China Labor Watch (CLW) received a complaint last fall from one of the thousands of migrant workers brought to Hungary from China to help build BYD's first European plant in the city of Szeged - a $6-billion investment intended to supply the European market with around 300,000 vehicles per year. The non-profit organization launched an investigation and provided CBC News with an advance copy of its findings, set for publication later this month.

As Canada lowers its tariffs and imports more electric vehicles from #China, an upcoming report from New York-based labour rights researchers is making new allegations of #forcedlabour practices at the world's bestselling EV manufacturer, #BYD… www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #communism #authoritarianism

DHS Launches Massive “Less Lethal” Chemical Weapons Buying Spree Federal agents’ indiscriminate use of tear gases and “less-lethal” projectiles has become a mainstay of protest crackdowns.

CBP’s $50 million procurement of chemical “less lethal” munitions signals institutionalized expansion of protest suppression capabilities and increased readiness for domestic deployment. #Trump #DHS #Authoritarianism #ProtestPolicing #SecurityApparatus #TheIntercept

The Posse Comitatus workaround: ICE expands into domestic policing Congress gave ICE a $75 billion budget with few strings attached, allowing it to operate beyond its intended scope and bypass traditional checks on power, raising constitutional concerns.

Expansion of ICE into domestic policing roles establishes a civilian workaround to Posse Comitatus limits, enabling sustained coercive enforcement while weakening judicial and congressional oversight. #Trump #Immigration #DHS #Authoritarianism #InstitutionalAccountability #TheHill

When Epstein Becomes the Softer Headline Trump has governed so recklessly, so cruelly, and so publicly out of bounds that even renewed scrutiny of his ties to a pedophile can feel like a distraction from the larger catastrophe.

Trump has governed so catastrophically that renewed scrutiny of his ties to #Epstein can almost feel like the less alarming headline. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #dementia

... Opposition forces have rallied behind rival candidate Péter Magyar, less out of belief in his program than from desperation at the country’s authoritarian turn.

How the Internet Fringe Infiltrated Republican Politics Inside the battle for the post-MAGA G.O.P.

This is the bit people keep missing.

The danger isn’t just Trump. It’s what’s forming behind him.

A generation radicalised online now sees him as too moderate.

Meme culture → grievance → politics → power.

We’ve seen this before. And it doesn’t end well.

The Role of Education in Taming Authoritarian Attitudes - CEW Georgetown Postsecondary education can play a critical role in protecting democratic republics against the threat of authoritarianism.

Pressures of global competition, mass migration, & economic instability have caused a backlash in many parts of the world, namely a rise in authoritarian leaders. Our research finds that higher education can protect democracy from #authoritarianism: bit.ly/32tzWon

Timothy Snyder: The Hungarian Candidate: Is Orbán's Decline tRump's Fall?

The Hungarian Candidate Is Orbán's Decline Trump's Fall?

#Democracide:

“… #Orbán created a model of #post-modern #authoritarianism. Inside #Hungary he managed, largely by way of #constitutional changes, to create an apparently invincible #strategic position for #One-partyRule & his own personal #power:
the #illiberal State”…

Although it was born as a critique of the tensions during #SpainTransition, its message about #authoritarianism, polarization, and the loss of critical thinking feels chillingly relevant today.

The #ToughLove approach to #parenting and #disclipline has long last effects on our brain and those effects are anything but beneficial. #MentalHealth #TroubledTeenIndustry #Authoritarianism #CrimeAndPunishment

The politics of limits: toward a new cleavage axis Why do voters who want stronger social protection, fairer markets, and a liveable planet keep electing governments that deliver the opposite? Why does authoritarian populism win despite its failures? ...

In the Age of Limits, a new political cleavage is emerging, going beyond the left-right dimension - read my new LinkedIn post on 'bounded vs unbounded' politics

Late last month, Hungary's top diplomat Péter Szijjártó admitted he had spoken with Russian officials "on sanctions-related matters" as the EU considered new economic measures targeting Moscow. Szijjártó's admission came atter he was heard in audio leaks, published by a consortium including VSquare and Theinsider, holding friendly talks with top officials including Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin.

Hungary’s talks with Russian officials about sanctions were “a betrayal of the solidarity that is required among members of the European Union,” France’s Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said in an interview Thursday. www.politico.eu/article/top-... #authoritarianism #putinism

The irony. Orbán was actually the beneficiary of the world order he rebelled against. #orban #trump #authoritarianism

Ceasefire Theater, Draft Lists, and the Fine Print of Empire Trump’s White House declared victory while the region kept burning, the Vatican recoiled, allies hedged, and ordinary Americans learned that this government makes it easier to fight a war than to vote

A #WhiteHouse picking fights with the pope, allies hedging, and ordinary workers discovering the fine print was never written for them. Same chaos, same scam, bigger consequences. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #popeleoXIIII #iranwar

We appreciate everyone who showed up to speak out against authoritarianism and the war in Iran yesterday. An overwhelming number of drivers honked or gave a 👍. Even in LYH, people are starting to spit out the Kool-Aid.
