You only need one drum and a clever sign to terrify an insecure government.What happens when a nation builds walls—not around borders, but around thoughts? In this satirical Nomadistani dispatch, we take a sharply humorous look at what happens when protest becomes a crime, sameness becomes law, and mirrors become contraband. If you've ever wondered what vanilla ice cream has to do with authoritarianism, you're in the right place. Watch, react, and let us know: when did you last see your own reflection clearly? Drop your thoughts below—especially the spicy ones.The Article:To Our Neighbors Building Walls Around IdeasUniformity Is Not Unity - It's Surrenderhttps://2ndhalfmastery.substack.com/p/to-our-neighbors-building-walls-aroundOFFICIAL SITE FOR NOMADISTAN NEWS AND INFORMATIONFrom the Wayward Mind of Rick Higgins:https://rickhiggins.comWanna Support All That We Do?🎉 PATREON - https://unplanned.life🎁 AMAZON STORE - https://www.amazon.com/shop/rickhiggins🔗 WEBSITE - https://rickhiggins.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/rickhigginsVenmo: https://venmo.com/u/thepiratewandererPaypal: https://paypal.me/thepiratewandererThis is obviously (I say obviously because someone won't get the obviousness), a satire on world current events. I don't believe that the endless echo chamber "debates" that only seem to serve shareholder value are doing much to start meaningful change towards reason and sanity. So Nomadistan is our example. Struggles, mistakes, but always with the goal of people in mind, not profit.If you'd like to play along, please comment early and often, but keep it kind and civil. Because my other strong believe is that one moves forward by bulling others into submission.POLITICS, SATIRE, CULTURE, LIFE, CRITICAL THINKING, PROTEST IS GOODThis satirical episode of Nomadistan People's News uses allegory and biting humor to explore the rising global trend of authoritarian responses to peaceful protest, the criminalization of dissent, and the weaponization of cultural sameness. Inspired loosely by recent events—such as military deployments in response to protests in the U.S., political leaders labeling peaceful demonstrators as insurrectionists, and the double standard of how actual violent uprisings are reframed as patriotism—this fictional report from the Republic of Nomadistan offers a mirror to current social and political dynamics.Set in a fictional nation known for embracing messy freedom, emotional complexity, and joyful disagreement, this episode introduces viewers to the concept of metaphorical walls being built around individuals rather than nations. These walls are constructed from dogmatic bricks labeled “Order,” “Tradition,” and “Approved Patriotism,” and they reflect how oppressive regimes often mask control as safety and erase individuality in the name of stability. The episode also explores how sameness, once achieved, becomes unsustainable for those in power—who rely on fear and “others” to justify their existence.Designed for audiences who appreciate satire with substance, this video speaks to viewers interested in politics, culture, human rights, protest movements, authoritarianism, and resistance—but through the lens of fictionalized storytelling and vintage propaganda aesthetics. The style blends dark comedy, faux-diplomatic narration, and poetic visuals to dissect real-world events without triggering algorithmic suppression or direct political labeling. Ideal for those who follow The Daily Show, Andrew Callaghan, or fictional states like the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, this episode is part of a growing series using Nomadistan as a mirror world to reflect the absurdity, danger, and hope embedded in modern civic life.Chapters:0:00 Welcome!0:30 This Is All Community Supported … So THANK YOU!
