    Hungary was one of the axis powers and a major contributor to the holocaust. If you know about Salo as the Italian fascists were being defeated, Hungary was basically Salo but the entire country.

    The Soviets and Hungarian communists should have pursued a much more vigorous policy of denazification, it shouldnt be possible for this haunting evil to be reemerging under Orban. I think about 25000 Hungarians were convicted under nuremburg trials or something, probably shouldve been higher.

    I love that Rod Dreher told all the ghouls that Hungary is heaven on earth and now they all are lining up.

    Few weeks ago we had Tucker Carlson, now Mike Pence cried about muh white christians dying (and also calling on Orbán to help the fight against China which is hilarious) and this.

    Western studies sleep on Hungary and treat it like some little addition to the balkans (also Russia in their heads) rather than any kind of major player in Europe.

      I mean, has it actually been a major player beyond the 16th Century? My understanding is that it's spent its existence since as an Austrian subject, then a supposedly-equal partner, then an on-off Secondary Power in Eastern Europe, at most. Pardon my ignorance if I'm leaving something out.

        It was a hotbed of revolutionary energy during 1848 and was able to bully the Hapsburgs into renaming it the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Vienna wasn't exactly at its peak anymore, but it's still a baller power move. Plus Hunagarian composers from the 19th century are 🔥🔥🔥.

    To be fair, Hungary sucks. Fascists having a conference in a fascist shithole isn't shocking tho.

    Hahahaha, Mr. Chapo, and yet another chess piece falls into place. You thought I had been defeated because I fell into silence? Do not be so hasty next time, Mr. Chapo, for as you know, I, GORKA, am an unparalleled master of the posting arts. As I have said before Mr. Chapo, we are now locked into the great game of our time, and, Mr. Chapo, it will not be so easily won.

    I already have your website infiltrated. My Silver Legion awaits my command on your eastern front. And now, Mr. Chapo, the resurgent American right, and the Vitezi Rend, OF THE MAGYAR HUN, have united, as lost friends, and Mr. Chapo, we will not spare any of your most beloved Bolshevik cultural figures. Not Sponge Bob, not Darkwing Duck, and surely not that most insipid hegemonic aardvark, Arthur. All of your beloved animated figures will perish, unable to withstand the might of the dragon of Budapest.

    Mr. Chapo, there is now little you can do, for by the time you catch up on the chess board in front of us, I will have already unfolded a game of backgammon, and Mr. Chapo, you will soon find that we have been gammoning this entire time! Your Saturday mornings will be forever changed! No more will leftist pajama boy cultural Marxism rule our televisions! Wile E Coyote will finally catch the Road Runner! Tom will finally catch Jerry! And, Mr. Chapo, Elmer Fudd, that bastion of conservative rugged individualism, will finally catch - and kill - Mr. Bugs Bunny. And what will you do then, when all of your cartoon heroes have perished? Who will you look to then? No one! THE DRAGON OF BUDAPEST RISES, MR. CHAPO, AS YOUR CARTOON HEROES ARE SLAIN! HAIL GORKA, HAIL TRUMP, HAIL THE VITEZI REND, HAIL VICTORY!
