    Viktor fucking POS Orban steps down with more dignity after 16 years than our own home grown dictator wannabe did after 4. What a timeline to be alive in.

    On the one hand, his ideology is more or less identical to Orban’s (he used to be a Fidesz party member until two tears ago).

    On the other hand, he is somewhat EU friendly, supports Ukraine and, most importantly, is the head of a different party. 16 years of Fidesz rule is over. That’s not nothing.

      Fidesz (Orban):

      • Ideology: Christian Nationalism, Illiberalism, Authoritarianism, National Conservatism, Right-wing Populism
      • Political position: Far-right

      Tisza (Magyar):

      • Ideology: Conservative Liberalism, Populism, Pro-Europeanism
      • Political position: Centre to centre-right

      I’ve heard this angle before, but these parties don’t seem to be in any way identical.

      Oh fucking please. Fidesz got hammered by corruption scandals in 2024, Magyar dramatically breaks from the party over corruption, and somehow builds a massive nationwide coalition in a matter of months? The Hungarian opposition somehow abandons all its beliefs and rallies around a politician who holds all Orban’s political views?

      The term for this is “planned opposition”.

      Magyar isn’t Orban’s rival. He’s Orban’s chosen successor.

      It’s easy to win an election if you own all the candidates.

      And y’all fell for it.

          Yes now we’ll finally be able to give all our money to the people that bribed von der leyen. Maybe even do a draft so we can send our youth to die there. How glorious will it be?

        Conspiracy smugness - I love it. I wonder what the technical term for that is.

        Tisza already announced a pro-Europe course and who has to gain most of that - Ukraine, but since Orban can’t cut ties with Russia without falling out a window it was indeed a planned a opposition conspiracy by Orban that got taken over by Ukrainian intelligence which in turn is lead by the French DGSE, to get eastern Europe out of the Russian sphere.

        So basically you fell for one of the oldest tricks the French intelligence services deploy since Napoleon. If you take over the man behind the man (in this case Selensky) you can’t lose and no one can trace it back to you.

        NB: Ex falso, quod libet.

        All that matter to me as a .world genocide supporter is that now we can send our youth to die in ukraine to own the tankies.

        Coz I’m very afraid of Putin while sitting in my comfy chair in Toronto .

        Also yes i smell like rotten semen. I have a secret stash of dick cheese under my foreskin
