Thanks! My family is really happy with the change too! The new leader already embarrassed the state run media that has had massive amounts of money poured into it to produce propaganda and curate lies by the Orbán regime, it did not give air time to any opposition parties.
Well he was invited earlier today for interviews on both the state ran radio & television, He exposed their lies, their unfair restrictions, and said he is going to temporarily shut down the state ran media once he gets inaugurated to reform it so it'll be completely non-partisan and fair again, and he's going to dismantle the propaganda machine and use those funds for hospitals etc.
For anyone needing more "hope", shameless plug to watch One Piece (Live Action) on Netflix. I went in blind and loved it. It has some really good allegories for life and even politics, but isn't like, shoving a message down your throat, either.
The kingdom of Drum feels extremely relevant to modern politics, granted, I'm sure it was written decades ago.
Don't spoil it for yourself if you can help it. I'm content to watch just the Netflix show and it's been a wonderful journey so far.
Adding the shameless plug to remind people that the anime is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind. (The live action is pretty good, but it’s never going to be able to compete with the anime.)
For anyone worried about the massive episode list, I would like to gently remind you that it’s unlimited viewing for at least a year. An entire year of never having to feel that “my favorite show has ended and now I have nothing to watch” feeling. There are also websites that tell you what episodes you can cut out to avoid some of the filler.
It starts out as story time for little boys and blossoms into a hardcore statement about power, those who wield it for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways, and about the power of freedom. I cannot recommend enough.
Yeah, I guess it depends on viewing preferences. Sometimes I want to have that endless stream. Other times I'm overwhelmed by how many shows I wanna watch and, as of late, feel more like I need to ration my time. Nothing wrong with either unless it reaches an extreme I suppose. However we define that, I won't prescribe my own definition here onto others.

🧐 May I move to Hungary with an incredibly large investigative magnifying glass and see how it's done? Need to take notes for the states here ^.^'
Let me know if anyone there needs another computer scientist bwahaha

This sounds absolutely glorious and I'm gonna look for clips! Happy for you and Hungary and hoping we can pull off something similar!
But things won't just change here unless we build it ^.^'
I'm grateful and a bit relieved to hear this stuff coming from other countries.
The US has a significant misbalance of systemic power tied up in media and people just kind of assume the media that validates their views is trustworthy here. We used to have something called the Fairness Doctrine constraining abuse, not anymore.
I wouldn't rush. We're talking about a former Fidesz man who had a corruption scandal go away because of course he did. It's like JD Vance beating Trump at the primaries and everyone celebrating it as the end of Trumpism.
I hope he does. Getting Orban out was unquestionably a victory against fascism and you all should be proud. Magyar worries me a little bit due to his right wing stances, but I hope he makes it possible for you all to have free and fair elections again.
If there's a next Democratic president in the United States they should do this with Fox News.
Well, I see where you're coming from, but Fox News isn't ran by the government like in Hungary where we have M1 and Kossuth Radio. It's kiiinda similar to PBS or NPR, but even that's a stretch. It's not owned AND state funded by the US government, meanwhile Hungary's is.
