Comment Iron Curtain v2 (Score 3, Interesting) 99

This is not the beginning of World War III, this is just the logical consequence of a dictatorship.
When the situation seems hopeless for the youth, they start to escape from the country.
To stop this, the One True Leader must close the borders, otherwise he will run out of cannon fodder.

I experienced this in the Communist Eastern Block once, and feeling somewhat similar now also in Hungary and in Poland...

Name of capitol is Budapest - please spell it correctly at least (btw its a really nice city).
Only 20% of the population lives at Budapest, so the country cannot be called as a city-state.

Otherwise about the prime minister, Mr. Orban's puppets: unfortunately it is all true.

He and his ruling party
- captured the state with mafia methods,
- syphons out taxpayer's money to well-behaving friendly firms and to family members,
- oppresses any counter-opinions,
- constantly rewrites the election rules to make any opposition more difficult if not impossible.

Their methods are well.known:
constant propaganda from captured media, dirty lies against everyone who is not Us, fear mongering especially about foreigners and "hidden traitors", support from the Church in exchange for constant flood of money.

All this not from some African dictatorship, but from Central Europe... really sad.

DO NOT DO IT.
Spend the life together with your family, your kids.
Forget the bits and nerd stuff.
Read and walk with your children.
Get a dog, that makes you move out more frequently.
