I'd probably miss the old #Soviet days too if I was you. We can understand your desire to rebuild the old empire.
Although, for the sake of your mental health, I hope you're not too overly nostalgic. Now that we know what you're up to, we'll certainly thwart your ambitions.

💥A quick appetizer 🧵for my new article. #Chinese investments and #democratic #backsliding are mutually reinforcing in #Hungary. To further monopolize #political and #economic #power, the #Orbán govt continues utilising business provided by #Beijing bit.ly/3G4iICo 1/
After the 🇭🇺 MFA declared that it fully respects the “OneChinaPolicy”, the 🇨🇳 @catl_official announced the largest #industrial investment in #Hungary’s history. It stems from the strategy w/ which #Orbán committed himself to a China-friendly policy for pragmatic reasons 2/
The 🇭🇺 govt tilted the playing field w/ #clientelist #corruption. It created additional #informal sources through which #Orbán cemented #political #economic power. Economic ties with 🇨🇳 became an instrument to explore Asian markets/expand business in a #nontransparent way 3/

What I find as interesting about this chart as its contents is the label at the top: "#LIBERAL WOMEN"
Labour may in part* be more 'liberal' than the current Conservative party, but it is not a Liberal party...

*It still has its more authoritarian, "law'n'order!" tendencies.

Over the past 40 years or so, the face of dictatorship has changed a great deal. Could Britain's increasingly antidemocratic & authoritarian Government mean Britain could be joining the likes of Hungary, Turkey & Rwanda in becoming an autocracy?

This article by Alexander Dukalskis, an expert on authoritarian states & international human rights, is about the multiple ways that authoritarian states – countries where the leadership maintains power by non-democratic means – manage their image abroad.

To manage their image abroad, authoritarian states like #Rwanda try to advance a favourable narrative about themselves.
They do things like hire PR firms to produce positive content, disseminate #propaganda, & cultivate friendly foreigners who can speak on their behalf. 😬

In this article, Durham states that Clinton passed information to the CIA about Russians being in contact with the trump campaign. Yes, we knew this.
He goes on to say that they specifically named trump as the contact. Yes, that was laid out. We knew this.

The Clinton campaign reached out to federal authorities witj intel they obtained from foreign officials who were surveilling Russian activity. That is specifically how the feds got involved in monitoring the trump campaign directly. They followed known Russian asset.
1) IMPORTANT THREAD – Know who your real enemy is. It’s undeniable that our society has never been more divided than it’s today and that very strange things are happening as a result of the #COVID19 pandemic. The left has never leaned more to the right and vice versa.
2) Discrimination is being institutionalised while #Corporatrocracy now controls every aspect of our lives. The world leaders promote and protect the big corporations, the pharma industry in particular, while the poorer become even more poor and marginalised.
3) In this context, the #MSM are playing a crucial role by keeping fear & division on a constantly high level, fueling an endless conflict between those who have doubts about the narrative & restrictions and those who actually accept both. The #antivaxxers against the #provax.

In 2019, writing the decision for Common Cause v. Rucho, Chief Justice Roberts closed off the federal courts as an avenue for addressing partisan #gerrymandering, instead telling citizens to propose state constitutional amendments.
In many states, with statehouses #gerrymandered beyond reach of the people, or otherwise beholden to special interests, these citizen-amendments are the only avenue left for addressing #democracy reform and other policy concerns.
