    I’ve read in some unsubstantiated comments that the state of the authorities of Hungary is so fucked up, they barely check if you can bribe a family tree researcher to make up some BS that your grandparents were Hungarian.

    Pretend they were 1956 refugees that never had papers in the US, find some people who actually got lost in 1956 that have birth certs in Hungary - like maybe killed by the Soviets - learn some elementary Hungarian, be white, and boom, EU citizenship.

    I take no responsibility for this harebrained idea and reiterate that this is just some ridiculous thing I read back on Reddit way back when.

      Hungary itself is leaning quite heavily into an authoritarian vibe these days. If one were to go this route, I’d recommend taking advantage of your new EU-citizen status and find permanent residence in a country with stronger democratic traditions.

        Authoritarian

        This just means democratic results where CIA failed. Europe warmongering despots takes authoritarian views on diminishing Hungary. Hungary allows “same sex registered partnerships”. “Needing” a pride parade is supremacism. Trying for citizenship in “CIA democratic beacon EU” will get you drafted into mobile infantry to go be cannon fodder invading Russia, or selecting a nuclear strike target.

              What other alternative is there? Admit that your worldview is skewed by all kinds of propaganda to the point you’re detached from objective reality as desired by your party?

              That’s just crazy talk. Just like the idea that words have meanings and you can’t just use them however you choose to devalue the meaning behind them.

                Edit: Shit sorry I COMPLETELY misunderstood your comment and thought you were directing that at me. A re-read solved that. My apologies if you caught my snarky response before this edit.
