- After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
- After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
- Worldwide, hundreds of people – many rich and powerful – were arrested.
- Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.

Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel you’re powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.
Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.
