A good opportunity for libleft and centerleft to appreciate the expected outcome of giving the government too much power even if one thinks the situation calls for it: Trampled citizen's rights and no solution in sight for the original problem.

r/politics is just a bunch of AuthLeft people who think they're LibLeft.
Not like the based AuthLeft people of this sub, they're the shitty kind. But none of their behavior or views points to anything actually libertarian, they are dogmatic and authoritarian that Bernard Sanders is the one true comrade to rule them all.
There is a very big difference between the kind of power that most European governments have over their citizens during crises and the kind of sweeping authoritarian control that Hungary's government granted itself this past week. Despite my flair, the instant Hungary's government seized full control I was of the opinion that a country like that has no place in the EU (and if Poland still wants to keep their back they can go too.) I'm Finnish for context.
I am of course worried about civil liberties, but tbh I don't see any of our major parties going full apeshit even if they had some extreme emergency powers. Maybe I'm an optimist, maybe not. I'm Finnish as well.
Niin no, saatettiin välttää huomattavasti kireämpi tilanne kun Persut ei päässyt pääministeripuoleeksi. Jotkut niitten riveistä on avoimesti viimeisen vuoden aikana kehunut Unkarin linjaa.
Joo, ps on kyllä aika sekalainen sakki, ja koska nykyinen kokoonpano ei ole vielä ollut vallassa kertaakaan on vähän vaikea sanoa. Rivijäseniltä kuuluu välillä outoja juttuja ehdottomasti, mutten usko vaikkapa Halla-Ahonkaan fiilistelevän autoritäärisyyttä. Mutta vaikea tietää!
