I remember this and still feel like the news is lying to me.

That is horrible, yet the blatant boldness is pretty fucking funny!

I guess we are always unfairly pointing just at America’s theatrics but a lot of the worlds politics are equal parts trouble sauce

I live in the USA so I can get this level of independent journalism from Fox News
Richter12x2
Yeah, when every news station except "The one the president likes" tells you something, it's pretty safe to say those aren't the state ones.

Between the bus driver and the hunter in camouflage I dont know who to believe. Fox News will point me in the right direction. (insanely /S)

Magical phrase after 1968 Tlaltelolco's massacre in Mexico which left hundreds dead: "today was a sunny day" (tv's news host)

People need to stop acting like every news outlet is the same. It just creates a breeding ground for more misinformation

They couldn't even, like, idk, change out of uniform? Try to hide it even a little bit?
HunglikeaHamster
No, their uniform emphasises their authority. Without it no one would know who they were. It takes a general to tell you there's no coup...

I live in Hungary, the government took over the state television and then bought a commercial tv channel to agree with it
Ijustwantquiet
How does the government take over it's own TV station?

Government oversight and party mouthpiece are not the same thing

But tucker carlson said the president of Hungary is misunderstood and has been doing very well b/c he didn't let immigrants in!?!?
RazzleDazzle69
Funny because Orban had parts of Tucker's statement censored in the media because he
criticized Xi Jinping, who he's buddies with.
kalamariner
That must be one of the reasons why the Finnish right wing asshoes love Orban etc.

Trump would be envious

What was the media's take on the Ticket Carlson visit. I have relatives in Hungary but sadly they're old and Orban supporters

As someone who grew up in Serbia during the 90s, I wanna give you a quick heads up on what you have to look forward to - read up on it
CoxZuckerMachine
What to read on exactly? (I only know about the war/dissolution/Milosevich, who shitty succeeded him?)
whiterabbit1322
I would suggest methods of control they used, leveraging media, police actions, stealing public property, dealing with "dissidents" and 1/2
whiterabbit1322
free media and journalists. Read up on how they used the poor and football hooligans as their militia and how they sent them to 2/3
whiterabbit1322
war zones to commit war crimes without any liability, basically rape, pillage, murder innocents. The last few are extremes in war time 3/4

As a Zimbabwean who went through it. The whole thing was nerve wracking and absolutely hilarious. 11/10 would coup again.
MarsVtron
I would love for someone to make a Four Lions type of satire movie for this.
ExTechOp
Would you care to make a post about the hilarious parts of it, since from here in Finland we didn't see any of those details, only the grim?
SirHobsTheFolf
Yup! Can do. I think I still have old photo's of the coup. Couldn't take photo's of the military tho.

Following for the post, can’t wait to hear your perspective!

Great to hear from someone over there. I'm glad the situation is improving for you. You should do a post about the country.

Are things better or is that kind of a hard question?

That's actually a good question! Things are a LOT better than the Mugabe era, but a lot also has not changed. We're still using a face 1/

Currency, the USD is still the primary buying power. Racism is SO much better than before. We don't have as many power cuts as before 2/
SirHobsTheFolf
Though certain area's of the country are still suffering from 18-22 hour daily powercuts. Mainly limited to the rural areas. 4/

Politics is still a super bad area. Country is still being raped by both politicians and foreign powers for money and resources 6/
