Why does the opposition hope when something happens in Nepal, Venezuela, Bangladesh or Iran?

It was a December evening in 2000. Cheers could be heard in the corridors of the Democratic Party building. My friends and I were drinking tea at the “Jurnal” bar, where many journalists were gathering.
Surprised, we asked what had happened and a girl, a journalist for TV Arbëria, told us:
“The right-wingers have won the elections in Bulgaria.”
Suddenly the tea got stuck in my throat and I almost choked.
20 to 30 villagers, who unfortunately stood out for the misery in which they lived, were celebrating the victory of the Bulgarian right in the party yard.
I was stunned and thought: how is it possible for such poor people to be happy with empty spoons?
I was reminded of this fragment when I heard Berisha's statement that the protests in Iran are a hope for the opposition forces in Albania.
After tiring himself for a week by saying that the "Delta" forces would arrest Rama, just like Maduro in Venezuela, today he went to Tehran.
As in Márquez's Macondo, we as a people await salvation from news coming from other continents.
That Berisha is a born political deceiver, dressed in expensive suits and collars or conservative masks, is nothing new. What is worth analyzing is: how is it possible for this people to be deceived for decades?
They have done this for centuries.
Once they waited for 500 years for changes from the Ottoman Empire and news from Istanbul.
Then they had their eyes on Austria or Italy.
Later they hoped that socialism could triumph over imperialism.
For four decades they hoped for proletarian revolution in Cuba, Latin America, Vietnam and China.
We can understand all of this in an isolated Albania, but being deceived in a digital and global world shows our backwardness as a nation.
There are billions of ignorant, uneducated, uninformed or isolated people in the world, but more ignorant and naive people, who hope that their lives will change because the war broke out in Venezuela, the revolution in Nepal or the protests in Bangladesh and Iran, are found only in Albania.
The crowd that is so easily manipulated by the media and politics is found only in these 28,000 km². Great horror.
Realistically, it is a great pity for the provincial level that there is a minority of people in Albania. They are fed with party spoons and political news.
Albanian governments in decades should have been overthrown faster by the Albanians themselves but not by looking with their eyes from the sky dreaming of helicopters or by their ears from the noise of the processions in Nepal where 90% of the people do not even know on the map where they are geographically located.
George Orwell once predicted this collective psychosis: peoples who are excited by distant wars, while their lives are ruled by another reality.
Happening now...
The end of the commercial leader, Rama!
