Like ten years ago I uploaded a ton of election spots ripped from TV to YouTube, among them one of Mr. Cibulka / Pravý blok. To this day I get the occasional notification that he himself had commented on the video with some fresh public announcement because apparently this video with triple digit views is a major part of his PR platform.
Did it have The Pendulum For Psychotronically Recognizing Russian Agents?

Right. I like "Amy Adams přijela do Prahy", but definitely go with "Nový film s Amy Adamsovou" for other cases.
Well, the real problem with that one comes with Russian names ending in =ov. Sports commentators have been caling the tennis player "Anna Kournikovová" for years and it never got not grating.

The people who presented the resolution are, however, entrapped by corruption scandals and I don’t think it’s unfair to say that the government is seen as mostly weak at the moment.
It's less "weak" than "actively antisocial". The corruption is neither here or there, every single post-89 government was corrupt to the bone, we're used to that poo poo. The current government is very openly and unabashedly ran exclusively by rich assholes for rich assholes and lives on being propped up by the lack of credible opposition and city liberals brainwashed into supporting it by constant repetition of the mantra that anything to the left of Hitler is communism. Either way, their support is dwindling and we can most likely look forward to living in an ANO/SPD-ran fascist chickenocracy.

I'm not bitter about this in the slightest.

The Czech Republic has elected Petr Pavel, former head of the NATO Military Committee, as its president, beating former PM Andrej Babiš 58:42 :toot: Clearly this infiltration of civilian power by the military is further proof that homonazi corruption has given the Bohemian scoundrels an insatiable bloodlust.
What it's really proof of is that we just got a president who'll happily help out whatever nonsense austerity scheme the current government comes up with.

Don't get me wrong, he's obviously a better option than Babiš, but I somehow can't muster any enthusiasm about adding yet another right-wing conservative to a system dominated by right-wing conservatives, so we can all pretend everything's well with the world while healthcare and social services collapse around us.

Yeah, agree on that. Honestly, the ideal solution would be to abolish the office altogether, but that's obviously not gonna happen - kicking them out of the Castle would be a pretty good start. Might make the people realize the president is an official, not a bloody king.

Czechs are the guys who came out very much on top when the Berlin Wall fell, a better version of what happened to Poland.

They of course did that by being nationalist and xenofobic as gently caress, as Czechoslovakia dividing in half was due to economic disparities and "lol, sort out your gypsy problem yourself" from the Czech side.

Legal weed tho...
Funny, and here I thought Mečiar was using the Slovakian nationalism to justify a change that'd give him a fair bit more power.

We have a clique of political gun nuts but that's mostly because arms manufacturing is one of the bigger industries here. Couple years ago, there was a constitution amendment that guarantees "the right to defend one's life with firearm in hand is guaranteed within legal circumstances" which was really little less than a bone thrown to the gun lobby and a slap in the face to those eeeevil European bureaucrats.

That being said, change is pretty unlikely - there's a pretty strong anti-EU current in the opposition that would immediately jump on the "one isolated case" being used as an excuse to cull their civil liberties so gun control is a pretty iffy political move.

There's also the fact that the previous government they voted for (which explicitly stood against Fico and his brand of "social democracy") turned out to be bugfuck insane so they went back to the devil they knew.

I love how Czech word for loudspeaker is the same as Polish word for breeder. (reproduktor)
Czech and Polish are chock-full of false friends; trying to speak one while coming from the other is like walking through a minefield. Hell, probably the most well-known example of this is that the innocuous Polish word for "to search" sounds exactly like Czech "to gently caress".
