Visegrád 24

This role has no term limits, allowing him to be re-elected by #parliament indefinitely, a move opposition groups call a "constitutional coup."

Protesters are also responding to the government’s #suppression of dissent, including arrests of activists and journalists, and a ban on protests since 2022 following a deadly market attack.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

There can be nothing more utterly subversive of all that is really valuable than the suppression of honest thought. No man, worthy of the form he bears, will at the command of church or state solemnly repeat a creed his reason scorns.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society

This is NOT healthy America. This is America being #ravaged and slowly #destroyed by #conspiracy theories, and #deliberate stifling of #information. This is #criminal #suppression by #antiscience #nutjobs. The product of a #damaged brain and drug addled mind. People running this #government don't care about the common population. They'll save themselves with their hoarded money and let us perish via deliberate acts. #Rise, America! #Oppose these #tyrants. #USPolitics

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

On every hand are the enemies of individuality and mental freedom. Custom meets us at the cradle and leaves us only at the tomb. Our first questions are answered by ignorance, and our last by superstition. We are pushed and dragged by countless hands along the beaten track, and our entire training can be summed up in the word –suppression. Our desire to have a thing or to do a thing is considered as conclusive evidence that we ought not to have it, and ought not to do it. At every turn we run against cherubim and a flaming sword guarding some entrance to the Eden of our desire. We are allowed to investigate all subjects in which we feel no particular interest, and to express the opinions of the majority with the utmost freedom. We are taught that liberty of speech should never be carried to the extent of contradicting the dead witnesses of a popular superstition. Society offers continual rewards for self-betrayal, and they are nearly all earned and claimed, and some are paid.

@LevZadov @_Dreugan_ @nerb @msb @randahl
#Capitalism is the worker who doesn't own their own method of production. Their boss, the #capitalist, owns the machine or tool which the #worker uses to make products or deliver services.

This is true in free-market capitalism, #socialism and #communism.

What makes socialism different to communism, is that communists want to achieve their goals with #dictatorship and #suppression, and socialists with #democracy, #representation and personal freedom
