Authoritarian regimes often don’t want to cover up the murder of protesters. They are proud of it. The revel in it. They actively want people to know
Because then you understand this is what happens if you defy them. It is a display of power and impunity. We will do this, and nobody can stop us

Happy Festivus.
Remember, it is a time for the airing of grievances, so be sure to air workplace grievances to your boss.
Even better, team up with your coworkers and air your grievances collectively.
