Proletics Serious Discussion - Nothing Changes Edition Bernd 07/18/2024 (Thu) 14:12 [Preview] No. 52219 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Previous thread: >>36217

Found fun informational. It's dated, I think from 2019 but things seems to be the same. Not sure about that Paris Climate Agreement tho.

As in last post in prev thread stated today EU Parliament voted back Ursula von der Leyen as the president of the EU Commission (EU govt. basically).
719 deputy
707 votes
401 yes
284 no
15 abstained
7 invalid votes
She's so dumb, and the dumbest statements she makes. She's also a bit dated, she was first elected in 2019. But it shows how strong the leftlib is, they stay in power as expected, despite all the bleeting in the leftlib press about far-right danger.

By the elections in June the TISZA Párt become the second largest party, with about 30%. Picrels are the freshest data.

Pic #1 made by a company close to the govt/Fidesz. It shows the EP election results in the first column at each party, and the current polling in the second.
- Fidesz is as popular as four months ago
- Tisza Párt's popularity has grown - remember this is a semi-conservative, pander to everyone, get the opposition together party
Between the two there's 10% difference.
- DK-MSZP-P is the remnants of the socialist party just above the 5% eligibility line (for parliamentary seats)
- Mi Hazánk, right radical party, separated from the Jobbik, from those who did not want to team up with the left-liberal opposition, again right at the threshold
- Kétfarkú Kutya Párt (KKP) - the joke party, under the treshold, perhaps they could get in perhaps not.
- Momentum - liberals, down the drain
- the rest down the drain.
According to them strictly taken those numbers 4 parties could get into the parliament.

Pic #2
From a pollster close to oppostion. They also show the preference in two columns (rows actually), but the light blue is the whole population (all voters), the dark shows the sure voters.
- Fidesz - 28% all voters, 39% sure voters
- Tisza - 26% all, 37% sure

The Mi Hazánk brings a very typical right radical form, with the 5-7%. These voters probably those who doesn't like the Jew-love of the Fidesz, and those who have struggles with the Gypsies. They won't ever get a real voice nowhere. But this 5% is about the same since the MIÉP (the first such party) was founded 1993. Jobbik had a growth when they dialed down the rhetoric and went softer, taking many voters with conservative tendencies and aversion of Fidesz. These now vote on the Tisza.
The DK hanging on is fantastic. There are still some people who prefer them. Pensioners? I dunno. I'm fairly sure young voters would rather pick KKP, Momentum, MMN, Greens, or LMP than them. But they are probably drift towards the Tisza instead.

And back to the TISZA Párt.
As I mentioned before I "get to" listen to the radio this year, and literally all is Fidesz propaganda. If it's about the opposition then it's Magyar Péter constantly. So much shit they pour onto him, that's hilarious. And really activates those braincells. They add to the hype. And if the Fidesz really "hates" someone, that makes those who hate the Fidesz support that person. It's the "Dirty Fred effect" - as I call it, based on a character of old Hungarian pulp fiction novels, where Dirty Fred (a kind of an antihero) used his own unpopularity to influence others to help someone whom he wanted to help. We could call this reverse psychology.
I believe the reason behind the hype around Magyar Péter is that the Fidesz wants to keep the opposition afloat, so they can keep up the appearance of democratic legitimacy. The previous opposition parties just couldn't keep their voterbase.
By how much this party is "controlled" as they say. I dunno. But the voters have real antipathy towards Fidesz.

US presidential election's gonna happen on next Tuesday. Finally ending the year long masturbation they call campaign. Then comes the tune titled The Election Was A Fraud after it - no matter who wins. Actually it was 4 year long campaign because they played that song in 2021 for a year, then in 2022 they had the midterm elections, which is another one year jerkoff, then they were warming up for the primaries for another year.
Among all this circlejerk Japan carried out a whole campaign just under two weeks, with the election on October 27th). Sure the governing party shot itself into the feet but still.
In 2021 the Liberal Democratic Party (the Jimintō) won the elections with quite the lead, although with an already dropping popularity (they gained power in 2012 the first time with Shinzo Abe, since then they had won each time, but with less seats at each elections).
The Jiminto has a 3 year cycle for its presidency, and the former defense minister, Shigeru Ishiba won in 2024 September. Starting from October he took over the seat of the Prime Minister from his predecessor Fumio Kishida. Thinking it's time to reinforce his position via a general election, where he could lead his party to victory, he announced a snap election. However the popularity of Jiminto is not so shiny due to the so called slush fund scandal (they funneled campaign funds into private bank accounts), and got less than half of the seats in the Japanese House of Representatives (the Japanese Parliament, the Kokkai, is bicameral). Now they are forced to govern from minority.
The biggest winner is the major opposition party the Constitutional Democratic Party (Rikken-minshutō) which got a whopping over 50 seats more than in previous election. However smaller parties emerged too, so now there are 9 parties in the legislature instead of the previous 5.

