Oh no, Czech… 💔😢

Would someone from the Czech Republic please explain how in 2025, the country of Václav Havel would vote for Andrej Babis — a wealthy Donald Trump type who owns a big chunk of the agricultural industry and wants to reduce support for Ukraine?

I am baffled.

I couldn't believe it.

All Czechs, I know, are just so wonderful and thoughtful people.

@randahl the #russian propaganda tools are in full swing: nationale media mostly in the hands of billionaires with a extreme right agenda. #facebook #tiktok #instagram and many social platforms have no moderators. Many fascists are openly speaking on TikTok. The #eu does nothing about it. They let it go. Soon liberal #democrasy is over.

@randahl propaganda is powerful, and the bigger the crowd, the more stupid it is. Hitler's words, not mine, but he proved he was right. Alas...

Someday declaring yourself a trumpist will hasten your defeat. That day is not today, apparently.

@randahl the media ecosystem is controlled by fascists. undemocratic media institutions are really devastating. EU need specific and universal requirements for election and media system. it shouldn't just based on European identity.
😵‍💫 I am not sure if any of these declining democracies really care about it... it seems mainstream politics neglect it totally.

Lemme guess, informational attacks by Putin!

Every country is sitting on a powder keg of fascism. Anybody sitting on their powder keg smoking a cigarette thinking "It can't happen here" is in fact the reason it can happen.

@randahl Putin's infiltration is progressing rapidly in Europe and is far from over. 😤

@randahl I'm not from there, but I would guess some part of it is owed to Meta, X-Corp and TikTok.

@randahl I am not surprised. They were there a couple of years ago. It is a perfect example of money manipulating public opinion. We should not underestimate that influence. Especially through corporate social media, but also classic media in tv, radio and print, these guys push narratives.

Even liberal countries, like the Netherlands, or larger ones, like Germany, have right wing extremists with high election percentages and conservative parties moving to the right.

@randahl People miss the important part where the actual "full retard pro-russian parties" either failed or lost mandates

It's not as bad as it looks
