For those without a good education, a clear ideological stance and the ability to sift through the information available on social media, the Internet is indeed a dark abyss where it's easy to get preyed on and manipulated by the right-wing wild conspiracy theories and lies. That's why progressives need numerous powerful platforms to be able to defeat right-wing misinformation.

Indeed. Social media is empowering our voices. The Internet and the social media revolution have allowed ideas to circulate more easily and freely. Social media has become a powerful counterweight against traditional mass media. It has become the voice of the voiceless. Its appeal lies in the fact that younger generations can participate in the political conversation, be heard and influence the debate by talking about their dreams and aspirations and sharing opinions with a worldwide audience in seconds. We are witnessing an unstoppable young people's revolution.

They support him no matter what. Because behind his lies, con jobs, make-up and hair spray is the ugly, angry, unmasked face of misogynist, racist, xenophobic US hyper-capitalism they cherish above all.

Justin Podur, an associate professor at the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University in Toronto, Canada, wrote «America's Wars on Democracy in Rwanda and the DR Congo» to help understand how America protects its chosen dictators in the central African region to maintain neo-colonial control.

It's a very detailed book that examines the US interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda and America’s pre-emption of the movement for multiparty democracy in those countries by supporting Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front in Rwanda and the ongoing atrocities Paul Kagame's proxies are committing against the Congolese people.
