India, the world’s largest democracy, prepares to kick off its election season in just a matter of weeks. But activists and experts worry that the government is cracking down on platforms and internet service providers to silence critical voices, and tighten its grip on the information ecosystem....
The idiocracy is spreading everywhere, the idiots around the world like idiocracy. See india, trump, orban, brexit boris, putin, ans other so called “right wing illiberal”-s. BTW orban was actually a commie back in those days… and still he is, see the govermental prices, everything centralised government, goverment success propaganda and demonization, etc, he work exactly like his commie predecessors, except of saying about himself “i am anticommunist right wing conservative”. He also voted down 24 times the opening of the communist agent files…
Its not a theory, its a fact for orban and its comrades. They were all in high function in hungarian “communist youth organization” (KISZ), or the older ones in “hungarian socialist people’s party” (the state party), until the fall of iron curtain. And now they more-less rebuilt that system in hungary. But now there are some demonstrations, because orban’s puppets as it turned out tha pardoned a convicted pedophile assistant, and released him from prison. The pedo helper K Endre is a good comrade around the orban family.
Everyone is equal, in theory, which was never became reality. Thats why i call orban, stalin, putin, etc as commies, not communists. These are doing the same things: rule, and exploit people.

Decades? Centuries! They are like these since centuries! And they convert the occuppied people to be and act like them too. For example here in hungary, a lot of people who lived and were young under soviet occupation, want to turn back to those times, so they vote on orbán’s fidesz, and his comrades, who building back the feudal-commie style dictatoric regime.
