> I find this kind of 'lol nothing can ever improve' mentality to be pointlessly cynical, boring, and reductive.

You do know that all these politicians do not care about us (including Orban) and are power hungry and will betray us the moment they can?

Only a matter of time.

> Oddly, it's of a type I mostly associate with the so-called dirtbag left of the United States.

Knowing that these politicians are always for themselves and are self-centered (Especially in the USA) is not a "left" or "right" thing as they both do it.

Agreed on all counts. But the comment you are replying to is in fact something other than tiresome cynicism. It's propagating disinformation cooked up mostly in Moscow. The idea that Hungarians or any other Europeans are going to be "conscripted" to fight in Ukraine is laughably implausible. Luckily most people can see through these attempts at fearmongering and manipulation, as we found out tonight in Budapest.

Like what exactly? You're looking too deep into this.
