Hello reader,

Treason? Really? I guess it wouldn’t be our government if they didn’t overreact to any trend that’s even remotely critical of them.

In the spotlight over the past few days is a trend in which people hoist a pirate flag from the hit anime “One Piece” as a symbol of dissatisfaction towards the way the country is being run. Now, the highest officials in the land seem to be contemplating criminalizing the flag, however absurd that sounds.

More on that below.

Cheers,

Andra
