    If you ever need someone to say „told you so” in the future you know where to look. This is naïveté is why people like Orban will return.

      He already has returned. This was it after losing to MSZP 4 terms ago. You don’t have to tell me more, as an outsider you are working with very limited information.

        I have lots of insider information on living in an Eastern European neoliberal hellhole. Hungary isn’t special.

              You make claims of the future as if it already happened, and declare yourself correct. Why? How would I listen to events that have not yet happened?

              I’m sorry to hear what’s going on in Poland, but your government is yours. Saying that nothing will change, it can’t be fixed, just you wait I told you so etc. is plain doomerism. If this pessimist logic you apply were right, then no good would ever be possible. Yet, examples persist that change is not limited to a change in management.

                Yes, we’re allowed to make predictions of the future based on available data. We should actually try to predict it not to get duped by politicians (like EPP-aligned neoliberals). If you turn blind eye to this data then you’re getting duped willingly or maybe you’re upper middle class and will benefit from neoliberal policies. Oh well. You do you, I’ll grumble and rant because I love the moment I get to say „told you so”.
