The Heritage Foundation not only helped Orbán into power, but also learned a lot from their playbook.
In Hungary, state institutions like the police of the tax bureau only target people and companies outside of Fidesz’es interest group. That’s what they want to adapt, so every company will fall in line with Project 2025.
Yeah, but a lot of conservatives, and by extension fascists, are extremely hypocritical on the surface, except they like to use “hypocrisy” as a tool against their opponents, and by “hypocrisy”, I mean not following the strawman version of your ideology. I personally call this as “rulebending”, they’re manipulating their opponents rules to be even higher and thus choking them with it.
On a deeper level they just want a lot of power, which includes them being above the law, as long as they’re loyal to the dictator/king. If project 2025 succeeds, expect one of them getting caught on live with real CP, maybe even raping a child, then will just go “so what? I can do this, you are not allowed to!”.
For fascists, freedom of speech equals saying slurs.
One of the part of Project 2025 is using the military to crush protests, and it will have dire consequences to the whole world. I’m pretty sure the American christofascists will have a much better time exporting their censorship to other countries than China and Russia does, especially if they can just kick out (or jail, or even assassinate) any content provider not doing their dirty job to all regions.
However, some parts of the military are very progressive (they could just betray Trump, side with the people, etc.), and one could make memes about how one can make Molotov cocktails, how to illegally modify your regular AR-15 into a fully-automatic rifle, or how to turn a high pressure washer into a flamethrower.
Different standards. Conservatives did this since the fall of kings, and doing this while want to reinstate them.
If the opponent messes up, they’re incompetent. If they themselves, it’s either someone else’s problem, just part of being human, or try to cover it up with the media until everyone forgets it.
One party has principles, arguably too much in some sense.
The other either just voting for them because they love tradition so much they need to vote someone conservative, just want less taxes, or outright just evil and want to see the suffering of their fellow human beings if those happen to belong to the wrong group.
There was some LLM-powered pen in the makings, I haven’t heard about it since. Was part of the Rabbit/AI Pin style of AI junk.
The whole “live and let live” movement normalized far-right talking points in my country, then the “live and let live” movement suddenly disappeared…
This could easily lead to not firing the public servants that are not loyal enough, but outright assassinating them at best, or just Trump keeping the presidency (dictatorship) until the end of his life instead of holding elections at worst.
And when Putin asks Trump to accept the end of Ukraine and no longer accept the Ukrainian language as separate from Russian, he will immediately do some executive orders.
Posting about pedophilia on social media gets you deboosted, shadowbanned, etc. Don’t know if it’s by design, however tech giants love governments that want to remove regulations.
The Heritage Foundation existed for a very long time, and many far-right evangelicals wanted to take over the US. They played a long game. They even sunk 1 billion dollars into the whole project, and needed to learn from some other countries like Hungary and Russia. At least the HF has a lot of ties to the Orbán regime of Hungary, our only luck is it’s on slow burn thanks to the EU.
Jokes on you, I rarely doomscroll on Lemmy! I more often “joyscroll” here, except if it’s some lemmygrad or hexbear escapee.
Reminder that chuds that cry about “losing a femboy” used her to trick their friends into liking her, then reveal her true nature, then call their friends homophobic slurs.
I think it will give a rise to blocking ads through intercepting network connections…
Imagine me working on a 6.8" phone and a bluetooth keyboard…
It’s enough for writing documentation, and for a while I was top notch at writing my docs at my underpaid job, but then I went through multiple burnout, while my sleep progressively got worse.
Hopefully they won’t extend my contract after November, so I can finally sleep when I want, and not when people that feed their chickens at 5:00AM do.
I’m thinking on going back to optical media, for archiving purposes. It’s even ransomware-resistant.
