If any of you were looking to spew a bunch of pseudo intellectual nonsense while distracting from the point at hand. This is a fine example of how to do it

All he's saying is that Hungary is a conservative country and if Orban didn't exist there would be another Orban. That is if you see conservatism as a societal disease which seems to be the case here in HN
Some forms of conservatism are definitely a societal disease and Orban represents exactly that type of conservatism.
If conservatism is equal to whatever the fuck Orban is doing, conservatism can permanently fuck off and die.

I eon't think it is, though. There's a lot of worth there still, even if the good parts have become obscure. Good parta include freedoms of all kinds and Chicago/Austrian economics.

Populism is not synonym to conservatism.
