> Knowing nothing about it this particular movement

It's a pity this disclaimer cannot be made to serve as a header for about 99% of the comments here today, because, holy shit...

You can take what you see here and extrapolate. HN is overwhelmingly "intellectuals" - many academics, though not all. We can see:

* Everyone is quick to make judgement on something they don't know all the details of.

* There's not much agreement - mostly people disagreeing with each other.

* Everyone's opinion is important - they're smart so obviously, they're always right.

* Unrelated politics - my pet issue must be talked about.

* Anything is better - it's impossible for things to get worse.

* I disagree with this opinion so it must be a Russian bot.

Anyway, I wonder what will happen if you get together a bunch of intellectuals in government.

		> * Everyone is quick to make judgement on something they don't know all the details of. > [snip] I don't know how large the HN reader base is, but at the time of writing there are 309 comments on this story. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the HN reader base is quite likely significantly larger than 309 people, presumably by several orders of magnitude. As such, the vast majority of readers ("overwhelmingly intellectuals") have indeed decided not to make a any judgement on this thing they don't know all the details of.

		While in absolute terms things can almost always get worse. Situation has been so bad with Vučić and his political party SNS - systematic corruption, private profiteering with iron grip on media and legislation, security services... etc. So in that sense - even doing nothing would probably turn out better than continuing with the previous levels of intentional corruption. And while there might be some things done by previous government that (accidentally) turned out good and are worth keeping. For a lot of things (e.g. various institutions that lost their independence in the last ~20 years) - the rough WIP roadmap/plan can be as simple as "Undo or do the opposite from what the previous government did".
