Fascism's causes are many and situational; economic depression is one risk among many. "X causes Y" is too often an oversimplification most times, especially when lacking overwhelming quantitative supporting evidence.
This is a key vulnerability of package publication without peer review plus curation. Going to have to have many more automated behavioral code coverage analysis plus human reviewers rather than allowing unlimited, instant publication from anyone and everyone.
Probably flagged by MAGA and pro-Kremlin aligned accounts who dislike the results and uppercase Liberal limousine establishment Democrats who try to censor every view they don't already agree with. If these were normal times, the I'd say keep sex, religion, and politics private except not the latter when liberal democratic politicians, speech-debate, and journalism are/were under fire in many sectors and countries. I'm hoping with this result that Hungary will experience much greater press and personal freedom.. and the corruption will hopefully be exposed more widely similar to Caolan Robertson only hinting at some of the extravagant emoluments and embezzlement. https://youtu.be/HiayCdysN04
It's kinda gross that the Nazi lite Kremlin-backed party currently has 54 seats and the Nazi equivalent party has 7 so far. And it's not like Tisza isn't neoliberal-neocon, pro-billionaire, and pro-privatization as it's nothing like a liberal democracy progressive party at all.
Maybe Elon, JD, and Orbán should tour all together and bring some Putin portraits with them to inspire support?
I'm from America and I also dislike it because it's usually a rude question often used by small-minded people to pigeonhole others into presumptive stereotypes or by people who don't put much thought into substantive or genuine conversation. It's also sometimes a passive-aggressive question really asking "How much do you make?" by cheap materialists.
Alternatives:
"What do you spend time on that you enjoy?"
"How or where did you meet 'x'?"
"What's the most interesting, counterintuitive thing you've learned recently?"
LLM generation services will eventually subtly manufacture consent for pro-consumption and shopping-oriented answers that possibly steer users towards specific products, if not overtly generate ads in-band, and participate in overt and covert sponsorships and exclusivity deals. They largely already have the over-confident hallucinated bullshit working, it's just a matter of monetizing it for platform benefit.
Yep. There are many, many big fish in tiny ponds overrated and overpaid assholes who lord status, seniority, and title over others by overtalking and ignoring others, shoot down everyone else's ideas reflexively, and are unable and unwilling to see anything outside of their narrow, calcified viewpoint. I remember this atrophied Cisco CCIE who became a manager scoff at WireGuard because "he hadn't heard of it" while promoting antique ASA VPN that was fragile, unreliable, and unsupported. Then there was this negative, inhuman IC paid somewhere $750k-1M year who had been there forever who was in-charge of "important things" incapable of listening to anyone else's ideas or communicating anything cooperative, positive, or real in the slightest... but always there to express FUD about everyone else's plans and ready to make people look stupid or incompetent at the slightest perceived nit. Bloody hell, prima donnas need to be fired immediately for the sake of team morale.
Because, unlike the 1980's and the USS Roberts incident, no mines were actually planted. Duh. This is a PR FUD disinfo campaign to sell Ayatollabooth tickets to split proceeds with Drumpf. When lacking a capability* and the media environment is weak and gullible, the next best and cheaper thing to doing the actual thing when it is difficult/risky to verify is bluffing.
* While Iran's separate, official Navy was essentially destroyed mostly in port and uncrewed almost like a decoy army, the IRGC's smaller vessels could plant mines if they so chose but being caught doing so would be a PR loss and would create hazards for friendly vessels of all kinds. It's better to go to great lengths to bluff low information, neurotic people that mines "exist" to get them to submit to tolls and inspections; perhaps release several videos of various IRGC boats "laying mines" (to be demined shortly afterwards) in unverified locations to suggest that it happened.
