Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?

From a historical perspective, it's stranger that swearing isn't normal for some people; it seems to be a universal feature of human languages throughout history and around the world.

The exact swear / taboo words vary of course, but in general it does seem like just about every culture ever has had and used swear words.

I wonder if this was yet another *chan / reddit incel

I guess "consumer pullback" is one way to describe what's going on with the economy…

I really don't get this sort of attitude. Do you seriously think that nobody is allowed to even write about how the EU could potentially use existing mechanisms and treaties to expel autocratic states unless everything about their own society is "sorted out"?

Like, does this mean that eg. people in Finland can't currently talk about autocracy in the EU because we have an extremist right wing government?

I was wondering what the glasses were referring to. I guess you mean Max Stirner?

German post-Hegelian philosopher, dealing mainly with the Hegelian notion of social alienation and self-consciousness. Stirner is often seen as one of the forerunners of nihilism, existentialism, psychoanalytic theory, postmodernism and individualist anarchism

I'm a bad leftist, I'm terrible with theory and history.

The thing is though that no matter what the EU does populists will weaponise it, and very often it doesn't even have to have anything but the most tenuous of connections to reality. All the small "sanctions" against Hungary (mainly temporarily withholding funds) have already been painted by Orbán as unjustified attacks.

The persecution narrative is there, and while yes expulsion might play into it, just about literally everything else the EU could do to Hungary would also play into it – and even if we did let Orbán do what he wants, he'd still spin the same story about the evil EU keeping Hungary down because right wing extremists always need an external enemy.

Personally I think that freezing Hungary's EU funding and political participation in the Parliament, Council and similar institutions might be for the best. Not an expulsion, but basically telling them that until they get their shit together they won't get to benefit from Union money or influence its direction
