Na zdraví to the patch.
They patch serious political discussion (which they love) with absurdist meme culture (which they need). They laugh at the government in the pub, then go home to watch Kancelář Blaník (a political satire) on YouTube. Is the "Czech 30 patched lifestyle and entertainment" sustainable?

This is the story of how a generation in the Czech Republic is stitching together sanity, fun, and survival. Forget the image of the cheap Czech beer at 35 CZK per pint. Those days are patched out of existence. The 30-year-old Czech today faces inflation rates that have gnawed away at the crown’s purchasing power. Na zdraví to the patch
