I've said it before. What we have seen in the UK since Oct 7 is a lurch towards authoritarianism because the government is committed to materially and diplomatically supporting a genocide, and is utterly captured by the Israel lobby. It's really that simple. #Authoritarianism #IsraelLobby #Genocide #UK #IS

Some think I’m just highlighting the excesses of the liberal-authoritarian @magyarpeterMP regime in Budapest because I live here. But the reality is that, as this behaviour becomes normalised, it will spread across the EU. A centralised Brussels ruling over local autocrats. 🇪🇺 #Budapest #EU #Authoritarianism #HU #EU

This is key. People called Trump “authoritarian” but when he won both times he accepted the power given to him and worked within it. True autocrats like @magyarpeterMP want TOTAL power and will settle for no less. These are genuinely dangerous “leaders” in a Western system. 🇭🇺 #Trump #Authoritarianism #Leadership #HU

Things are starting to get ugly in Hungary. The new Prime Minister came to power denouncing his predecessor as an authoritarian. Yet after winning a democratic election and inheriting full executive authority, his focus is not on governing but on acquiring even more power. For #Hungary #Politics #Authoritarianism #HU

The much-benighted “saviour of Hungarian democracy” has turned out to be an authoritarian huckster who is trying to overthrow the Hungarian constitutional order by threatening people.

Imagine getting into government and one of your first actions which involves extremely suspicious asset freezes ends up screwing up your ability to hold the UEFA final. A serious authoritarian regime wouldn’t do this. It’s clown authoritarianism. 🇭🇺🤣 #Authoritarianism #UEFAFinal #Hungary #HU

I am sort of impressed with Anne Applebaum’s “How To” guide describing how you create low-trust authoritarian systems in democratic countries from a technical economic perspective. BUT creating these regimes will have a detrimental effect on the economy as we are now seeing. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/o3PZWU6XcE #Authoritarianism #Economy #Democracy #HU

As a Moscow correspondent, I took this photo in Moscow in October 1993. The poster reads: “We are Russians - God is with us.” A day later, Russia stood on the brink of civil war. At the cost of bloodshed, the authoritarian vertical of presidential power was restored. https://t.co/PtIY3NdIGS #Moscow1993 #CivilWar #Authoritarianism #RU

It's truly horrifying just how far some countries have descended into unreason and authoritarianism when it comes to speaking the truth about the two sexes. This will go very dark places indeed. #Authoritarianism #Truth #GenderEquality #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

18–20 September 2026: Russia stages another “election” without free media, real opposition or rule of law. We have seen this before. In September 2000, Milošević also believed propaganda, fear and nationalism were enough to stay in power forever. Weeks later, his regime https://t.co/AA0QH1JW7S #RussiaElections #Authoritarianism #FreeMedia #RU #RS
