It’s not. The Hungarian government is a dictatorship though that controls the media and thus the narrative. It has an aging population glued to the radio and television.

The language barrier is the biggest hurdle to overcome. Magyar is so unlike any other language in Europe, many never made the effort to learn another, where it’s not just different words that they would have to learn, but entirely different syntax, grammar and intonation as well.

Budapest is like a beacon of enlightenment within a country of darkness. They just need to launch a bunch of rpgs from the top of Gellért Hill towards the Parliament when it’s in session. They can always rebuild it again later.

I’m half Hungarian. I agree.
