A few weeks ago, we were thinking about going back to Europe pre-Christmas, but with the shutdown, FAA flight disruptions and me not wanting to spent another 3 days in a row stranded at ATL we scrapped those plans… and now we think taking a 67 hours cross-country roadtrip is a much smarter idea. 💡🚘

Why are Péter Magyar’s Anti-Corruption Claims so Successful?
To understand why Péter Magyar’s anti-corruption claims were so successful in rallying opposition against Orbán, consider the broader environment in which he emerged - writes Gabriela Greilinger.

The manosphere is a detached set of websites and social media groups united by the belief that men are oppressed victims of feminism. Even though the manosphere has existed since the early 2000s, i...

Whenever you think this can’t get any lower, Orbán proves otherwise.
Orbán is posting right-wing extremist tourism ads, and Austria’s most prominent right-wing extremist, Martin S., responds to this post with "Right decision." Well then.

Falls sich jemand fragt, warum diese Genderdebatte jetzt auf einmal wieder von der FPÖ vorangetrieben wird: Die EU hat Mitte Oktober die LGBTQI+ Equality Strategy 2026-30 veröffentlicht, und die FPÖ versucht das anscheinend jetzt politisch auszuschlagen. www.krone.at/3963223

Yes. But also, Orbán was in power for 14 years until finally a successful challenger emerged and Orbán's popularity drastically declined. So the interesting question to ask is: Why now? And why was Magyar so much more successful in his anti-corruption messaging than others before him?
Hungary’s Orban seemed undefeatable a year ago.
Then Peter Magyar broke through with a powerful anti-corruption platform, rapidly consolidated the fractured opposition, and now leads Fidesz comfortably.
Anti-corruption defeats authoritarianism worldwide. It will work here, too.

Latest polling from 🇦🇹 with the far right at 37%. But instead of claiming there’s no alternative to the far right dominating politics, remember when social democrats led the polls between spring and autumn 2022, before their latest self-destruction exercise? It didn’t have to be this way.

When the excruciatingly loud fire alarm goes off in the apartment complex at 9.30 at night, naturally, your first line of action is to get into the car and drive off to get a milkshake until this spectacle is over.
We've become smarter since moving here, but not in the way most people would think.

Re Chancellor Merz's cityscape comments: The Austrian far-right Freedom Party is jumping on the bandwagon and has now posted a short video, "comparing" the old vs the new cityscape.
Quite remarkable how a "conservative" politician's remark resonates so strongly with the far right and their agenda.
