people who dont live here do not know how fucked up is it. every media is owned by orban, and the countryside folk are mostly old people who dont use the internet, so their only news source is straight up propaganda.
Genuine question: do you think eliminating Orban from the political scene will seriously change things?
I lived in Hungary and interact often with Hungarian expats and I have a very negative outlook if no real cultural change is enacted.
As you say, the countryside people are just like Italian and even Danish ones, and served propaganda daily, but the level of nationalism I experienced in Hungary from almost all sides of the political spectrum tells me there is something deeper at play.
Hungarian nationalism/patriotism is so fucked up. They are straight brainwashed into believing they are a superior race above all other peoples.
“Our language is the oldest inhuman history”
“This country used to be 10 times its size, they stole it from us”
“in Asia kids learn in school that theyre descendants of Hungarians”
Actual quotes from my hungarian family. Truly alarming.
I find it plausible that Orbán and the average Orbán voter sees the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a godsent opportunity for Hungarian revanchism on parts of Ukrainian territory.

I have been in Opusztaszer. That place is hell to me.
