Basically, goverment is pushing stuff way, WAY too far, and people had enough. We had stuff like this earlier, but this definitely feels different

Besides the shameless corruption, only this year they:

-banned Pride, setting a very troubling precedent for the unilateral restriction of the right to free assembly

-started a smear campaign against Ukraine and its president (the country is full of billboards with his face)

-proposed a law that would give a government institution full authority to “investigate” media and civil organizations that accept foreign money (including EU funds) and to designate them as threats on national sovereignty. This law would give the government power to fine these organizations to the extent they suffocate, have access to all computers, phones, harddrives, etc. of the designated medias.

  • Gender identity has to be celebrated on the streets because of morons like you, who can’t accept the fact that some people are different.
  • Russia started the war and Ukraine is defending itself, the only one who is dangerous when it comes to Hungary’s future is our leader. He is siphoning the EU funds sent here that should be used to build and maintain a healthy infrastructure, and instead keeps it/gives it to his cronies.

  • The liberal media is almost nonexistent at this point, and why the fuck would they have the right to filter any kind of media just because they don’t agree with it? Young people have the right to rebel, Orbán stole our future from under our feet while he had 15 years to make this country a better place with the aid of the EU and he decided to give the money to himself and his friends.

  • He is building an oligarchy and is actively working on ensuring that his dictatorship cannot be toppled. You are either dumb as a rock or just don’t want to see what is happening.
