Man, Hungary has already implemented this law with the reduction of gathering rights. The government was campaigning along the lines of speeding past Europe... I guess they weren't lying.

I guess I am happy to see other countries facing similar threats, if only to realize that many Hungarians are just people like them, barely able to do anything in the face of such coordinated attacks.

In Hungary it is more about 'inside enemies' than weeding out migrants. That propaganda doesn't work anymore, because the government needs to bring in extra workers from the far east, as nobody local is willing to work for such wages.

Stay on your toes and place your hate in the right place, if you need to hang onto it. They make it sound nationalistic, but I think it's just plain old class war.

Just put on some moosic.

Let's start with feces, John Wayne.

Only being used because someone is paying you to do it, then snuffed out after an extended death throe.

I will copyright some schematics so everyone can enjoy the thrill of piracy to really drive the point home.

Naw, you're right. There are still ways to get a decent windows experience, but it will fall to the domain of power users.

I personally see MS not really caring about their windows users. With more than enough revenue from enterprise to keep them going for decades, they will lose grip on gamers and older casual users, who remember windows before the marketplace and preinstalled adware.

With all the flavors of Linux (and a proper walled garden like Apple), I'm thinking Windows will follow Skype in the next decade or so.

Just based on all the usual hashing between EU and Hungary, this is closer to a stern look than tying funds to rule of law, if you take that as a spectrum.

In a twisted way, I feel that these abusive laws will only quicken the downslide of the Fidesz regime. One of the main reasons they are still kicking aroubd is that they are magnificent in non-confrontational control. Any and all protests so far, the popo were super hands off. They had civil uniform police who would get a bit handsy, but I'm not sure they were police or just the private army of the government (Valton security).

So with all that in mind, if police start getting heavily involved in the protests, my money is on agression levels rising. While it's horrible for the people, the government will lose any last remaining bit legitimacy they have.

I really hope it doesn't come to full-on aggressive confrontation. There's a pretty decent chance Fidesz will lose their supermajority next year through the remaining, heavily kneecapped democratic institutions we have left. Exciting times.

By not switching to Na based batteries and keeping a lid on Li mining.

Emlékszem én is a 2. kétharmadra. Nagyon sokan voltunk csalódottak a szabadság téren... De lehet már a harmadikkal keverem.

Én is már annyira ki vagyok ábrándulva, h csak 1 szavazatot fogok leadni a Tiszának.. Azért picit még izgulok 🤞

Civiles, Oktogonos bajszos szar/ goa tüntisori? Majdnem adtam interjút, de túl nehéz kérdést raktak fel.

Szerintem nincs nagyon olyan, h okos tüntetés. A ventelés és a nemtetszés kifejezésének az eszköze. Én sem akarnám, h a Tisza-MKKP nagykoalíció adjon egy fikarcnyit a majdani békemeneteseknek.

Vicces, h még átlépett vonalakban gondolkodom, de gyanítom, h Orbán nem tud a szokásos piszkos (de elfogadott) fegyvereivel győzni, és a nyomáshelyzés/manipuláció csalássá fajul. Pl az a kopaszos népszavaztatás a boltzárról, vagy mi volt. Ha erőszakos eszközökkel manipulálják a választást (a számok hamisítását is beleértve), gyanítom, h emelkedni fog a tüntések aggresszivitása.

A vétóban is pont azt taglalták, h ki lesznek faradva. Amúgy nem aggódnék túlzottan a gyülekezési törvény felkoncolásán. Átlépik a pontot, és sok gyerektelen harmincasnak kb mindegy lesz, h böri vagy a hónapról hónapra maszatolás.

Gyanítom, h kb most alakulunk át vmiféle tudatosabb, polgáribb társadalomba. Ha elkezdik elvinni az embereket, vagy rátriplázunk, vagy elvérzünk. Kár lenne most visszafordulni.

But they had a good run. God knows I stayed with windows thanks to my skype account being accepted. But even those day are bygone.

Elég izgi. Remélem kitart a lelkesedés a választásokig.

'Just feeling curious'

I wanted to point out that this feeling is not exclusive to women, then I thought better of it.

Good comic!

Maybe the time is right for a 3rd party to rise?

They're just slow to realize.

No, it's purely distraction and building more support. A power play, if you will. It is the 15th time Fidesz has modified (unilaterally) the Hungarian constitution that they wrote about 15 years back.

With the same stroke they are also enshrining that drugs are bad and for some reason, the right to use cash. Alternatively many opposition politician's have had their immunity revoked. And personally a scary one, dual citizens can lose citizenship for reasons.

As for the anti-gay sentiment. In the capital I would say it's not a thing, but two guys holding hands walking down an empty street could get accosted. In smaller cities I've noticed that being openly gay is tolerated, but frowned upon. I'm sure the propaganda brainwashed many, there were plenty of haters to begin with anyway. Kids use gay and fag about the same way as Cartman from South Park.

The mayor of Budapest is still planning on hosting the Pride festival this year.

Get BMW, Audi & Mercedes to suspend activities. While the EU is still reaping the benefits of a worsening forint, it rings hollow that they wouldn't have influence. Even closing the funds (tying it to rule of law) has had a positive effect, the regime seems to ve feeling it. It feels more and more that it's all about the cashflow and sating interests.

The problem is the people in the EU have as much control over this phenomenon as an average opposition voter in Hungary.

In case anyone not familiar with Hungary's political structure: 'governing party set to push' can be transcribed to goverment single-sidedly overwriting the constitution again.

We had a few protests along the lines, but it feels like the the whole country is holding it's breath till next April (elections).
