The Hayek Club Weimar described socialism as a beneficial business model for politicians. State benefits and subsidies created dependency and thus secured voter support, the account wrote. Politicians would thereby become suppliers and citizens clients. In contrast, capitalism posed a threat to the political class, argued the Hayek Club Weimar, because it rewarded personal responsibility, innovation, and private initiative, making people more independent of the state. Regulations intended to tame the market served, according to the account, to limit competition and protect established interests. The account also accused politicians of portraying capitalism as unjust and antisocial while presenting the state as a moral authority. The state did not want free individuals but dependent subjects, wrote the Hayek Club Weimar, linking its criticism to calls for freedom and property as well as a rejection of taxes and state coercion. #FreiheitstattKnechtschaft #SteuernsindRaub #Eigentum #Freiheit #ParasitenwegmitEuremZwang #Freiheit #Kapitalismus #Sozialismus (translated)
Eva Selsing wrote that she did not see it as a problem that the left was critical of B.T.'s conservative profile. On the contrary, she believed that praise from left-leaning politicians and commentators would be a cause for concern, as it could indicate that the media had deviated from its conservative line. She argued that B.T.'s direct conservatism scared a left that had had a significant influence on media debate for decades. According to Selsing, the left only supported conservative viewpoints it could control, and the more subdued conservatism had followed the left's norms of shaming, censorship, and cancellation. She wrote that this type of conservatism had dominated the Danish media landscape until a few years ago, and that the situation still prevailed outside of B.T. Selsing believed that B.T.'s success was partly due to the media offering conservative perspectives and analyses that the readers and viewers, according to her, could not find elsewhere. She criticized other media for presenting uniform headlines and analyses and for expressing outrage over differing opinions. She wrote that actors with interests in conformity and censorship therefore reacted strongly to B.T., and that she would be more concerned if they did not. #Borgerlighed #MedieDebat #Ytringsfrihed (translated)

Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that he had appeared for the first time on Jornal Nacional and emphasized that, according to him, many people stopped voting in the first round because of the long lines. He said that voting would be faster and the lines smaller, and he asked people to talk to others and help elderly family members get to polling places, an effort he deemed essential for victory. Manoel also said that, like Brizola, he advocated for the democratization of communication in Brazil and fought against what he called the monopoly of radio, television, and the internet by a few families. #JornalNacional #Democracia #Eleições2023 (translated)
Robert Ágh stated that a campaign in the style of Jan Grolich was not suitable for him given his age. However, he credited Grolich with the fact that the absurdity of his campaign disrupted the monopoly of the ANO movement on political kitsch. Ágh also wrote that the person he referred to with a derogatory nickname was, in his view, upset, and Grolich labeled her campaign as a pathetic carnival amateurism. #politika #kampaň #kritika (translated)

He claimed that in six years the problem would be gone, and currently, doctors can choose from available options.

Political Analysis wrote that a victory for Flávio Bolsonaro would be bad for the non-Bolsonaro right, as, according to the author, the left would monopolize the opposition, as it did during Jair Bolsonaro's government. It also stated that with Lula in power, Flávio, Eduardo, and Jair would become ineligible, which would open space for a broader contest on the right. #PolíticaBrasil #Direita #Eleições2024 (translated)

Alvis Hermanis wrote that the electoral system proposed by MMN would allow at least 30 Kulbergs and another 30 people, whom he considered smarter than Kulberg, to be elected to parliament, and the prohibition on the combination of offices would be lifted. He stated that the people he represented had focused on the causes of problems rather than their consequences. Hermanis pointed out that in the last six months, MMN had helped change the political agenda of Latvia, with changes in state governance rules or "general cleaning" becoming a significant topic in the parties' rhetoric. He claimed that the ideas of MMN had become the main content of Kulberg's nightly video self-films, adding that Kulberg had admitted to Domburs that AS did not have its own program. He expressed satisfaction that MMN's ideas were being utilized and hoped that Kulberg would succeed in implementing the movement's political program. Hermanis believed he could have done it better himself, but he also assessed this opportunity as acceptable. He also wrote that the JV/Pro monopoly had been broken and the state had regained hope of recovery. At the same time, Hermanis expressed concerns about immigration, as Kulberg supported the import of low-skilled labor, which he believed would become an existential threat in the long term. He said that Rinkēvičs should return to live with his mother, accusing him of subjecting the entire nation to security risks during the war and appointing Sprūds and Siliņa to responsible positions so that he could live in a palace himself. Hermanis added that they had been lucky, but everything was not yet over, and thanked the supporters of MMN, saying that they had at least tried. #politika #Latvija #demokrātija (translated)
