      @IKtheVS Do you think corruption is inherent to Africans? Do you understand that perhaps a lot of the shit the continent is going through has been a direct result of imperialism of the West over the past centuries? Do you know what happened when marxist leader Thomas Sankara came to power in Burkina Faso? He vaccinated millions of people, literacy rates increased by vast amounts, and 10 million trees were planted in just four years time whilst he fought for women's rights and a decent standard of living for all. He only accepted a modest military wage himself and demanded that government officials were to only travel second class on airplanes among many other things. He did that by rejecting every cent of foreign aid offered to the country. I am convinced some African countries can do just fine if the west were to leave them alone.

    This is such a good concept!

      Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i
      need help with reporting them.
      TH-cam is in a bad state and i think you heard of that.
      Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan.
      But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice
      and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something?
      So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use.
      You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the
      Racists and all those, but you can also
      do one thing more and report them, so
      YT becomes a better place.
      I know this was random and also overly summarized, but
      think about it and consider. You can make a difference.
      Means: I gathered and confirmed many Links. And made a Wiki to
      provide the Public with them. Wanna help, too?

    Hello! I’d like to clarify about the ABS-CBN shutdown in the Philippines. The media network was forced off the air by the National Telecommunications Council last May 2020 amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic (despite them promising not too), with Duterte’s Congress voting to not renew the ABS-CBN Franchise.
    ABS-CBN not only hires 11,000 employees throughout the Philippines but is relied on by millions of Filipinos nationwide for timely news, information, entertainment, AND even relief operations. There have been reports of residents unable to evacuate in time for typhoons ever since the shutdown.
    The shutdown of the network comes as Press Freedom is being attacked on all corners due to their critical coverage of Duterte’s drug war and ever growing tyrannical rule. Traditional, online, and progressive news outlets like Inquirer, Rappler, and Altermidya also face attacks from the government.
