My wife and I happened to be in Budapest at the same time Dave filmed this. Aside from the fact that Budapest is far more beautiful than any city that spent 45 years behind the Iron Curtain has any right to expect, he's absolutely correct about how stable and normal everything is while still being open, friendly and laid back. And they have a coffee shop dedicated to Roger Scruton, which was uplifting to see. Having been to London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich, Prague, Vienna and Amsterdam, I can say without a doubt that Budapest is my favorite European city (Prague being a close second). Great people. Beautiful city.

BS there isn't a formula. A simple no is effective when this Marxist trash hasn't been allowed to creep slowly into every institution. Once it's in a very strategic no it's required. There are 3 very important elements of the strategy. 1) expose it as quickly as possible forcing them to hasten their agenda further exposing them. 2) Non violent non compliance 3) Sabotage and undermine every attempt to implement this stuff. If you can, do it covertly. This allows you to stick around and do more damage.

My parents warned me, and later my Hungarian relatives abroad ( when I would visit them in Pest ), were always imploring me to move back, or get married to a Hungarian woman...they made me constantly aware of the authoritarian ideology unfolding in the west, and how feminism, and wokism, was destroying morality, creating divisions and subverting peoples identity.

As an outsider who has visited Hungary a few times, the one thing that was unmentioned is that Hungary is, in essence, an "outsider" culture. Hungary is not like its neighbors. They speak a language that is completely different from their neighbors or anyone else in Europe. (Finnish is not all that close to Hungarian.) Even their names are different: they use the Asian naming convention where the family name comes first. No one else in Europe does that. They've been on the losing end of the major world wars, which means they've been punished severely when they've gone along with their European neighbors. They still remember being occupied by Moslem conquerors (in their case, the Ottoman Turks), an experience no one to the north or west in Europe share (except Spain, but they've forgotten). It's no shock, given their history, that Hungarians do not aspire to be mindless euro-drones. It's one of the main things I love about Hungary It's also a great place to visit for reasons that have zero to do with politics.

I'm a Hungarian. Orban is a jackboot oligarch, no lie. In fact, he built a mafia that's now channeling money to himself and his friends at every opportunity. There's corruption in every country, but here it is at insane levels. Health and educational systems are crumbling. More than 50% of young people imagine their future somewhere else, just not here. That tells lot. There is no future in this country, unless you are part of the mafia. If you have the stomach to leech on the poor. Orban certainly has no issues with it.

Please do not be fooled. This dude here is in Budapest. Do you know how different Bp is from the rest of the country? Oh- of course not.

Yes, Orbán stopped a migrant crisis and is not on woke bs, but as you said, he is a jackboot oligarch who stole every single penny from it's country's citizens. He made his middle school bestie the richest man, ffs, purely for shits and giggles. He doesn't care about the condition his precious little hungarian people live in, he only cares that he and his buddies can get richer and richer. Come, live in the countryside for 3 years, you'll see how it really is. And btw, migrants? Forget about callin them that, it's "guest workers". Yes, Orbán did that. Called in thousands of aisan "guest workers" for the factories n stuff, they're all over Budapest, you just have to glance. Orbán is not okay.

Hungarian here. Those reading this from abroad: my message is a Hungarian saying: The fence isn't made of sausages. To be clear: I've watched the whole video. I'm a conservative. Even though I might agree with some of Orbán's policies, what are missing from this video: 1. Hungary became the second poorest country in the EU during his "leadership". 2. Corruption in the country is high. US ranks (according to transparency international) 24/180 (lower is better), Hungary ranks 76/180. 3. National healthcare (we pay significant amount of taxes, as well as our employers to the healthcare system!) is in ruins. Imagine having to wait 3-5 months to see a specialist or healing in a hospital with no toilet paper and soap, watching the mold grow on the walls of the hospital where plaster broke off a decade ago. 4. The education system is in ruins. Average teacher earns less than an employee in a supermarket. 5. The Hungarian Forint's inflation was over 17% in 2023. Food items' inflation was 25.9%. The list could go on, such as gasoline shortages after introducing price caps, or listing the in progress EU investigations against Hungary due to serious shortcoming in the judicial system and use of EU funds.

