They also want to turn universities into PragerU types.

Yea, secret voting can be a way to launder your responsibility, by contributing to make someone else responsible for what you want to do.
Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defenses...now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(
...but why? What do they gain from it?
And throws anyone caught in public with a palestinian flag in jail...they really showed it to genocide Joe.
Hey man, grifting and LARPing takes effort too!
fair enough, but still https://e-estonia.com/where-is-our-digital-state-heading/ so long as russia doesnt try any drastic new tricks like space-nuke EMPs, they will be doing alright if they know what they are doing.
Estonia can do it, even under constant russian harassment. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/e-estonia-the-worlds-most-advanced-digital-society
I'd rather russia had just embargoed Ukraine, for the 2014 "revolution" instead of invading. And that China embargo Taiwan instead of invading if that ever comes to pass. Don't you? It's not even a siege as some people are portraying it, there are no secondary sanctions.
That said, I'd rather the embargo were lifted and relations were normalized, maybe Cuba would turn into a sort of Vietnam, but that would take more than just the US lifting restrictions, it would take reform on Cuba's part as well. Even China agrees that Cuba needs market reforms e.g. https://www.diariolasamericas.com/america-latina/china-rompe-acuerdos-comerciales-cuba-ya-no-es-el-sugar-daddy-del-regimen-n5365604 and won't invest in a dying economy unless they change, same as the US.
If there is one thing that authoritarians are any good for, that is using their unlimited power to deflate millionaires' ambitions and keeping them in line e.g. Jack Ma https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56448688 (but yea, despots will help billionaires fuck everyone over if it benefits said despot enough)
Good, I was starting to think it was only China spying on everyone :D
They were courting anyone from the political spectrum who was still a constitutionalist, lefties included, to unite against whatever trump's mood happens to be that day.
