I remember discussing about 2 years ago how PiS and Fidesz are very obviously following the same playbook and Hungary's approach of media control before gutting the courts seems to be the more successful strategy so far (PS: Obviously it's also easier for them as their language is much more isolated).

And then I was shouted down by Poles telling me that this is all bullshit as media control will never happen in Poland without the population putting up massive resistence...

So basically we have Hungary which is pretty fascist, Poland, Italy and France going fascist. Mmm, I wonder if there's a pattern here.

There's a growing Neo-Nazi movement in Poland, we must be careful, it won't be long until the US starts supplying them with weapons.

Thankfully, I'm not black. I'm not blonde either and I don't have blue eyes but I should manage if the nazis take over.

EDIT: My mother is blonde with green eyes, maybe I could carry a picture of her as proof of my lineage if all left-wing movements fail and the liberals install another fake democracy controlled by the rich.
