Ever since the post-9/11 fallout from the invasion, anyone who wasn’t a bureaucratic, brown-nosing sycophant left the federal agencies for private corporations.
This “decimation” resulted in a system where those who truly wanted to do good were outnumbered by the bureaucrats
That's a very convenient fiction. You should read more about their earlier eras, as I've found it hard to disabuse people of the notion that the FBI, as the arm of state violence, was every 'good.' The targets changed, but because the earlier targets were regarded as 'enemies' so easily, they barely get mentioned.

Well, in Hungary's case, they have to provide safety and freedom to the millions of illegal immigrants who cross into their country and drain their economies, because those people need to be protected
The safe and secure thing to do would be close the borders.
Stop covid riddled people from crossing, stop illegal immigration (Super duper security issue)
So according to TxTiger82, we should close the border to all immigrants to keep his family safe.

Man what happened to you? Time to frame the old jersey and hang it on the wall. Sit down in the easy chair with a Tom Collins and reminisce about the glory days.
When your pathetic attempts at arguments are continually and repeatedly beaten down over and over and over again, this is what you post.

No, I want to build a better version of European-style infrastructure and social programs.
How many evil people in history do you think didn’t want to create a better world whatever their definition of that might be? There are very few people in history who actually know they’re evil.

After all, they 're only doing it for "safety" purposes.

Thank you for illustrating my point. You want to complain about civil liberties here, but you lionize Poland as a shining example of the way forward.
I'm not lionizing anyone. I'm saying these countries have a responsibility to do what's best for their citizens and it's up to them, not a foreign power, to do what they see fit.
I don't see where Poland and Hungary have "documented and observable" declines in civil liberties, ESPECIALLY as compared to these other European socialist utopias.
If you want to talk about countries eliminating civil liberties, perhaps you should look into Australia.

Dunno man, he said he can't keep his family safe without forcing you to quarantine or get a shot. Its hopeless for him.

I literally pointed you toward one agency that has done just that, but OK.

The Hungarians have gotten fricked hard for a long time as well. The Soviets and the EU have caused them to turn their country into a giant middle finger.
The Hungarians were screwed by the long-term fallout of the Iraq War, as that created a class of permanently displaced people who had no paperwork, and were effectively stateless. Because the EU is effectively a federal system, the Eastern countries were always going to get fricked during any crisis in West Asia.
There's going to be another crisis too. It's been going on since January, but no one is reporting it yet, as millions of Afghans are now moving to Turkey through Iran. No one has thought that we should perhaps set up a similar refugee system to the one designed after WWII, and thus, the pattern will repeat.

Yes, agree 100% the refugee crisis is about to repeat.

If fascists and commies hate me, that’s a good thing.
