It's kinda funny how the Republicans want to model Hungary's illiberal democracy to hold power and force up the birth rate through "pro-family" policies while Hungary's fertility rate (1.53) is still far below replacement. There's no country that has…

Pop singer Ethel Cain calls for killing more CEOs. I keep saying that younger generations are being radicalized from the denial of any political agency by oligarchs and no one is going to like what's coming. This isn't isolated from what I've seen.
