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
