The press has more freedom in Eastern Europe than in the continent’s western half. [According to Hungarian Government]

Ok fuck me, I'm drunk, but there might be some truth in my words. The problems we experience are nothing. We export weapons for decades worldwide and now we pay the bill for it by having refugees who - often enough it seems - import their own deficits - while those who do nothing don't get a headline. This is not a transparent democracy any more. Lobby-driven policy and those managers who caused it, live in a gated community, ready to take the jet to Greenland or what as soon as shit hits the fan. But still the problems we have are nothing. It's gotten worse, yes. But if we vote for those parties who say those who fled from the wars that 'our' government created, if we vote for those who say the refugees are to blame, we vote people who are not adressing any origins of the problem. You can have a communist government or a capitalist one, a right wing or a left wing, it will always be the wrong people who seek power. Merkel is different, but she has not the capability to comunicate the problem and she is alone. Are you really suffering that hard? Yes we need a functioning state, but the police didn't do their job. It was the police. I've been there when I was attacked on anther occasion. They didn't care. The problem is way deeper. We need decades of education in the sense of a humanist reform. Look how post-war Germany with many old Nazis went to Western democracy in 25 years. This progress has been on its way in the West as long as there was an alternative to capitalism - which obviously was socialsm (not really, but the Western people thought it was an alternative and the illusion worked so well, that governments there gave them some benefits in order to keep them in line.) but nowadays education means engeneering and product placement. What .. god I'm devastated. Read 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. It's a great book.
