Because they're not obeying the EU dictatorship? Democracy is dead world-wide. It failed. They're only picking on Hungary and Poland because they are anti-islam, non-multiculturalism and the EU wants to destroy the West in a swarm of human shit

Mass surveillance and astroturfing were the final nails in democracy's coffin. Cable news and think tanks were already pushing things in that direction before that. They called it hyper-normalisation in the Soviet Union.

Normalisation was the process of gaining control over every aspect of society that could influence people's minds - newspapers, schools, universities etc. Hyper-normalisation resulted because the 'geniuses' that thought normalisation was a good idea failed to realise that these aspects of society influenced them as well. And as they were authoritarians, their first instinct when a problem arose was always to lie about it. So the compounding effect of propaganda over just a few generations led to everything falling apart.

The fact that the same thing has happened in the US shows that US media is centrally coordinated. The 'geniuses' responsible this time are called lobbyists and intelligence agencies.

Democracy lol. How about the old republic? They had always given us the facade of a democracy to create an apathetic populace. Who knows the law now? BAR associates are shysters. And during Jackson's times the population was cabale of understanding law. Now the majoity of the population knows nothing of law.

Law is the truth of this fallen world. And Lawyers have taken the key away.

The've elevated the art of lying to such a degree that the've turned reality inside out. Example:

Popper's paradox of intolerance ins't that you can't tolerate intolerance, because you can, even if you don't want to. It's that you can't tolerate intolerance if goes to so far as to take away people's right. Yet this inaccurate version of the paradox is being used to take away people's freedom of speech. A clever trick if you've dedicated your life to lying.
