Call for protest or resistance against the EU chat controlStop Chat Control

Rally of June 14, 2023 on the occasion of the conference of interior ministers in Berlin against chat control to save the secrecy of correspondence.

Class conflict and its cultural expressionThe mystery of 'populism' finally unveiled

Viktor Orbán (Bálna, Budapest, Hungary).
The philosopher of post-Fascism enters the populism fray with his own candidate for post-truth – Left betrayal.

At the bicentennial, the consecrated and anointed masterpiece of popular historiography described the French – and implicitly, the recent East European – revolution thus.mehr...
