It is one of the few European countries with great promise fool. Every time I visit it is nicer than the last. Few other places can say they are improving. Hungary is also one of the few countries where there is little to no population crisis or pension crisis. The country is the only in the civilized world that is going to be better when older generations die, than the inverse.
It's literally the poorest country in the EU, you dumb frick. Wages and pensions are far below the EU standard (except for the small elite and old communists). Healthcare and education is down the shitter.
Foreigners don't visit anything other than district 7 and 5. They buy some coke at Dohány street then use a gipsy prostitute then go home and blog about how great Hungary is. Screw them.
If I visited Budapest I would go to Kossuth Square because that is the only section I know of from being the home of the whale circus in Krasznahorkai’s sublime Melancholy of Resistance.
Kek the life expectancy at birth is like 70 there.
And their movies are utter shit except for pre-WW2 kino. Their animation and claymation is excellent though

don't know about malta (and it's not even fricking italian territory, bruh), but corruption is pretty widespread throughout the country from north to south. probably more in the south for historical reasons, but that's being nitpicky. the government is in rome (central italy) and the (little) real money is in nothern italy.
anyway, italy in general is kino as frick, but that's what the country has become internationally, either a parody or a postcard. quite a tragedy indeed
>it's not even fricking italian territory, bruh
Neither are southern Switzerland, San Marino and the Vatican but they are all culturally Italian.
Italy is a modern artificial assemblage of city-states which is why it has so many weird liminal buffer zones compared to other countries.

malta was never an italian territory. it was under british rule for long time, and had ties with italy due to proximity, but was never part of it, so it's completely irrelevant to the point you were making
all the others you mentioned too, they aren't italian territory, so when talking about italy's situation they are as relevant as madagascar. >Italy is a modern artificial assemblage of city-states
that can be said of many european countries. italy's "fault" at best might be that it was unified later than most >which is why it has so many weird liminal buffer zones compared to other countries
I'm not sure of what you're referring to now
Wtf even happens in Hungary? It's too western to be Eastern Europe but too Eastern to be Western Europe.
Only movies about it I know are Marcel Jankovics' animated kino. For some reason it seems to have had a very strong animation culture which is just another odd thing I can't really make sense of.
>Wtf even happens in Hungary?
Be bitter about everything and be the weakest link in any organization or coalition you're involved in, and cry about neighboring countries "stealing rightful Hungarian land" (even though none of those lands at any point actually had Hungarians).
>cry about neighboring countries "stealing rightful Hungarian land"
why would they even care about this? if they got access to the sea I might get it, but they a landlocked country surrounded by landlocked countries, do they really want more hills?
>why would they even care about this?
Bigger land = Better and resources. Same reason why Serbians are incredibly asshurt over losing Kosovo even though it's like 90% Albanian and had been so for centuries.
I get that but these morons think real geography works like total war. if the country is a shithole it wouldn't improve by getting a few square kms of territory. orban should just stop sucking putin's dick and get to work
I get that but these morons think real geography works like total war. if the country is a shithole it wouldn't improve by getting a few square kms of territory. orban should just stop sucking putin's dick and get to work
its less about resources and more about memory of glorious past - powerful Hungarian kingdom and Serbian Tsardom.
Every single c**t in this region suffers from inferiority complex and is about WE WUZZ STRONG, WE PROTECTED EUROPE FROM MONGOLS/RUSSIANS/TURKS BE GRATEFUL WESTOIDS
because Orbán is a maniac and wants 1920 hungary back before trianon, he also sided with putin cause he expected russia to win the war against ukraine fast and after that get those parts back
Visegrad was never friendly with putang, it was supposed to be a small counter-weight to franco-german block in West, but Polels are morons who without a grasp of foreign relations and super-national interests.
All those states are yet to mature into something serious.

