We have a "liberal"/progressive government now so I hope they show some spine unlike Babiš and tell China to fuck off

I'm sorry to hear that 😇

But arent progressives usually ones neck deep in China's arse anyway?

Yeah, could be true, though these "enlightened people" we now have here are all about democracy and so on - at least that's what they say. So if nothing else, this is how they could score some points with me. If they have the balls though, maybe I'm just too optimistic.

I do hope so, but I'm afraid you may be misunderstanding.

In current edition of newspeak, 'democracy' means anything good and 'anti-democratic' is anything bad. Like when protest may be either pro-democratic or super-spreader event, or when EU tries to override decision of democraticaly elected goverment in name of 'democracy and european values' 😅

But jokes aside, I'm not saying your next gov is anything like that, simply because I don't know enought about them.

What do you think about Democracy?

Good idea in principle, but usually fails on people simply not giving a flying fuck. Or by havin their votes dissoluted in something like EU.
