Worth noting that the GOP are following Hungary's example closely but not succeeding. Nor is it clear that Orban's life-long rule is a done deal yet, polls are showing Fidesz getting wiped out in next year's election, and he can't simply imprison Péter Magyar because he's currently an MEP. | ||

Right now, France, Germany and UK all have far right parties leading in polls. Russia, China, India, Israel, Iran, Turkaye, Hungary and the US are already there, with US lagging behind but speed running full authoritarianism. All of these authoritarians are friends, in my opinion they all work to help each other out, with maybe China playing a game a bit differently, but overall they all support each other as they consolidate power. What happens when this process is done? Well, for me, it's very hard to see this concluding in anything then a world wide conflict. Once the "domestic enemies" are dealt with, all of these authoritarians will need to keep their populations afraid and angry, they have to be angry at someone, and sooner or later the next great power over will be that someone, they will have to blame someone for things not being better for the people. When that happens, we are all truly and royally fucked. | ||
