We're making history!!(and not in a good way)steemCreated with Sketch.

I am living right now in Romania, was actually born and raised here. It's a beautiful country, full of nature, mountains, with really cheap prices for really good quality and of course very nice people(in some parts). This is what's beautiful, now we get to the bad side which outgrows the good one.

We don't have much money, we do have cheap prices like I've said, but we still can't afford them. A lot of people here have 2-3 jobs to have a decent lifestyle(without to many holidays) and still struggle.

The problem is the leadership here is really bad for us the people. I mean right now they're trying to input the laws that taking a bribe for another is legal and also giving bribe to a person for another person is legal. Basically making bribe legal and they've made this decision because some of them have been caught bribing.
Now that's just plain stupid and it is actually the last drop, because this year has been one of the shittiest because of the leaders of this country, from the beginning 'til now.

Problem is, being holidays and all, no one gives a damn, or at least not so many people pay attention and this sort of thing makes them think that they are all so powerful. A bad way to end the year to be honest.

What can be done here I'm asking?

Sort:  

I fear the only chance we have is to wait them out, most of the old commie-crooks are old, they've got a few decades left, at the most, during which they'll bleed the country dry and leave it in ashes. But when they're gone, it'll be up to us to pick up the pieces and rebuild, striving in a new direction, one that we can be proud to leave a heritage for our descendants, so they won't live with our shame, with our burden.
Voting them out won't work, it never does. The educational system was ruined purposefully to create malleable idiots, and poverty is maintained so that there will always be need of a generous hand around election day, to promise a glorious future.

An alternative, one with slim chances of succes, would be a propaganda war. Mock them, belittle them, turn them into caricatures so sinister that even their dumbest supporter would think twice about voting for them again. Because just revealing the truth isn't enough, the truth is out there, they're all thieves and traitors, but no one cares. Ingrain it in culture, spread it to the lowest common denominator and hope it has some effect.

Most of all, there's a line that needs to be crossed for something to change, and it's a line that no sensible person would cross or should cross. Because although it would remove them, it would signal an age where that is how things work, and the rule of law will be over. We can't have another December '89 and have the world look at us like civilized people anymore. But as time goes on, it seems like the only choice we have.
