I don't claim to know all about this situation, but I do discern a recurring pattern that many IT professionals don't (want to?) realise:

Information technology is giving all kinds of actors leverage to exploit our human brain's fundamental shortcomings.

In this case, it's a fscking nazi sympathiser jumping to the fore of a presidential election from nothing.

Remarkable and ironic to me, these actors weaponise the powers of technology while often spitting at the scientific method underpinning them.

Why do you call him "a fscking nazi sympathiser" ?

Sorry, you'll have to deal with translating yourself, but current browsers make it easy

For context, Romania's fascist movement, prominent in the late 30s, was called "legionaries"


The russian govt are basically the nazis of the 21st century. And hes a sympathizer to them. Hence: Nazi sympathiser.


This equation is just wrong, as applies to both Putin and Orbán.

And (ironically) simply convinces people that those who are concerned about Putin's arguably fascist (as opposed to actual Nazi) inclinations are just hyperventilating and overreacting.

Thus, promoting his (and Orbán)'s longevity.


> This equation is just wrong, as applies to both Putin and Orbán

Why is this wrong?


Because Putin isn't a Nazi. He's something new.


> Because Putin isn't a Nazi. He's something new.

Huh... you know, I never tought about it like that. But I don't disagree with with this statement. thanks


"In 2022, a case was opened against him for promoting individuals guilty of genocide and war crimes after various comments on interwar far-right Iron Guard leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and former PM and marshal Ion Antonescu."
