OPINION

We Stand with Ukraine, but We Stand with Hungary First

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.

The West’s Nervous Breakdown
OPINION

The West’s Nervous Breakdown

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.

The Forgotten Genocide in Yemen

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?

The Structural Failures of Planned Economies III – Living Standards in the Soviet Union

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.

The Limits of Legal Interpretation
OPINION

The Limits of Legal Interpretation

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.

Children’s Book Promoting LGBTQ Families Is Not a Problem, but a Challenge
