Trump has captured half of the US legislature and has a huge group of people who are willing to die for him in battle (and have done so when trying to take over the Capitol, only increasing their fervour).

Of course this is something totalitarians strive for.

That’s why the EU is starting to raise tolls on Chinese PV systems.

how conflicts between ministers and prime ministers from coalitions are resolved?

Usually by ending the coalition (or threatening the move). This leads to expedited elections, which happens a lot in Austria, although usually due to different circumstances like corruption scandals. Alternatively, a different government can be formed, but that is usually very unlikely (though it happened in 2019 when the president appointed a party-neutral interim government that was accepted by the parliament).

The problem Nehammer (the current head of government) is now facing is that regular elections are coming up in September anyways, so it doesn’t really matter whether he quits the coalition. Quitting is actually a bad idea, because then he wouldn’t go into the election as the government party, which can lead to a worse outcome.

She consulted some constitutional experts before doing it.

They have the same rules as all the other democratic countries. The only difference is that they had someone take over the democratic process.

Unlike totalitarian regimes, democracy does not have strong protections against disbanding itself, just look at Hungary, Russia or Turkey. So, in the long run democracy is just a temporary fad that will fade away eventually.

No, buy from Turkey, which gets Russian oil and rebadges it as Turkish.

There was a passenger airliner that was shot out of the sky by the USSR because the pilots failed at navigating.

Is there anybody left on X except far-right loners and Russian bots?

Its owner is part of the misinformation network.

IIRC the complaint was that he wasn’t harsh enough on his colleagues who said some things that could be interpreted as anti-semitic.

Public WiFi is the main problem, anybody connected to the same WiFi could potentially intercept all of your Web traffic. You could use a VPN to avoid that one.

That’s the open secret of the Web, all security on it is just fake. The list of root certificates is way too long to provide any security.

Far-right people are naturally drawn to police work in every country. Only the law and sometimes a sense of duty stops them from going fully SS.

I think there usually are also a few pretty important high-ranking generals on those planes.

This isn’t about winning any particular battle, but to weaken Russia’s awareness of the battlefields all over Ukraine. It’s a slow-boiling long-term success.

It will probably take until 2030 for the EU to react.

Amending the law to fix these issues would take another decade though, so maybe they’re just trying to prolong the process.

As someone who has had close friends die due to alcoholism, I’m not so relaxed about that.

I was pretty freaked out when I walked through Friedrichshafen on a holiday trip and people sat there on the shore of Bodensee and drank beer at like 8am.
