@endomorph We're trying but the government is ass, the opposition is weak, and people in countryside are brainwashed by public TV. I honestly lost faith in democracy in this country.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's not your fault! Honestly, I find myself losing faith as well. Democracy is in danger all across Europe; ours is starting to get cracks too, and lots of citizens are voting for the fucks that are actively trying to undermine everything that's common sense and important for a peaceful future. But your country/government, sadly, seems to be in the lead for the race to fascism in the EU. I can but hope that the people will wake up before it's too late and violence'll ravage all that is precious!
