Hungarian Conservative

An announcement was made yesterday that the fireworks will be postponed as a precautionary measure. A responsible decision from a responsible government. This was not always so—in the year 2006, the government did not cancel the fireworks, which resulted in the death of five people.

This article is not about the András Hodász phenomenon. It is about the media exploitation of the András Hodász phenomenon.

Of course, it is hard to deny the reality-shaping capacity of words and phrases. The realities construed through public discourse can in turn influence people’s attitudes, for example attitudes towards vaccination, or voting choices. The way things are spoken about in public may even affect the outcomes of elections, as we have seen time and again.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine forced most NATO members to reckon with the poor shape of their military and left them searching for quick fixes. Countless procurement programmes have been signed for new weaponry, but we’re still short of manpower. Compulsory service, perhaps even for women, may prove to be the only answer.

I believe that we were all created in God’s image, and therefore there is that of God in all of us, including pre-born babies. But one need not be a Christian to understand the fundamentally evil nature of abortions.

It seems like reality and common knowledge do not matter when an agenda is being promoted with noble lies.

Since the beginning of the tragic war in Ukraine, many have embraced the idea that Russians have collective responsibility for the current events. However, it is crucial to recognise that the notion of collective guilt should not be used to demonise or incite hatred against ordinary Russians.

Despite all the threats made by Beijing, Pelosi landed in Taipei unscathed. However, the fact that the Red Dragon has not struck (yet), does not mean it takes humiliation lightly.

It looks like the Biden government may end up not being able to push its anti-growth tax cartel idea through anyway, beside finding that it is very difficult to coerce the Hungarian Prime Minister into doing anything that he does not feel coincides with the interests of the Hungarian people.

According to Mr. Sakiewicz, Ukraine is now fighting for ‘an ideal that has always connected Poles and Hungarians’, which is ‘the right to preserve its own identity.’ Well said – Hungary has indeed always fought and will always fight to preserve its own identity. We stand with Ukraine, but we stand with Hungary first.

No one has suggested that trans athletes should not compete, they should have every right to do so, but in their own category, in order to create as much of a fair playing field as possible.

Science is merely a tool. Tools may be used—and abused—towards this or that end, but they do not determine the end that is chosen.

When multi-billion-dollar companies decide to play moral judges in American politics, they rarely expect lawmakers to take a real stand against it. But Florida is different – with a governor who is clearly getting ready for 2024.

To the old question, ‘Is there a ghost in the machine?’, therefore, we could now answer: no, but there is a consumer. And that consumer selects his new identity, along with its own distinctive pronoun, from the vast range of moral possibilities that the modern world throws up.

Why has the majority of the international community criminalised Vladimir Putin, but has for the past seven years refrained from publicly challenging or criticising the US government’s implicit role in the Yemeni genocide?

There is an alternative look at nationalism – as one that is compatible with classical liberalism, which promotes unity within the nation and solidarity with neighbouring countries. 

Although it always comes as a shock for people from Central Eastern Europe who lived through state socialism, nowadays in the West there are increasingly more young people who identify as Marxists or even Communists.

Given the increasingly widespread appeal of Marxist beliefs in Western academia, it is important to remind ourselves of what really happened under Soviet-type planned economies.

While some disappointment with capitalism—just like with any system—is completely understandable, the virtues of capitalism must be acknowledged.

Abortion was the leading cause of death globally in 2021 which means that nearly 43 million babies were killed in the womb before they could be born.

We discussed the future chances of conservatism, the possible political role of Christianity, and how the ‘rainbow culture’ in Germany uses Hungary as an antipole, a perceived enemy, to forge an identity for itself.

As a result of this omnipotent power, Facebook can influence votes, stock exchange rates, and the way of thinking of entire generations.

This article aims to provide simple reflections by a conservative approach on the possible meaning of identity, and also on what use its application could have in the modern world.

With the decline of football hooliganism, UEFA has set the elimination of discrimination on its flag, both on the football field and in the stands but the system they have developed does not seem to be working consistently.

If the Basic Law is considered illegitimate, then the law which determines the electoral order on the basis of this Basic Law is also illegitimate. The conclusion that can be drawn is simple: the participation in parliament of political forces with a simple a majority is also illegitimate.

Today, Hungary and the V4 group are in the same power bloc as the West, but they can still serve as leverage points against certain Western powers in the field of international relations.

If leftist media platforms are so progressive, and lament the small proportion of females in the Hungarian parliament and the alleged sad state of women’s equity in Hungary, how come they treat female politicians the way they do and why do they have so few female journalists?

The rainbow-coloured stadium row in Germany is as if the entire country have decided in unison to condemn Hungary for its new law and are trying to shove their opinions down the throat of the whole world.

When it comes to nationalism, as the Israeli public intellectual Yuval Noah Harari says: ‘without nationalism we would be living in “tribal chaos”.’

The Hungarian government does not link pedophilia to issues of sexuality and gender because it wants to criminalize LGBT people in the eyes of the public, but rather because protecting children does not end with stopping sex offenders.
