I've been in Hungary for years now, my wife is Hungarian and so are my children. I've always said this country has a lot to teach Europe about how to build a culture out of various tribes. Hungary is a beautiful mosaic of people and traditions, but all proudly Hungarian. I do take exception with Zsófi's claim that there is no 'single, monolithic, top-down state culture.' That is true for folk culture, but the real culture of the day is very much dictated by an elite in Budapest, who though mainly ignored by the rest of the country, do make the rules -- so we have a terribly centralised education system, for example, with the curriculum changing yearly to suit political whims (adding/removing authors etc). Things have got a lot better in the past 20-years, but this centralisation hang-over from Communism shows no sign of going anywhere.

The Herzl Institute is a Jerusalem research institute and training center dedicated to intellectual renewal, content development and capacity building in the following core areas: Jewish Political Thought Jewish Philosophy and Theology History of Jewish Ideas in the Christian and Islamic Worlds History of Zionism and the State of Israel Theodor Herzl (3 May 1860 - 3 July 1904) was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist, lawyer, writer, playwright and political activist who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state.
The issue with the failure of the EU project is that the operators of the project do not want to unite cultures but instead to amass wealth. Tribes will therefore continue to preserve their identities when they should be celebrating their identities with other identities with common and shared understanding. In the UK, every document is translated into multiple languages for common identities and tolerance.
I get what you guys are saying - but it's all said in sort of an apologetic tone; almost as though the communist buzzwords like racism, nazi, etc. are BAD - when they are in fact just buzzwords. I get called nazi often by leftists and/or Christians. This makes me stronger - because I know they use buzzwords when they can not actually refute you.
@@willemvanstaden3292 Good. Speaking in American terms, Genderism is the single most destructive (and stupid) idea that's ever been conceived by the human mind. 😅 But Nazism comes in second place.
I was hoping Hungary was more ethnonationalist oriented... seeing a clear assertion that Hungary is not full blown ethnonationalist, is actually disappointing... I was hoping they were hiding a complete racialist or ethnicist ideology.
Not even China nor Japan are fully ethnonationalist. The only nations that are fully ethnonat are those whose nations are too poor and backwards to attract any sort of immigration (I.e. not Europe, not North Am, not East Asia)
