get their money back from the corrupt people who made the protest necessary.

The protests began with peaceful students angry about official corruption and a widening wealth gap. Then mobs unleashed their attacks. The scale of the damage leaves Nepal’s new caretaker government, installed in the wake of the protests and a deadly crackdown by security forces, even more vulnerable.

However, that article also says thousands of people were unable to join the chat and were sent to an overflow room... I have a funny feeling that somehow, the few people who control everything controlled this also.
