It is, but at the same time it happens very often. Was it half or 1/3 of all US presdents died by being shot? And most of those were not actively trying to destroy their own country and any international relations it had.

Might have, but that doesnt contradict the comment. The just stated a fact that doesnt make any assumptions onhow well other systems could work.

Dont engage. OP just finished their first book and feels enlightened so anyone disagreeing with their newly acquired knowledge is a fool.

Because OP is out of touch with reality.

Oh, thanks^^

I dont get it. What does seaward mean and is it not pronounced as sea-ward?

From what Ive seen and heard of him, he will fight the Orban-induced corruption with all his power, which is very much in the interest of the people. Hopefully he doesnt build his own corrupt system, but we will see how it turns out.

Not literal. Just like fixing a friends bike for a few slices of pizza is not ‘literally’ running a bike shop. Mutually exchanging favors can just be a win-win, and it can be very close to prostitution depending on the involved peoples mindset.

Pretty sure Lemmy is very anti-nationalist on average

I think most people (including Hungarians) are confronted with US news through the internet and through other people who use the internet, even involuntarily. At least the Hungarians I know have heard about a lot of shit Trump and his minions are doing. On the other hand, Hungarian news are not that prominent on the internet, so you would have to actively search for it, which most probably dont do because they watch TV already.

I used to think that, but the thing is people who dont actively vote AfD absolutely despise them, so CDU doing a coalition with them would probably cost them like 80% lf their voters for future elections. If they are willing to risk that, they better prepare the fascist takeover together with AfD or theyre fucked. I hope they know that and act accordingly.

I am pretty much convinced that the US’ involvement in the election had an adverse effect and actually cost Orbán many votes. I think many Hungarians dont make an effort to research reliable news (Hungarian media was controlled by Orbán) and supported him because hes nationalist af which is the most important value for most Hungarians. But when people see US politicians who actively destroy their own country and are the laughing stock of the whole world vouch for Orbán, maybe that triggered some ‘wait a minute’ moment.

I dont know if you know him personally to be able to judge him like that but from his public appearances so far that doesnt seem to be the case. I dont know what you would expect to happen? Some brain washing pills dissolved in the drinking water so hungarians stop being conservative? Changing a whole nation led by propaganda for decades doesnt happen overnight. Magyar is pretty much the best anyone could have hoped for in this election.

How is democratically getting rid of a pro-putin pro-Trump wannabe dictator a good thing? Gee, not sure

Depends on what the good thing is. If people want me celebrating that Trump didnt start or escalate a war for a whole month theyre out of luck

Thats the standard for good things happening now? Ouff…

“Even CSpan can’t make that sound normal,” the Late Show host said.

I was wondering for a second if Colbert had dies…

Ouch. MAGA hurt itself in its confusion.

Where did the gloves go?
