Anti-Government Protests in Colombia Lead to Police Massacres and Violence What started as a protest against an exploitative tax reform has rapidly turned into violence and uproar as the people of Colombia lead anti-government protests against an authoritarian regime, and the authoritarian regime responds with murder and violence. On Wednesday, April 28th, trade Unions organized protests in Colombia’s major cities, including Bogota, Medellín, and Cali, to denounce a tax reform that places a burden of sales taxes on the lowest income-earners.…

Reddit Investors v. Wall Street pt. 2: Revenge of the Powerful
Reddit Investors v. Wall Street pt. 2: Revenge of the Powerful Those who aren’t applauding the r/WallStreetBets battle against Wall Street hedge funds are, in my opinion, on the wrong side of history.

As 2020 ends, Censorship and Tone-policing Increasingly Plague Media In an attempt to remove a totalitarian leader from office, the media has reverted to their own twisted form of totalitarianism. In a politically oppressive system, the party in power often exerts control over the people by altering the truth and controlling information. In Xi Jingping’s China, they jail journalists (and sometimes, journalists simply disappear) who express dissent against the ruling class. In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro expresses nostalgia for the former military dictatorship, an era…
