" #Russia adds #Hungary to 'unfriendly countries' list after #Magyar wins"

@benroyce now's not the time to be polite! Because all these vampires need sunlight!
-
@benroyce Russia could, of course, be friendly, instead of aggressive. I doubt that's occurred to Putin.
-
@benroyce Aw diddums, will Magyar not launder Putin's money to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) anymore? Where Bannon spoke openly in 2017 of "deconstructing", i.e. dismantling, the federal government of the United States? Has it all been exposed as a hostile foreign influence operation?
What a shame.

@ApostateEnglishman @benroyce "Oh no… what a tragic loss for all those who thrived on shady alliances and ‘creative’ definitions of democracy. Funny how things start to fall apart once the spotlight hits, isn’t it?"

@ahmadlubna @benroyce Here it is - Bannon's address to what we now know has been the Kremlin-funded CPAC in 2017, cited in Naomi Klein's book, 'No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need', first published the same year.
This is not the full speech, just some more data-points in a disturbing picture that suggests American politics in now thoroughly compromised by its traditional geostrategic adversaries. The Cold War never really ended...it just got colder.
-
@benroyce and Magyar was probably classified as 'иноагент' (foreign agent) which would be ironic, because technically Orban was the foreign agent for Russia...

@ApostateEnglishman @ahmadlubna @benroyce I wonder how Bannon can keep putting out stuff like that and not be investigated for treason.

"Imagine. To peer across the world and know the enemy's secrets. To place our thoughts into the minds of your leaders. Make your teachers teach the true version of history, your soldiers attack on our command. We'll be everywhere at once, more powerful than a whisper, invading your dreams, thinking your thoughts for you while you sleep. We will change you… all of you from the inside. We will turn you into us. And the best part? You won't even know it's happening"

@benroyce One of the things I like best about democracy's victory in Hungary is that it provides an irrefutable argument against those who claim "voting doesn't matter" and "voting can't change totalitarian regimes." Of *course* voting matters! Orban is gone! Everyone needs to vote, every time! (And we can still protest, throw sabots, etc. It's not either/or.)

but if it's true that voting works, that means i can't just whine endlessly and impotently online, to do the fascists' work for them and argue for helplessness and inaction on a potent tool against them, and thus provide a rationale for accepting their abuse
but surely my cynical defeatist whining will fix things?
