Your analysis of the causes of the Hungarian civil war is almost comically shallow. Full marks for the correct spelling of Abaújszántó, but otherwise your confusion about key facts indicts you as a complete amateur. Obviously it was Bela III, not Bela IV who made the fateful decisions. OK, maybe just a typo, but then you go on to characterize Stephen's dismissal of the Voivode as "illegal". As even casual scholars of the period know, that claim was completely debunked by the Hrenskiy manuscript of 1897.
Thank you! I’m so tired of people just pretending like the Hrenskiy manuscript never happened. Once or twice and it could be an accident, but when it happens every day, in every single social media space on Earth, it starts to feel like a conspiracy.
This is a ridiculous characterization of the factors surrounding the authority of the Voivode. One must understand the context of feudal authority in 15th century Hungary to really make any sort of coherent claims about legality. AND! It's laughable that Church authority and influence hasn't even been mentioned in this discussion. Please help elevate the discourse on this substack by resisting the temptation to invoke facile arguments on what is a complex and deeply important topic.
Regarding the Church's role, its omission in the initial discussion doesn’t automatically render the arguments invalid. While the Church’s influence was undoubtedly significant, its direct impact on specific legal disputes like this one can be more nuanced and varied than often presumed.
Elevating the discourse means recognizing the multifaceted nature of these historical events, where multiple factors, including but not limited to Church authority, interacted in complex ways to shape outcomes.
Definitely confirmation bias. Lots and lots and lots of people are sick of being told that Trump hate is some kind of intellectual position. The funniest part is the belief that hating Trump is some kind of edgy rebel position. Nah, you guys are literally believing what you’re told. You support a regime that would send you off to the meat grinder of a foreign war if it helped them stay in power. Get an actual clue.
I've noticed a change in how Trump is covered. It used to be all about how racist and sexist he is, but now it's all about how authoritarian and anti-democracy he is. I like this approach a lot better because it's more universal.
Biden can speak without a teleprompter (see Conan O'Brien's recent interview with Biden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGbY21eMtoA) and I have been critical of Biden's age several times before on this blog.
Seriously bro? “He constantly denies the 2020 election results.” This is authoritarian? I know this this great bridge you can get really cheap. But seriously. Listen to yourself! You’re literally siding with authority. Not only authority, but a non transparent punitive war loving bureaucracy with a geriatric dementia patient as its face? A government who set up peaceful protesters with undercover feds to throw them in jail? Who tries to criminalize asking any questions about the obvious shenanigans that went on to get him in office? Who says not a peep when the daughter of our biggest war profiteer stages a show trial? Seriously bro. Have you ever seen one of our puppet’s speeches? Do you have any interest in, or understanding of history? Isn’t Trump bashing getting kind of old when all you’ve got is but but but orange Hitler?
I’m curious about the claim that Trump has an “almost 50/50” chance of winning. I don’t follow politics very closely, but I thought Trump was ahead in the polls. What makes you give a slight edge to Biden?

I guess the downside of anti woke writing is attracting the MAGA crowd in the comments.
A common problem, sadly. It's lonely being a person who can't stand wokeism or Trumpism.
I don't think it's that lonely. I think we're in the majority. But that could be my confirmation bias since everyone I'm friends with is in that boat.

If being a sentient human being that doesn’t buy Trump hate makes me maga, then fine. Better that than box wine mom or flaccid bugman.
See, this is why I come here. I could find "Trump is nuts" anywhere, but not that lovingly crafted word cloud.
Yeah Trump is nuts is going on sale soon.

Confirmed. All messaging, all the way down. Hate has a home here!
"If he wins, Trump will try to use the state to prosecute his enemies while placing himself above the law."
I agree that he should not behave like President Biden.
How did you get my word cloud?
Stunning and brave! I look forward to your critique of Biden, who can't speak without a teleprompter. Build back better! https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-build-back-better-lets-go-brandon

Must pay well to be a regime apologist. Because I can’t think of another reason to stab yourself in the eyeballs and say you can see.
This article captures exactly why I refuse to go to Hungary. The wounds are still healing.
