it is incredibly important to have a state media apparatus that is robust and covers all facets of life, so that INCREDIBLY STUPID PEOPLE DONT HAVE PLATFORMS. like holy fucking shit, on live national tv theyre saying you should confront people who wear masks like theyre the devil! i am 100% down for communist brainwashing at this point. nothing else will work, you just have to tell the stupid people whats what and offer no other opinions. if you dont have a media apparatus, your society will become absolutely unhinged. i want there to be 200 communist tv broadcasts constantly blaring propaganda to drown out any dumbass remarks being made

          i like czechia its kinda close to how we pronounce our country, and czech republic is a big mouthful. and calling it czecho would be weird in english

          we would just constantly use the czech name for it which is Česko before

                  like if our country ended with an a in our language i think itd work in english, like Česká republika is our country name, but Ceska is an adjective so like, it would work in english if it wasnt an adjective? i think czechia is the way to go. alternative i guess could be czechland or something but czechia has less german connotation to it

                      most country names have an o at the end for czech, so like poland is Polsko. Germany is Nemecko. Austria is Rakousko. Scotland is Skotsko. Greece is Recko. there are a couple of outliers, england is Anglie and France is Francie.

                              i wish my grandma taught me all the languages she knew when i was a kid... she knows english, german, polish, czech, slovak, and hungarian, all more or less fluently. though she said she hates speaking hungarian the most, she has a grudge

                                  yeah she kinda just doesnt talk about why she hates speaking hungarian now. she did a lot of language teaching in her 20s and 30s because she lived in a lot of mixed communities

            tbh loud voices in Czechia have been saying shit like that for years and our excellent Roma agitprop resident has it covered either way :)

        its weird. its not particularly hard to get a gun there, CZ is a very big manufacturer and employs a lot of people. you can also get CZs quite a bit cheaper there than in america. czechia has what is essentially a 'right to bear arms' amendment to our constitution though it isnt as wide ranging as in america

        still harder to get a gun there than in most places in america. the EU is all angsty about czechia's gun laws too because theres an illegal gun trade that is centered around czechia