I first went to Hungary in 1989. studied there in 1994 and 1999. Been back repeatedly since for work. I felt in the early 90s, and I have been proven correct since, that Hungary has a real role to play in our future. I gleaned from the people I met - even younger students - that there is a national imperative to protect. In the middle ages they were a bulwark against the ottomans. They fought the soviets directly in their Revolution. And now they are a bulwark against the insane “wokeism” that is spreading like a cancer from Brussels, Zurich/Davos, and Washington DC. I don’t agree with the statement on DeSantis. As Governor he’s great but his presidential backers are fully subservient to the ESG/Woke agenda.

[@aszechy]

Hungarian here, I like and vote for Orbán but the level of praise you heaped on him was a bit too much even for me. Wouldn't canonise the man just yet 😊 On a serious note, the problem is that we are a small country with relentless pressure heaped upon us to conform to the progressive canon (the EU obviously, witholding funds we are entitled to for political reasons, your very own ambassador, not to mention the soft power in the form of Soros-sponsored NGOs, Netflix, corporate diversity training sessions etc.) All we need is to lose 1-2 elections and the floodgates for migration, gender nonsense etc.will be thrown open. So ultimately, I feel it's very much up to you guys in the US to turn the tide of wokeness around before it consumes everybody. Thank you for showcasing my country, hope you have a great time!

The thing I feel that for so many leaders of Western countries is the shame they feel for their country and culture. I also feel there's a massive dishonesty amongst our leaders. The distrust and dissatisfaction that people feel towards the traditional parties was most obvious in the recent local elections in England, when the turnout was only about 23 per cent. I feel that no mainstream party speaks for ordinary people. On every major issue, and particularly immigration there's no discernable difference, and that's why Western leaders and media hate Orban. He genuinely cares for his people, his country, and his culture.

Also important to mention than pre-Covid and post-Covid Hungary continues to grow strongly economically, always growing against all predictions of the usual 'experts' who plant the lies that countries "NEED" continuous mass immigration to thrive economically 😂 And thanks to Orban's government incentives, birth rates in Hungary have gone up in the past years, going against all theories that "there is no way to increase fertility rates in the West unless we have lots of immigration, it's a lost cause!" - Well, Orban's policies made it feel exciting and appealing again for young people to raise a family, and also made them aware it's a collective responsibility as a society if we want our country to continue to thrive without resorting to importing workers all the time! In Hungary, families are celebrated, not exchanged for glorified promiscuity or materialism as replacements for them. There are politicians who show their citizens: "Look, there is option A which is to grow your own family and enjoy it, we give you financial benefits for every extra child... Or option B which is to have less people to get our country thriving and resort to importing workers endlessly... Which do you prefer? THINK about it. We recommend option A!" Refreshing, isn't it?

Forgot to mention that Orban's school friend, a plumber, became the richest person in Hungary. Or that Orban has taken over all public media from TV stations, and radio stations to the smallest local newspapers where the most primitive and easily digestible state propaganda aimed at instilling fear has been broadcast since shortly after he came into power. He's practically taking over all institutions from media, universities, courts and the economy with institutionalized, legalized corruption, blackmail, and making a mockery of tenders where only enterprises connected to fidesz - such as that of his father or plumber friend - can win. He is an enemy of free market, liberty, intellectuals, teachers. He is pathologically afraid of losing and has been working to never lose power, even when losing an election. That's why he grabbed through his lackeys the mass media, the economy, the institutions, and even changed the constitution and electoral laws. You may have a rosy picture of him abroad, but we have 1/3 of voters who thanks to the electoral laws and brain washing from mass media give him 2/3 in parliament and enjoy the highest COVID death rate, inflation, lack of teachers, and the second lowest life quality in Europe. It is the country in the EU where the young want to emigrate from the most.

[@justjaguar2314]

This shows that you did in fact not done enough research. Orbán is a true blooded politician, he cares about monneyyyyy. He could say he cares about the hungarian people, but the guest workers he brought in? Oh please, thousands of vietnamese and thai minimum wage workers say otherwise. Orbán does not care, and never cared about the state of the country's people. He never will.
