About that pirate flag
" “One Piece” follows Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, as they challenge a corrupt world government while seeking freedom and adventure.
Luffy’s ability to stretch beyond physical limits after consuming a magical fruit [is] a powerful metaphor for resilience, while his unwavering quest for freedom against impossible odds resonates with young people navigating politics marked by corruption, inequality and authoritarian excess."

Gen Z protests, Morocco "Scores have been arrested in Morocco following protests calling for education and health reforms in the North African kingdom. Demonstrators have complained that the kingdom has spent a fortune on preparations for hosting the 2030 Fifa World Cup while neglecting more immediate priorities. Despite the arrests, GenZ 212 said it would continue the protests against Morocco's spiralling inequality." “Stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?” chanted the activists.
