Sri Lankans stormed the Presidential Palace and drove into the pool. First thing to do after overthrowing a government? Has a kind of French Revolution feel to it. If anything else, it is great entertainment!
The reason for this turn of events is the Sri Lankan government's attempt to confiscate farmland and to "reduce nitrogen". Italy had a calmer change over government over the same policy and now protests are breaking out in the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland over the same stuff.
Taking people's farms is sheer lunacy.
The alleged democracies seem to have forgotten that they work for the people, not the other way around. You have natural rights to make a living as well as speech and association, values that seem to be under attack by Western governments.
Two ways to handle it.
Peaceful protest or revolution.
As President Kennedy once said, "If you make peaceful change impossible, revolution becomes inevitable."
Let's avoid it all together and do the right things.
Common sense does not cost anything.
Lack of it.....well, see the picture.
