Police reportedly used live ammunition to control the situation, as well as water cannon and tear gas.

The Gen-Z led demonstrations were over alleged government corruption and a social media ban – which has now been lifted.

Despite Oli’s resignation, protesters are now demanding for the government to dissolve – the country has had 13 since 2008.

Chinese Social Media Users Mock Trump’s June Parade After Xi’s Show Of Power On V-Day

China Victory Parade | US News | China News | Trump News | Donald Trump | Xi Jinping | Xi Vs Trump | Chinese Social Media Users Mock Trump | Victory Day
As China hosts its massive Victory Parade, social media users are taking aim at the U.S. President Trump. Chinese netizens are comparing Beijing’s show of military might, with its latest hardware, laser weapons, and undersea drones, to Trump’s June parade in Washington D.C. The June parade celebrated 250 years of the U.S. Army with tanks, vintage equipment, and pageantry. While both superpowers flaunt advanced forces, analysts say the events are markedly different: China’s display signals Xi Jinping’s vision for global power, while Trump’s parade leant toward historic spectacle.

How Social Media Slowly Ruins Society & What You Can Do

The war for attention isn’t just about distraction—it’s about control. It’s a battle to influence how you think, what you value, and how you act.

And if we don’t wake up to what’s happening, we risk losing the most important thing we have: our ability to think for ourselves.

The ability to direct your attention—to consciously choose what you consume and how you engage—is the most powerful skill you possess.

So if you’ve reduced “brain rot” down to being a social media problem, concluding that we should just reduce our screen time to improve our mental health, then I have bad news for you…

You’ve only scratched the surface.

This is the war of our time. And it’s time we fight back.

In this video I discuss discuss the silent epidemic which plagues the modern world: brain rot.

Defined as Oxford’s word of the year in 2024, brain rot is the deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially as a result of overconsumption of material considered to be trivial or unchallenging.
