Gestern versammelten sich Hunderttausende Menschen in Novi Sad, Serbien, um „NEIN“ zum herrschenden Tyrannen zu sagen und der 16 Opfer zu gedenken, die getötet wurden, als der Bahnhof über ihnen einstürzte

It’s so warming to see so many people come together to oust the evil in society.

My wish is for the same spirit to rise up in countries currently experiencing such tyranny. Especially those citizens of a country that has a scarily large influence on the rest of the world…

The problem is, that these people are on the „good“ side, they’re liberals. Which means they won’t start a fight, only retaliate at best. Mr. Tyrant knows this very well. He also knows that these people will soon have to get back to work, school, or family.

So nothing really happens. The people have no real power, they cannot force the goverment to leave, or even to react. Without aggression the people can’t achieve anything, and aggression, opression itself is one of the major things they’re against. They’re in a stalemate.

The same thing happens in Hungary, though – for now – on a smaller scale. People are powerless against their opressor, unless they become the very thing they object. The dictator owns everything, the economy, the jury, the law enforcement.. the limits on their power are only illusory. Russia is down this rabbit hole by far the most, but Turkey is on this path too, even USA itself, and several others are heading this way.

Democracy, and all the international institutions and agreements sworn to protect it, have failed the people. Badly.

Our leaders have failed us, including the EU. They just watch in silence and throw around powerless, meaningless sanctions and threats, while the tyrants just laugh at them. Same way as they laugh at this crowd.