What are the implications?
Firstly not sure.
But.
The Far East might get volatile, with Best Korea's getting Russian support, and with the constant sabre rattling around Taiwan, god knows what will happen if the Ukraine war is nearing, or it gets finished. A strong, but at least fit to work Japanese legislation and government could mean a pillar of stability, but an indecisive one could prevent Japan from acting in time.
As for their inner politics, I dunno if they would better or worse, and with whom. Japan has its problems, but they live comfy and secure I think.

It's hard to say what this will do as they still haven't formed a government yet I don't think. Ishiba is the best candidate to deal with the geopolitical situation, that's probably why his party picked him but at the same time because of the weak position of the LDP I think he will struggle to make decisive decisions if they have to be made, he would have to work with the minor parties to do that.

As for inner politics, I have no idea. I guess it will depend on what demands minor parties make of the LDP in order to form a government. It will means they won't be able to make any drastic changes though you would think.

Japan does alright. They are often attacked for their stagnating economy but that is complicated. Yes their GDP growth is slower than many other nations but their GDP growth per Capita is actually inline with most other OECD nations, it was fairly close to Australia before Covid and since then things have gone strange for both of us(well the whole world really but still).
The reason Japan's economy isn't growing is because of a lack of population growth whereas most of the growth of Australia's economy comes from Migrants. If you ignore that and look at wealth growth by the individual then we are similar. Though Australia is one of the richest nations on earth per capita so we are still richer than they are in that way.

Japan has problems with inflation but the whole world does. Though in Japan's case it's largely because of a depreciating yen, so it's a bit different. But the yen should go up once the US and the rest of the world lower interest rates enough.

Japan has massive debt too of course but they have low interests rates and the debt is held by the Japanese themselves, so it's not as big of an issue as the US in my opinion(the US spends more on interest on it's debt that it does on defence).

Japan has issues but they are structural, they have a declining and ageing population and there is nothing you can do about that other than import migrants which isn't really a long term solution and has it's own problems. So they have to learn to continue with a declining population(which we all should be learning to do instead of importing migrants).

But also we don't know what's going to happen in regards to Trump, China and trade wars and how that will hit Japan if Trump gets in. Australia should be fine, the USA would be dumb to put tariffs on us, even China rethought their attempts at that. But Japan is a direct competitor to the USA, China and the EU in many ways so a trade war could do interesting things...

You are right. They are still forming the new government, probably negotiate with potential coalition partners.

Previous: >>50296

Nothing much going on in Syria anymore. Bit of ISIS I see on the map, and the SAA bombarding rebels on the north east. Beside that Israel is constantly attacking into Syria, targeting Iranian backed terrorists, and Iranian backed militias, and apparently Iranian militias themselves.
In Israel, the IDF still wrestling with some Iranian backed, dirty, barefeet, stone throwing kids since October... Where Yom Kippur and Six-Day Wars disappeared? Anyway. In Gaza they bombing Iranian backed Hamas, in Lebanon the Iranian backed Hezbollah. Sometimes they have a cease fire to release hostages as the Iranian backed Qatar negotiates it.
From Yemen, the Iranian backed Houthis raiding the shipping lanes with drones and whatnot.
In Ukraine the Iranian backed RAF/RuAf is on the attack. The initiative is theirs, AFU tries holding their trenches, forts, and foxholes. I heard couple of interesting things today, but would need some drawing and look up possible sources.

20rh August State Foundation Day Bernd 08/20/2018 (Mon) 06:19 [Preview] No. 18586 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
A year passed and again this day commemorates the foundation of Hungary, this is 1018th birthday. We celebrate this national holiday with listening to politicians mixing irrelevant daily politics into historical events in the morning and watching fireworks in the evening. Budapesterners can witness the procession of state founder Saint Stephen's Holy Dexter. Also all the local communities have their own little celebrations.
This is the third time I make this thread, and I won't post much, maybe I'll post something about what happened today - if anything interesting - later.

August 20th Day of State Foundation Bernd 08/20/2024 (Tue) 10:36 [Preview] No.52331 del
Always keep in mind that all men are born in the same state, and nothing elevates more but the humility, nothing sinks more than pride and malice.