well it does (or did) represent some common baseline among them. poland and hungary seem to be the only one that are being pretty "hardcore" about it. czechs don't seem to give a frick about anything, and slovacks seem quite chill although very catholic
because orban is a russian spy its obvious they have something well putin that holds him in checkmate and need to obey anything like a slave plus he has been ruling over hungary for 24 years now like a dictator, robbing the people from millions with insanely high taxes and putting all it into his and his families/friends pockets, too many propaganda in tv, radio etc to somehow stop him and people doesnt seem to be waking up sadly fideszgays brainwash
pretty sure there's still Hungarian minorities in Romania and Ukraine bruv. Certainly some of the Romanian land transfers after WW1 were a bit questionable
I love how this is what people still think about us.
We dont give a shit about our neighbours. Well a bit about Romania but only for joking about them being gypsies to seeth them, Nobody gives a shit about Trianon anymore. only those like few hundrend super right wing sub 60 IQ "Redneck" style skinhead morons.
>It's too western to be Eastern Europe but too Eastern to be Western Europe.
You just described entire central european region.
As for what is wrong with Hungary - they used to be important part of empire and because of that thought they will be equally important alone as a nation state - they just didnt consider other nationalities (Slovaks, Croats, Romanians, Serbs) may want to leave Hungary like it left Austria.
Hungarians have come into central Europe, fricked a bunch of shit up, and we've been reaping that karma for the past 500 or so years, with the turk invasion, being a vassal state to the Austrians, then being a vassal state to the USSR, repeatedly revolting and fighting for independence and then getting massacred in the streets
we're generally disillusioned with the world and tired of it all
tons of people are left mentally ill, alcoholic or otherwise destitute
some of our art, architecture and other achievements are held back by our shit history and a lack of a national budget or even interest in those kinds of things (granted, we do have a few artistic and scientific gems here and there, we can be inventive and creative)
Our leaders are fat clowns whose only political interest is remaining in power for as long as possible or just the most base, moronic idpol campaigning
It's generally not looking good
But we've lasted this long, we're a tough people, able to weather a lot of shit and finding the human soul of it all underneath the rubble
Gotta keep your head down and push through it
no one in any kind of position of power in Hungary wants to get back the lands lost in Trianon, you're literally fighting a straw man constructed by Romanian and Slovakian ultra nationalists.
that doesn't change the fact that the territories now owned by Slovakia, Serbia, Romania and Austria were rightfully ours ever since our ancestors set hoof and foot in the Carpathian Basin over 1100 years ago, and were taken away from us in a manner that went directly against the directives of Wilson's Fourteen Points.
you know the noon bell? look up the story behind that.
I don't say these things lightly, but hungarian language is hands down the most grotesque sounding language on the face of the planet. The mere fact that those literal mongoloids can speak that cancer with a straight face tells you everything you need to know about their very souls.
I own an old musical from there called “Hyppolit the Butler.” It is cute. The drunken, lower class Mr Schneider becomes rich suddenly so his wife hires a butler named Hyppolit to make him posh and fancy but he hates the guy until the guy recommends a dancing hall girl his first employer saw on and off and from there it spirals downwards as he has to keep his wife unaware. A subplot is that a rich technical advisor is trying to romance his daughter but also the guy doesn’t want Mr S to know about his high paying job for some reason but Hyppolit recognizes the guy because he used to always be around his first employer. All around a cute movie.
That guy was a good actor. Tobias is another character which every reviewer I have read always mentions as being a beloved favorite. I thought he was a card too (hippodrome! He says go in and shout Hippodrome!) All around a pleasant cast. I thought this tune was catchy too
Ah yes
I watch a documentary about the Treaty of Trianon and then completely coincidentally a Cinemaphile thread about Hungary pops up!
Completely believable! Move along buckos, nothing to see here! The TI will definitely succumb to this humiliation ritual!

Also Putin's best friend in Europe. What now, CHUD?

>It is one of the few European countries with great promise fool.
>SLOVAKIA has a higher standard of living than them
ok
Slovakia is a really nice country too. You'd rather live there than your shithole, guaranteed.
There's only one reason to live in Slovakia.
she's Hungarian
And she lives in Slovakia.
Bratislava is ok, but the rest of the country is extremely poor.
Both are full of gypsies and vietnamese meth dealers.
t.actually went to there several times
Everything you see in Slovakia was Hungary. Their capital city was a provincial Hungarian town
It's literally the poorest country in the EU, you dumb frick. Wages and pensions are far below the EU standard (except for the small elite and old communists). Healthcare and education is down the shitter.
People forget Bulgaria is a part of EU as well
>It's literally the poorest country in the EU
I'd argue that it's actually Bulgaria, but Hungary isn't very far off

Werckmeister Harmonies was shot nowhere near Budapest, but in a small town called Baja.
The only whale we got at Kossuth Square is the one who resides in the Parlament.
>They buy some coke at Dohány street
You mean baking soda
Hungarians still come to us in Austria to collect garbage and bring it back home.

We don't.
Because Hungary is the nation of the Carpathian basin. You will never understand that but Jankovics Marcell is all about that
Pretty much that's it. Also, a lot of gypsies and literal nazis.

The films of Miklos Jancso, but they're very arthousey. Also Bela Tarr but I'm sure he's been mentioned already

I'd wager it's Dutch.
Nah the Dutch are cultured and appreciate Hungary. There has been significant Dutch migration to Hungary and Transylvania
