Listen up!

It is disrespectful to ban people from using their legal holidays to protest problems in a democracy. It says that your employer is also your social master and owns your rights as a citizen. This is the opposite of freedom. That is like when you are a little child misbehaving and your father says "so, is so". All people working for such companies must feel like indentured servants. That is so humiliating. Isn't that the sort of thing that we ended with the advent of independence? What a slap in the face!

Start applying and get a job in a company where you are not considered as a second class citizen, if you can! If it's the last thing I did, I would find a way to leave such a company.

Complaining about problems affecting the population is the fundamental idea of Democracy, as opposed to Autocracy:

Protest action is an escalation which occurs when governments do not listen to complaint action;

History tells us that further escalation into violence occurs when protest action is ignored or clamped down;

Freedom is a thing that people around the world would fight and die for. The well-known phrase "give me freedom or give me death" exemplifies this.

Let us learn from what happened in the mighty US. Learn from the French Revolution. Learn from Czar Nicholas in Russia. Learn from the US civil war. Learn from the effects of terrorism.

The power of the common people washes away even the mightiest and most powerful lords and masters.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH POWER YOU HAVE, IF YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE, THEY WILL ESCALATE UNTIL YOU MUST LISTEN. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE VOICE OF THE LAND. HISTORY TELLS US NOTHING BUT THAT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Those who abuse power will fall. History also proves this.

GET THE POINT? ESCALATION OCCURS UNTIL YOU LISTEN THE PEOPLE.

LISTEN AND ACT ACCORDINGLY. UNDERSTAND WHAT AN ELECTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE. GOVERNMENT HAS TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, NOT ABUSE THE PEOPLE.
