The Swedish Elections are on Sunday September 11, 2022. Like I want to travel with this train Ah, yeah I had never heard about them, but they seem to be sort of what 'Forum voor Democratie' is in the Netherlands, with the moronic Thierry Baudet as wannabe Führer. I'd still travel with the train though if it goes from A to B and I have to go from A to B I'm mostly surprised trains are painted in the colours of a political party, or does SD have a certain power in Stockholm? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

No they haven’t any power in Stockholm. I’m shocked that SL let paint the train with the colors and logo of a racist and fascist party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Sweden is politically neutral for like 200 years so I guess freedom of speech is paramount even when it comes to fascism. The same way USA allows Nazi uniforms on Halloween or whatever due to their own freedom of speech rules. That stuff would never fly in Poland no matter what the context is.

Vektor 3,177 Posted August 22, 2022 #8845 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This is where Hungary currently stands according to the new polling: Which country or political entity is to blame for the start of the war in Ukraine? 49% - United States 12% - Ukraine 3% - NATO 1% - European Union --- 3% - Russia --- 32% - didn't answer Which country or political entity takes the most blame for not reaching peace in Ukraine after five months? 47% - United States 11% - Ukraine 5% - European Union 3% - NATO --- 2% - Russia --- 32% - didn't answer These are the polling results of Orbán's voters in Hungary. Obviously opposition voters have a completely different, pro-Western opinion, but they don't matter at all in the eyes of Orbán. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most Hungarians only state controlled media "tells the truth". They think what Orbán wants them to think. He has complete control over Hungary. I mean, they just announced today that the Hungarian state will buy Vodafone Hungary, which means that Orbán will have direct control over the majority of internet providers in Hungary. He has EVERYTHING. Hungary is essentially Russia at this point, a failed democracy. Orbán will outlive every current European leader, even Putin, he's here to stay for decades. And I wouldn't even blame Orbán for this. The Hungarian voters simply democratically decided that they don't want democracy.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted August 23, 2022 #8848 Share Posted August 23, 2022 @Vektor Dutch media is saying Orban/one of his ministers fired the head of the Hungarian meteorological service because the stormy and rainy weather they predicted - which led to postponing a firework's show on a national holiday - didn't actually happen Are they missing something and are there more reasons, or is this really the main thing? That almost sounds too North Korean to be true, but judging by the things you say about Orban, it also wouldn't be surprising If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

They have won four elections now in a row with supermajority, they know they can get away with literally anything in this country, so they do stupid shit like this. Orbán could kill a baby in front of the Parliament and he would still win the election with a supermajority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't just shrug their shoulders when they are wrong like you or me. I mean, it wouldn't have been controversial, let alone news worthy at all if this happened within a private company... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
