   • 2013 June 7, Gary Younge, “Hypocrisy lies at heart of Manning prosecution”, in The Guardian Weekly‎^[1], volume 188, number 26, archived from the original on 6 June 2019, page 18:

     WikiLeaks did not cause these uprisings but it certainly informed them. The dispatches revealed details of corruption and kleptocracy that many Tunisians suspected, but could not prove, and would cite as they took to the streets. They also exposed the blatant discrepancy between the west's professed values and actual foreign policies.

   • 2018, Corey Pein, Live Work Work Work Die‎^[2], →ISBN:

     But in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, a large audience of Americans finally saw the real beta uprising in the violent Nazi rally that shut the city down, terrorized the population, and culminated in the vehicular homicide of a local leftist woman

   • 2020 June 2, David S. Cohen, “Donald Trump Is Trying to Start a Race War”, in Rolling Stone‎^[3], archived from the original on 3 June 2020:

     Racism courses through Donald Trump’s blood and is one of the foundational principles of his presidency. Which is why, when faced with one of the greatest uprisings against police brutality this nation has seen, a movement led by black people around the country and joined by all other people of color and white people as well, his only policy solution is to start a race war.
