The Unaccounted For Side Effect: Hungary's Fight for Freedom
With over 500,000 infected cases and nearly 20,000 casualties and counting, COVID-19 (otherwise known as 'The Coronavirus') is becoming more infectious with the passing day. However, as viral panic for the disease continues to spread, there is another pathogen in the air. A pathogen so deadly that its effects on global society could last for years, if not decades.

Is China Overplaying its Hand?
Modern technology has made the world's economies more global than ever before. As a result, we're very much dependent on each other for our survival. To an extent, socioeconomic interdependence is a good thing. It helps foster peace. It also creates a more efficient economy, in general. But there are some down sides.

Welcome to the State of Complaintless-ness
The ramifications of saying nothing were not thoroughly considered. There should have been some mathematical formula inserted for careful study and examination; like the absence of complaint (-c) over time (t) will give rise to (=) inequality (i) and much greater (>>) silencing of the masses (mˢ). It is positively eerie that this has become a global norm that not one mathematician to my knowledge has routinely highlighted as having common jurisdictional subsets. Perhaps they too are fearful of repercussions i.e. scared shitless; and rightly so.

Between the World and Me
Although stereotypical treatment of African-American people seems to be a relic of the past, the reality proves another habit. In the book Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses the violation of black people's rights based on racial prejudices. The literary work is written in the form of a letter, which is addressed to the writer's son. Thus, the author transmits his vision of the current situation to the next generation pondering on the issues of police violence and racial injustice. Furthermore, the images of sexual assault on African-American women together with other effects of white supremacy demonstrate that the racial oppression remains topical nowadays. Additionally, the book provokes disappointing feelings about the modern American society, treatment of black people, and the freedoms they desperately struggle for. Therefore, Coates' work shows that while the fight of African-Americans for their rights continues, themes of racial injustice, police cruelty, and the inaccessible American dream are the reality of the modern United States.

Covid-19 and the Age of Misinformation
I cannot follow the logic of some on the right. At first “the libs got it wrong. “We are only going to see 60k deaths. The projections were wrong.” As we approached 60k, the script changed. It was “well the CDC revised its count downward.” Then the media reports that, in fact, the count was not revised downward and the discrepancy you see is the difference between provisional deaths and confirmed deaths. For a death to be confirmed, you have to have a death certificate. It often takes weeks after a reported death to get a death certificate. If someone tests positive for covid-19 and then subsequently dies from complications, then it’s presumed to be caused by covid-19. That’s a logical assumption. There has been hardly any deaths that have been revised from the time of the presumed deaths until the time the death certificate confirms the death.

What's Wrong With Black Men?
This question is usually asked in articles written by black females. The reality in the answer is far deeper and is often times overlooked in general conversations and in the general dialog in the black community. When this subject is spoken on in a lot of articles written by black females it is usually written very passionately with “surface facts”(Surface facts are facts that can be obviously seen and can be proven and often times stand alone). When a black male is writing on this very same subject we have to pull history, psychology, and even refer to shifts in societal norms to further explain what is going with black men. The issues with black men are not of any type of epidemic proportion or anything like that, but more of systemic and societal changes.

'Covid' Ops: Forum for a corporate coup?
Mention the word conspiracy in relation to the current “Covid-19” pandemic and the biggest difficulty people have in coming to terms with the possibility it could be true is the sheer scale of the operation… how could so many countries be party to such a plot?

Is Sweden Risky Strategy Really Worth It?
Denmark was among the first European countries to go into lockdown. Sweden went for the path of herd immunity, making it a rare case among developed economies to do so. There was no total lockout, and it advised but did not enforced strict social distancing.
