Lords of Resistance in American History | Canberra News

A new book, “Country of Lords,” reveals how America’s resistance to equality stretches from John Adams to today’s tech titans, tracing a centuries-long thread of figures who’ve actively opposed egalitarian ideals—from Andrew Carnegie’s conflicted philanthropy to George Fitzhugh’s racist theories and Henry Ford’s industrial racism. Author Kim Phillips-Fein connects this history to modern tech leaders, arguing that their resistance to liberal values is part of a deeper, ongoing cultural battle rooted in backlash against the civil rights movement.

Cockroach Movement Halts Marches for Safety | Canberra News

Youth-led India’s “Cockroach” movement, born from online satire and now a major political force challenging PM Modi, has paused its marches after violent clashes left dozens injured and nearly 180 arrested. Demanding education reform and the Education Minister’s resignation over widespread exam leaks affecting 2 million students, the self-styled CJP mobilized millions of Gen Z protesters who stormed Parliament. Though halting marches to avoid further violence, they vow to keep protesting — just not with foot traffic. With paramilitary forces on high alert in New Delhi, the movement’s quiet shift signals deeper, unyielding youth frustration — and a revolution still in motion.

Truth Under Siege in Democracies | Canberra News

Truth is no longer just about facts—it’s about who you choose to believe, and that’s tearing democracies apart. As public opinion flips on key votes and polls drift from reality, trust in institutions like courts and elections is crumbling. Social media, once a tool for unity, now fuels endless debate over opinions and entertainment, making elections feel like battles rather than final decisions. In the U.S., political figures routinely ignore established facts—especially about elections—and there are real fears of undermining voting systems. When objective truth becomes partisan, democracy’s very foundation is at risk, with global alliances and governance hanging in the balance.
