A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He has rigged the electoral rules to favor his Fidesz party, consolidated control over 80 percent to 90 percent of the country’s media, and packed the courts with yes-men.
Imagine-
...Cover your ears, Americans...
Good?... Good.
Imagine living in a country state like that.
God I hope so
What does Merz have to do with it?
He also hopes for that fucker to vanish into irrelevance.
"Look, I dunno about geopolitics and just where is the "European Union" on a map anyway? I looked, and it doesn't say that anywhere, so it's clearly made up. Just tell me who the most treasonous corrupt cunt in European politics is, and he'll have my support. It worked great as a criteria here, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work abroad. Bonus points if he rapes kids too."
"after all, I got what's his name, Chainsaw man doing the same shit down there in mexico"
(Sir, Argentina is not in mexico)
"I don't fucking care, those beaners down there"
The guy who might replace him is just like Viktor Orbán was when he first got elected, and could easily become the next Viktor Orbán, so this isn’t as awesome as it might first appear.
Why is this shit upvoted? It reeks of Russian propaganda!
just like Viktor Orbán was when he first got elected,
Orban is corrupt now, if Orban wasn't corrupt 16 years ago, it seem to me to be fine that Péter Magyar is like Orban 16 years ago.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make, because Péter Magyar will be a huge change in the position of Hungary towards Europe and away from Russia and USA.
could easily become the next Viktor Orbán,
That's just stupid, that can be said about everybody.
this isn’t as awesome as it might first appear.
Typical Russian propaganda rhetoric when something goes against them.
tbh, he's right, many are thinking similarly here.
but that's no excuse to vote differently
Is "here" In Hungary? And how much of that is Russian propaganda you think?
Orban basically control the media, are you not aware Hungary is constantly bombed with propaganda?
The way to end that, is to vote for a pro EU candidate, because pro EU is also pro democracy. And Orban is destroying democracy in Hungary.
So yes the best vote seems to be for Péter Magyar.
never underestimate your enemy.
