This thread is basically just xenophobic skyscreaming, but I don't expect that to be a problem.

frick 60 minutes and the liberal media. I don't see anything wrong with a country or ethnic group wanting to hang onto their culture. I don't care what group they are from, you should show pride in who you are. But for some reason it is wrong or racists if you do this and you are white.

Hungary is where I believe Alexander the Great's empire started if you ran it west to east to India.


1. Go to Google Maps
2. Type “Macedonia”
3. Move the map north (up) until you find Hungary
4. Now slap yourself

I spend 12 or so weeks each year on and off in Hungary. Great people. Always competent, inquisitive, and thankful for my help.

Something that really sets them apart from America is that without exception, they all love their country dearly and love to tell you about its history. I usually spend a night or two each trip in a bar talking up a stranger about their past.

Sweden are successful with socialism
As a person with Swedish heritage, Sweden is NOT socialist.

Sweden has
- partially privatized social security
- school choice
- low corporate taxes
- taxation that burdens the lower classes (VAT)

Yes, they do have universal healthcare and free tuition (stricter admission standards and do not have tons of advisers dedicated to holding supposed adult's hands through university)

I would say up until we (US) lowered our corporate taxes, Sweden was a better country for the free market than the US.

Bernie and his ilk are severely outdated on their knowledge of Scandinavia. Sweden did try having shitloads of social programs in the 70s and 80s, but it nearly broke them.

I would not be surprised that the producer of that article lives in a neighborhood that does not allow "outsiders" come in.

I was watching this thinking they should import some Mexicans, then I saw the fence.

People just want to be left alone to live how they feel is culturally right and that’s a problem how? They aren’t trying to colonize or force their way of life on anybody. F 60 min and KHH

Hungary is a beautiful country. Nothing wrong with having a nationalist outlook and protecting your heritage.

If you watched the segment and thought it was sky screaming the media has literally broken you and you are suffering acute MDS.

Well corona is giving a swift kick in the nuts to globalism.

Also, props to Hungary.
