  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

he's on a global motorcycle tour. generally speaking if you want to see the whole world and not just tourist traps, you're gonna do it by bicycle, motorcycle, or by hiking and taking the bus. the theme of his channel is to show things in the world most people miss because they're taking curated/manicured forays into the world catered to their pre-existing outlooks on other people and places

A random political overthrow fits in there quite nicely, actually.

on some level, with the era he was doing this world tour in, and the specifics of what he was seeking to show the world about how we're all just people and the states that rule us are arbitrary, it was bound to happen eventually

I really like your outlook. "Things fall apart" but less Achebe and more Doctorow
