Populist, billionaire and self-proclaimed “Trumpist” Andrej Babis won the Czech parliamentary election Saturday in a political comeback that put the country on a course away from supporting Ukraine and toward Hungary and Slovakia, which have taken a pro-Russian path.
Unfortunately, it’s the future of Europe, we will all be dictatorships by the 2030s. To those who still care about the democratic values, enjoy it while you can, it won’t last.
This is the reality.
I’m beginning to think there could be a democracy-dictatorship cycle. Takes about a hundred years for a full revolution to take place.
It’s always dictatorship, just by different means. Democracy is just too unstable with an internet that makes controlling information very difficult.
You could be on to something as far controlling the masses are concerned. Different tools were used in different times, but the games is still essentially the same.
However, the Arab Spring showed how fragile dictatorships can be when people start using the social media. Nowadays, we’re seeing how the dictators are using the very same tools for their advantage.