King Saint Stephen dedicated the Admonitions to his son Saint Emeric, a short set if instructions, a so called mirror for princes, a guide on how to rule, about the ten pillars of kings. The actual author seems to be a high priest, close to the king, but it is surely was ordered by Stephen, and contains thoughts that implies he also gave his opinions what to cover and how.
It's fun that the introduction notes: soft things make you soft. Emeric as a child could not yet face the hardships of military campaigns and battles, which were important themes in the life of the adult king Stephen, and he needs not just the nourishment of soft mush he was fed until now, but has to taste the sour wine of life.

I. Keeping he Catholic faith
For starters this is an interesting point. He says only those can gain the title of the king who are faithful and Catholic. We shouldn't forget that when this was written, and when the Hungarian Kingdom formed, when the Hungarian rulers gained the kingship, the title Rex - instead of Dux, elevated from there - the conflict between Rome and Constantinople was deeper and deeper and culminated in the 1054's Great Schism. So firstly this point shows only Christians can become kings, it is a Christian title. Second while at that point still everyone was Catholic, perhaps this is a refusal of Orthodoxy.
The work mentions the importance the belief in the Holy Trinity as is, and warn against those who want to change or reduce or inflate it. Warns about heresy.
II. Honor the Church's order
The Church as institution not the building or ritual. As the title says, honor it, defend it, and make it grow.
III. Respect the high priest
The advice is: they should be the key officials. Absolution is in their hands and they can tie men to sin too. On the other hand if one of them turns to sin, the king should warn him and make him find him the path back to righteousness (or snitch on him to the Church).


Bernd 08/20/2024 (Tue) 10:37 [Preview] No.52332 del
IV. Respect the lay aristocracy and warriors
They are the wall defending the country, the protectors of the weak, the destroyers of enemies, and the expanders of the borders. They shouldn't be put to servitude. Don't be haughty with them, but lead them with virtue
V. True judgement and patience
I feel this one Machiavellian, perhaps I could find hints to previous points too, but this is a bit more apparent. Essentially leave judgements to the judges, and only serve justice in cases which suits well enough to make the king look good. Otherwise appear patient with everyone, don't swear oaths - don't pick sides essentially, he should distance himself from making enemies for decisions, leave that to the judges.
VI. About hosting guests and how to patronize them
Guests and newcomers enrich the country. They are basically sources of information, opportunities to learn. They bring knowledge and skills, weapons (literal, but information is a weapon too).
VII. The weight of the Council
Listen to the Council, listen to the old and wise. Avoid young, dumb, mediocre and proud ones.
VIII. Sons follow the predecessors
This is about continuity and traditions. The one about guests sounds progressive, this one is conservative. Fathers should direct the sons, and sons should obey their fathers. And then repeat when they become ones, follow the customs of the old. This point also says that each folk has their won customs and they should by ruled by that custom.
IX. Keep praying
X. Piety, mercy, and other virtues
Patience, strength, humility, temperance, gentleness, honourable, chasteness.


23rd October, Revolution and War of Independence of 1956 Bernd 10/23/2024 (Wed) 19:00 [Preview] No.52516 del
I missed out the October 6th commemoration of the Martyrs of Arad. I wanted to take a look of other political martyrs of the era, Italy is bound to have some, and I heard something about the Fenians. But I missed the opportunity, oh well.

So I'm thinking now - in honour of our '56 Revoulution - to take a look at Czechoslovakia in 1968.
The Prague Spring
I don't know much, especially not the details, so this will more like a general inquiry into the topic on my behalf, and perhaps summary of things. See also: Wikipedia. All right maybe I'll try write something that Wikipee does not, I'm curious about Hungarian ties to it ofc.
As stated before politicians always mix daily politics with these national holidays so I don't listen their speeches.

