Yep, it's working on both the main and forums pages now, I don't see the Argentinian topic anymore, but the Hungarian one is still there.

@Sindo Maybe you accidentally also added Club topics to the latest replies? Or was that intended? I think all the club topics are now shown in the latest replies, even topics from clubs that we aren't member of.

Németország - Magyarország 0-1 A magyar csapat a legmagasabban rangsorolt országok között lesz a 2024-es EB selejtezőjének sorsolásán.

For the first time ever Hungary sends a Romani artist to TISC, someone who many of you probably know from Eurovision. (And yes, even when I finally send a more popular song from a more well-known artist, it's still not a regular popsong. ) Please, welcome Joci Pápai and his single from 2017, "Özönvíz".

Here's an idea for future updates (not sure if it's possible): having the qualification tracker of our own nation up there with the overall tracker. Like, below the "Paris 2024 Qualification Tracker" have a Hungarian qualification tracker if the user is Hungarian. (I mean, for now it would say "0 quotas in 0 sports", but I think you get the idea. )

Everyone here:

is in. I think I already know what my choice is for the Hungarian entry. I have "experimented" with some less popular songs recently, this time I think I will just submit a very popular song, with over 20 million views on YouTube, from an artist many of you probably know from Eurovision. I am just curious what happens when I submit something very popular, we haven't submitted a song like that since the 2020 annual contest.

Most fantasy characters can be played by anyone, their skin color doesn't matter. Most fantasy property was written in an age where black people were second class citizens in many countries, including the US. Obviously we should move on from those times and give leading roles for black or Asian actors that they would have never got decades ago. Black Panther is not comparable because he was written very specifically to be black, their place in comic book history is defined by their skin color, therefore the role can't be played by a white or Asian actor. The little mermaid is perceived to be white not because it's relevant to the plot, it's because the character had to be white in 1989 due to white being the default skin color for any leading role in Hollywood at the time. Now the tides have changed. And Little Mermaid, the Disney musical, has almost nothing to do with its European/Danish origin. The most well-known song of the musical, which won the Oscar in 1989, is a Caribbean song, performed by a black actor, who played Sebastian. Disney already made their own thing and Americanized the tale in 1989, all their are doing now is that they are updating it to what the public desires in the 21st century in the US. I mean, this sure as hell ain't "European" or "Danish" in any sort of way. ---- That being said: the Disney live action remakes are useless and shouldn't have been made. The animated features are superior, but not because they have white actors/characters. So all of this debate is pointless, the skin color is NEVER the issue. The issue is with how unnecessary it is to remake great animated features into mediocre live action movies. The Jungle Book was the only remake which was an actual improvement, every other remake was completely pointless.

It's parliamentary. The head of state (president) has no power whatsoever, the Parliament holds all the power. But that's not really the case anymore, in reality the Hungarian Parliament has become a joke, Orbán essentially makes ALL the decisions as the prime minister, he holds absolute power over his party, which has supermajority in the Parliament, therefore one man rules all, which is the opposite of what a parliamentary system should be. Hungarian society is simply not capable to move on from their desire to have a "strong leader who rules us all". We were meant to be a representative democracy with a prime minister who is waaay less powerful than the governing party or parties themselves. But we couldn't have that, we need our strong leader... And this is event true for the left-wing Hungarians, they are happily worshipping their own version of Orbán. We are not ready to be a real democracy and we won't be for quite some time. Any advances we made after the fall of communist was undone by the last two decades of awful Hungarian leadership, and this includes the failures of the left-wing during the second half of the 2000s, not just Orbán.

The war was only going end in a couple of months in one way: a quick Russian victory. After that we would have likely seen an even bigger catastrophe than a war itself, Russians would have had to rule Ukraine by some very strict measures. And that's not a scenario in which the ban should be lifted. IOC is incredibly naïve if this was their line of thinking. I think they just hoped that the Western world would get tired of the conflict, which is definitely not the case. Europe is pretty much at war with Russia at this point, we just don't see a direct military conflict because of the nukes, so instead it's an "energy war". And the only way EU will survive the coming months is by fueling the narrative that Russians should be punished for their crimes, even if it will also hurt us. It would be very strange to go against that narrative by allowing Russians to compete in sport events.

The issue is first and foremost with the media, which is incredibly one-sided. The power that Orbán has in his hands to control the narrative in Hungary is simply ridiculous and it shouldn't have been allowed to happen inside the European Union, but here we are. The EU should have implemented some very strict rules on state controlled media in their member states, so we couldn't end up in a situation where opposition politicians are not even allowed to speak on national television. State controlled media should represent and be for every citizen, it should be neutral, not right-wing or liberal, but here in Hungary it only represents Orbán, Fidesz and the conservative worldview. But the damage has already been done, there's no going back. The EU is waaaay too late to correct their mistakes. Orbán is here to stay for a very long time and I can't even say that we are undemocratic. Hungarian people have decided that they want to live under Orbán, they like his way of thinking, his worldview, his narratives about decaying Western world. This is where we are now, this is what Hungarian society can reach on their current level of development and the EU can't do anything about it other than hope that Hungary will choose a different path once Orbán is gone after a couple of more decades.

Absolutely nothing changed since they banned Russians from international competitions, the war is still ongoing, so it would look a bit foolish if they changed their minds on it now. You have crossed this bridge, backing down now when Russians are still killing Ukrainians would look like Russia has won in the world of sports against Ukraine. I wasn't sure if I was on board with the ban, but now that it has been made official and implemented for many months, I think it should only end when the war itself is over.

Nicely done, Hungarian water polo really needed this after the disastrous WCh.

France was 8th at the World Championships this year so it would be kinda strange to not let them compete as the host when is allowed to participate.

I guess Spain will prove once again that they are the best team in Europe and that the Worlds was simply a fluke for them where they messed up the group stage. But who knows, maybe Greece can upset. But based on how this ECh went so far, v might have been the real final.
