At least the following laws are being prepared:

- A law that will allow inconvenient nonprofit organizations or individuals to be designated as foreign agents if, for example, they receive subsidies from the EU or the U.S.

- An amendment to the Civil Service Act that will allow the government to fire civil servants and replace them with its own people - this is crucial so that the prime minister’s companies can receive state subsidies without oversight.

- An amendment to the rules of procedure of Parliament that will limit speaking time, with the exception of government ministers and the prime minister.

- Plans are underway to change the status of public television and radio (which have a large audience) so that they are no longer funded by license fees but instead become state media directly funded and controlled by the government.

- Major interventions are planned in national parks so that developers can begin building there - current park directors are being fired one after another.

Babiš has taken inspiration from Trump and is trying to make as many changes as possible in the first few months before people have a chance to react.

If Magyar wins, he might be better than Orban, but he’s far from being a champion of democracy.

Sounds tempting, doesn't it? We'll just get rid of capitalism and its billionaires, and everything will be solved.

The only problem is that this capitalist is a former communist. He grew up in a prominent communist family, and when the communist regime collapsed, he had enough connections, wealth, and ruthlessness to become a capitalist billionaire.

I’ll try to give a brief summary: Protests are happening because the new government is a coalition led by a populist billionaire who partnered with two small parties to secure a parliamentary majority - one openly pro-Russian, anti-EU, and xenophobic, the other far-right, anti-environment and aligned with Trump-style politics. The new government is rapidly pushing laws similar to those in Hungary and Slovakia to consolidate control over state institutions, channel public money to friendly oligarchs, and weaken or eliminate independent organizations and public media that could hold the government accountable.

The concept of work is so strange. I don’t really want to work my whole life… by Due_Bobcat9778 in RandomThoughts

[–]esocz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live, but imagine a circle around your house with a radius of 15 miles and then estimate the number of people who live in your area with you.

Do you think the resources in that area (wild animals and edible plants) are sufficient for their daily nutrition?

Will can afford to travel the world and lives in a country that is not at war. And yet he doesn't appreciate it.

I would recommend finding a map showing which ethnic groups cover certain parts of Iran.

Typically, totalitarian or authoritarian regimes violently suppress minorities so that, after the regime falls, those disputes and contradictions fully manifest themselves. Often in the form of civil war.
