Japenese nationalism is good and I hope it increases. They need it to protect their culture from modern western culture.

Hungary was reasonable in WW2. The alliance with Germany made sense at the time. Hungary also refused to murder Jews and other minorities. Later in the war, Germany overthrew the Hungarian government and installed its own puppet regime which then carried out the Nazi programs. But this was Germany's fault, not Hungary's.

Do you know about Unit 731 and Nanking? I undestand Hungary's position at the beginning of the war but I think the uprising that happened later on was stupid and simply spurred by alive nazis residing in Hungary.

I didn't but looked it up. That was Japan, so this doesn't relate to Hungary much.

My understanding of this comes directly from my parents, not from historical sources. And what they said is that the Nazis in Hungary would not have come to power without Germany's backing.

Yes and you were talking about japanese nationialism so I asked about it. What do you think about the Hungarian Revolution?

These things go beyond nationalism. Nationalism should be about defending one's nation, not about attacking other nations.

What do you think about the Hungarian Revolution?

My father fought in it and my parents left when it failed. Eisenhower promised eastern European countries that America would help countries that revolted, and then he reneged on his promise when Hungary revolted.

I understand what you mean by nationalism in this sense, but a lot of japanese nationalism is based on the their regime during WW2 and hating China, Like how I mentioned about Nanking and trying to play down or out right deny Unit 731's existence. I think every country should be nationalist and every country that isn't is weak, but I think certain nationalists in Japan are a little bit genocidal towards the chinese. Do you think it was a justified revolution in Hungary or a Nazi Idea used to weaken the USSR?

The 1956 revolt was a justified nationalist revolt. The Hungarian government at that time was a puppet government of the USSR. The revolt just sought Hungarian independence.

I understand that position. What do you think about Hungary's current political status and the recent Anti-LGBT propaganda law?

I am fairly libertarian, so I don't think highly of any government in the world today. I admire the government of early America.

I think government money should only be spent in the clear public interest, which means no public money should support LGBT. But if parents want to send their children to some private satanic school that receives no public funding, that school should be free to teach anything they want. But public spaces including public television should be regulated to prevent children from being exposed to indecent material, and that would include anything promoting LGBT. This is my political opinion.

The only source of morality is religion. Government cannot effectively promote morality. So religion matters much more than government policy. The Catholic Church looks like it is lost to liberalism, so I consider Catholic countries like Hungary to be doomed. Orthodox Christianity still has hope.

I don't particularly dislike early america but after the 1900s It became the most evil country on the planet without a doubt in my mind. I agree about LGBT Laws and the orthodox church. Do you think that America and allies have a chance to redeem themselves from the social justice bullshit and stupid governments + laws? Also, what do you think about Putin?
