How the information overdose turns ignorance into fear, fear into hatred and hatred into violence

Nearly nine centuries ago, the Cordoban philosopher Ibn Rushd condensed the darkest geography of the human soul into a single sentence. Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hatred and hatred ends in violence. The equation, formulated by Averroes, remains valid because it describes a mechanism humanity repeats with a fidelity bordering on ritual, generation …

In India, a minister’s resignation settles a recent fraud, not the exam machine that is a century and a half old

Last Saturday, as police fired tear gas at protesters in New Delhi, Dharmendra Pradhan announced his resignation as India’s education minister on the social network X. The news was celebrated as a victory for the generation that named itself cockroaches, hundreds of thousands of young people who had spent weeks demanding his head after a …

EP09 - The Fractured Peace

Ten years after the signing at the Colón Theatre, the war has not resumed and it has not ended either. It has fragmented into parallel processes, some judicial, some military, nearly all unfinished. The accord meant to close a century of agrarian conflict remains open on its hardest points, while the country elects a government …

WHAT IS ACIDREPORT?

EDITORIAL DECLARATION — ACIDREPORT

« The world is not chaotic. It is administered. By identifiable interests, with documentable methods, for the benefit of actors who would prefer not to be named. Journalism that pretends not to see this does not practise neutrality: it practises complicity. »

SERIES "THE STATE OF CRIME"

History of Zionism

Zionism was born as a political response to a century of European persecution of Jews and turned, after 1948, into a state apparatus that administers occupation, war and a diplomatic impunity built over decades. This series reconstructs, across eleven episodes, that transformation, from the first congress in Basel to the military campaign in Gaza that a growing number of specialists describe as genocide, passing through the lobby that shields that impunity in Washington and the Jewish voices that denounce it from within.

The missing story

The journalistic agenda is not built in a vacuum. Behind every published article, dozens never came to be. Stories without witnesses, phenomena without names, silences that no one had the time or resources to break.

If there is a story that deserves to be told, write to the newsroom. A company operating outside public scrutiny, a policy that crushes what it claims to protect, a pattern that repeats without anyone having documented it. We do not promise to publish. We promise to read.

We do not store personal data. Your email is used only if the newsroom needs to contact you.
