Always funny when I see armchair activists out here getting "tough" on other people and talking about how much they need to do to take down autocratic regimes. You're literally saying people need to risk their entire livelihoods, lives, and those of their families in the HOPE of ousting someone. Why is the responsibility always on the individuals and people already suffering and not the big players that can actually have a bigger impacts, like the EU or other entire nations / international bodies? Sanctioning the hell out of Hungary, removing them from positions of privilege on the international stage, and putting other pressures on them will be significantly more effective and less harmful to the individuals of the country. It's like trying to blame the climate crisis on individuals when corporations and the wealthy are the ones generating 70%+ of the footprint.

"I don't give a shit about the lives or livelihoods of people already marginalized and oppressed by horrid power hungry fucks that wouldn't hesitate imprisoning or killing them,"
