This article contains a shitton of falsehoods and omissions. The tankies were wrong.

Király was not a fascist. He served in the Royal Hungarian Army as a career soldier, joining after his father before the rise of fascism.

He did indeed serve in the invasion army of the fascistic Horthy regime as a captain, and he was indeed put in command of Jewish slave labourers, for which he received the Righteous Among the Nations accolades, as he treated them as humanely as the situation allowed, defying his orders, risking execution.

He was kept on with the Hungarian People’s Army, promoted by the communist leadership multiple times. He married Gömbös’ niece under Communist rule, way after it would have been politically advatageous. Despite that, he was put in command of the Hungarian participation of Stalin’s planned invasion of Yugoslavia.

He fell out of favour after the invasion was cancelled and was caught up in one of Rákosi’s purges, and he spent the three years after in abysmal conditions until the 56 revolution. He got out a month before because of the buildup to the revolution had some political prisoners released. He spent the next month until the revolution in hospital.

The Nagy provisional government asked him to organise the defense against the Soviet invasion, which he tried and understandably failed. He then left for the US along with hundreds of thousands, and got a job as a CIA trainer for Cuban anti-communist insurgents, which got him in the JFK files.

Then the Putin government put those files out and started a coordinated propaganda campaign to whitewash the genocide and rape the USSR committed.

BTW I’m a leftist and think the CIA is the scum of the earth on par with the SS, but let’s stick to the facts.

Collaboration and empathy raised us and made us dominant.

Sociopathy is a disease.

That’s what I love about my native Hungarian, even pronouns are ungendered.

Everything else is stupid complicated though. We have tonal harmony to worry about instead.

Yeah but it seems they are being rented by people in plain clothes, as apparently several companies are already trying to refuse.

In particular one truck rental place was named that they were complaining that their trucks are not for transporting people in the cargo space.

In any case, if I rent a car where I live, and run a red light, commit a speeding offence, park illegally and get it towed, what usually happens is that the car gets treated the same way as any other car, the owning rental company gets charged and fined, and then they put on massive fees and forward the problem to me.

Why can’t they just pull over the vehicle, impound it, and have everything happen like it would with anyone else?

Apart from the comments being insane, I just want to mention that most countries outside the US had their exports grow in general, but the exports to the US fall.

Point is, the world is fine without the US.

The PC-12 is a turboprop, not a jet, though.

It’s a leech hauler alright, but not a jet.

Only a handful of countries manage to produce more stuff per hour of work.

Only a handful of countries manage to produce more money per hour of work.

That’s an important distinction IMO.

I guess the idea is that humanoid robots ideally require no adjustment to the factory, they can just use the tools made for human workers.

The point being made is that the big corps advertising have an exceedingly hard time measuring whether ad buys resulted in sales, and especially which ad buys resulted in sales.

Buyers don’t see that it isn’t worth it, they can only guess.

You could be more supportive. Men have issues specifically hurting them too, and not dismissing that fact won’t make women’s issues less relevant.

Could we just be more supportive to each other?

Couldn’t we buy from Taiwan? Or better yet, build our own devices with Taiwanese processors. It’s much harder to spy if the supplied components are simpler and the device is opaque to them but transparent to us.

It just came out recently that wealthy Americans and Russians came to the Balkans during the Yugoslav war to hunt and kill civilians for fun.

I’m feeling we’ll end up going over it whether we row or not.

When the USSR came to Hungary, they literally exhausted the syphilis medicine supply of the country for two years with the amount of rape, and the country has had collective PTSD from it for generations.

I’m sure others can bring up other countries, I’m more familiar and am more in touch with the culture of specifically Hungary. It is widely researched and not debated actually that it was so bad, suicides and misogyny spiked in the aftermath, as the people who couldn’t defend their loved ones from often repeated often gang rape either committed suicide, or just internalised that “rape is not so bad” to cope.

600 thousand people were also kidnapped (from a country of less than 10 million) and forced into labour camps for decades, with a third never coming home. This also specifically targeted the local German-Hungarian population (which had nothing to do with Germany, it was a diaspora dating back long into medieval times), so it can also qualify as genocide.

There were also examples of brutal torture, keeping people in cells small enough they couldn’t even sit down, and so on. Had nothing to do with communism, some of the direst things were actually done against communists who wanted to be free from Soviet occupation. It was pure Russian imperialism.

And truth be told, we got off easy compared to some other countries.

And finally, colonialism being “western” in an inherently racist way to view the world. East Asian empires also had colonies, so did most empires around the world.

In case it’s not just a joke, basically if you press the entire pedal, that’s rudder, and if you push with your toes and “rotate” the pedal forwards, that’s the wheel brake. If you apply the wheel brake, your ankle stays in the same spot, but your foot tilts forward.

At least that’s how it is in most planes, I’ve never flown a 737, only small ones and an A321 simulator.

(at foot pedals) “Push both to brake (after you land), push one or the other to turn”

Doesn’t the 737 have toe brakes?

I mean in the current dictatorships, where it’s a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by Marxist terms, it is usually one dictator and the setup is fairly hierarchical.

Why is it called a dictatorship then?

without ever having colonies or engaging in imperialism

That’s only because the USSR lobbied hard in the UN so that colonialism is defined as having overseas colonies. The “near abroad” is/was a colonial empire.

The USSR was definitely imperialistic, see Hungary 1956, where it crushed a revolution which was not against communism, the revolutionaries were in fact communists, they just wanted to be free of Soviet occupation.

Not debating the accomplishments of the USSR though, it was definitely and improvement on the Russian Empire.

Well, in the USSR it was Ukrainians. Every authoritarian system find its outgroups.

There is also the possibility that it’s a principled stance towards executive authority. Like they don’t want the precedent of the courts and the system in general successfully protecting people from them.
