      One of my great grandfathers was a gulag survivor.

      Up until 2010, he used to hold presentations on why the communist regime of Hungary was bad. His biggest issue was the secret police and arrest quotas, both of which caused him being tortured until he confessed crimes he didn’t commit during 1956.

      After Fidesz won, he was no longer let to speak up, because they wanted women sobbing about “having to wear ugly eastern clothes instead of beautiful western brands”, not to mention that they didn’t really had issues with secret polices or arrest quotas. If I recall, they even banned the word “arrest quota”, as Fidesz is a proxy of the American Republican Party.
