I am a very big fan of long form journalism. I was hoping to post a few articles I've enjoyed recently and others would do the same in this thread. TIA

Somehow the article made the freedom fighter bro a pretty unsympathetic figure.  He seemed to be in it more for the party than the bringing freedom to an oppressed people thing.
