Hungary’s pro-Kremlin leader Viktor Orban takes over the rotating presidency of the European Council on July 1, just weeks after fellow nationalist and populist parties surged across the bloc in European polls. Hungarian diplomats have promised a “normal” presidency over the coming six months, while experts note that the role carries limited powers. But Orban’s choice of slogan for the job suggests the EU’s serial provocateur is unlikely to shun the spotlight.
Fuck fascists, and they are never original either, aren’t they.
They don’t have to be, the people following them are idiots.
I’d even say they can’t be, their followers need politics boiled down to a catchphrase or else they’ll get confused
I am fairly sure there are pretty intelligent supporters of fast-right leaders (too). And I think there are two angles here: One is how much you let irrational fears and bad instincts take ahold of you, the other is whether you are going out for personal gain.
Oh is Hungary leaving Europe? That’d be pretty great.
Eh, Vik? Europe is already great. It’s your shitehole that isn’t ya fuckin knobend
Could you cut pleasantries like “shitehole”/“knobend”/… on this community, please? I know Orban is not the most likable person, but there is no point in random incivility — it only kills the mood here.
(I respond to you but I mean the 4? other people doing the same in this thread as well.)
No.
He can’t see further than the board in front of his head.
(There’s a German saying which translates to having a board in front of their head that and means that someone’s slow on the uptake)
