Hi Slovaks. Brit here. In the U.K. and other “later stage capitalist” countries I can imagine how a drift towards greater authoritarianism is going to be driven by anti immigration sentiment, and the increasing alienation felt by much of the lower and middle classes in regard to their stake in society. It is perceived there are fewer opportunities for economic advancement than there were a generation or two ago. Most people feel they cannot “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” with blue collar work. Our industrial base was pretty much cleared out in the 1980s, we are now facing global competition, and there are consequently few decent paying blue collar jobs. The gulf between those who own a home (or have or will Inherit a home) leaves those on the wrong side feeling that hard work will never bridge the divide. Regulation and market capture by corporations seems to lead many to feel small scale entrepreneurship is a risk not worth taking – chains and franchises rule, smaller businesses are left floundering.
When I was in Central Europe (Poland, Slovakia)in the early 2000s it appeared to be a very optimistic time. Living standards were rising, and enthusiasm for integrating with. Europe and the world seemed to offer limitless possibilities. I suppose – as is always the case – nothing ever quite works out as hoped for. But equally, by many metrics – Central Europe has been a roaring success.
What do you think are the reasons for slovakias drift into authoritarianism? Is the weight more with economic or cultural reasons? Where did the optimism of the early 2000s go? (Or were my perceptions wrong?) what is the vision for Slovakia that is driving people to vote for authoritarian parties? Do you think similar themes to those driving a similar drift in Germany/Us/Italy are key in Slovakia? Or are there very different drivers?

A ovlada teda Harry tu hadovcinu ?
Toto je také nízke, zobrať najhoršiu fotku, aká existuje z človeka. Kadekto má kadejaké fotky, kde sa netvári najlepšie. Radšej Shootyho.
Nehovorím po hadovsky
výstižne🤌
To je nejaká rodina toho potkana z rozprávky Ratatouille ?
Tady vypadá tak smooth, jako kdyby ho někdo vymodeloval v Blenderu

Robíte presne to, čo robili nacisti, keď takto nelichotivo zobrazovali Židov vo svojej propagande.
Prečo dávať fotku pána premiéra na transparent?