One could think the Hungarian Revolution of '56 had great impact to the other Eastern Block countries. It is hard to measure but it seems the opposite is the truth. Officialy it was labelled as a counter-revolution and the rest of the opinions were suppressed. There were little to no samizdat activity that could give a voice, censorship ruled.
We already had some understanding with Poland, but Romania was openly hostile, Czechosolovakia ditto (with serious anti-Hungarian chauvinist overtones in both countries). Officially in the latter country as a direct reaction there was a "secret" memorandum that declared support for the leadership of Antonin Novotny, securing his position of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia which he held since 1953, then he became president in 1957, held both offices till the Prage Spring removed him.
As our Revolution gained some of the ideas from the de-Stalinization and some wind too, Novotny's reign started with that - but as a counterweight. He seems he was more of a hardliner, who put effort into halting any thawing processes, and his "socialist" constitution of 1960 was even more formally communist than the previous one they accepted in 1948. So this "destalinization" went slow with occasional pushes from more reformist elements (such as writers, or the next First Secretary, Alexander Dubcek), eroding Novotny's popularity.
I can't say how wide was the popular support, but judging by the events that followed the later Soviet/Warsaw Pact invasion it seems that sympathizers were from all over the country from all level of the society - but not in any impactful numbers. People wanted changes but did not want to risk a more serious push for them. What we should see, that the changes were the product of the rise of an internal political opposition, and were introduced upside down, no armed uprising against the communist leadership happened unlike at Hungary.
In 1968 January Dubcek and a pal cornered Novotny, and Brezhnev (probably already probing the opinions of the leaders of the satellite states) decided to green light Novotny's retirement. The issue seemed to be decided but then Dubcek and many reformists started to talk nonsense about living standards, multi-party systems, democracies, building relations with the West and such. This compelled Brezhnev to engage them and tell 'em they should slow down a bit. They agreed, but The Head and Brow of the Soviet Union was not convinced, he saw that the process will lead to losing Czechoslovakia, and ordered the tanks of the SU and allied Warsaw Pact (Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary) countries' tanks rolling. No clash happened between the two sides, almost only civilians resisted, mostly with non-violent methods.
Dubcek had to go, he was replaced by Gustav Husak. All enacted laws and reforms were reverted, except the one that made Czechoslovakia a federation of two countries. Later some of the reforms were activated again as amendments if I understood correctly.

As for Hungary.
It appears that at the same time the Czechoslovak reforms started, the Kádár regime here introduced new economical practices, trying to make the country's economy actually work. The changes put forward in the neighbour were mostly political in nature, so our leadership started to pray to Saint Lenin that they keep them very "moderate". They feared if things were getting out of hands then our economical project will be scraped, or perhaps even the thoughts of resistance will be reignited here or at least Moscow will think that's happening too.
Since their fears seemed to become true, they decided to show they are loyal subjects of Moscow, and they can march along with the Warsaw Pact, right into Czechoslovakia, when finally Brezhnev decided at the military solution. Kádár even declared that if it comes to counter-revolution in Czechoslovakia, he will vote wholeheartedly for military intervention. Well he did the same with his own country so I don't see how could he not applied the same principle elsewhere.
From his opinion we could also deduce, that the Dubcek-turn, was went far enough for him to consider it a counter-revolution. However this is not the case. He gave the opinion to Brezhnev (on the day of the invasion, on August 21), that the events in Czechoslovakia are closer to the Polish events of 1956 than to the Hungarian counter-revolution of the same year. Still, Hungarian forces were participated the same.

Supposedly later in 1988-89 when our socialist system started to collapse they considered the moral Czechoslovakian lesson and example.

Previous one is autosäging.

Wanna watch The Longest Yard, the original Burt Reynolds movie.
I only see two remakes, the Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones, and the Adam Sandler comedy from 2005. Probably the only good Adam Sandler movie. It's greatest selling point is the catchy tunes played in the background and the supporting cast. Judging by the screenshots it follows the original story quite tightly. The Mean Machine is adapted to the circumstances of a Bri'is prison and normal football. It was entertaining too.
One more remake was made, and Egyptian one: Captain Masr in 2015. Not sure if it's available anywhere, or has any English dubs or subs. Also features normal football.

Mom says I'm unique - so my favourite film of the series is "Alien 3". I know even Fincher doesn't think that - but I do. The only way it could've been better is one of the precious concepts with a wooden moon inhabited by 300 medieval monks.

As for the "Aliens" - it's your typical Hollywood slop. A studio taking some surprise hit and turning the sequel into some dumb popcorn movie for the biggest common denominator. In case of the "Alien" it was really tragic, because they turned the very concept upside down - instead of the titular alien, an embodiment of sadism and satanic evil, they went with the "guys, what if there'll be tons of these bastards?", turning them into just a pack of dumb beasts that a little girl can evade. "Event Horizon" is more "Alien 2" than "Aliens".

Last year I found out there's native Linux version of the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Editions. They are working well but I don't think I'll ever finish a playthrough again. Back then I finished original BG, and BG2, but not the Throne of Bhaal expansion. Damn long games.
Enhanced Edition makes it possible to play this classic DnD based crpg on modern steel, fixes bugs, changes some rules, adds new NPCs with quests, new items, two new expansions (The Black Pits - arena fight generator?, and Siege of Dragonspear - which is a module for the original story, taking part between BG1 and BG2). It seems okay all in all.

>Duke Nukem restoration project

basically 3D realms had a demo for Duke Nukem forever that they showed in E3 2001 once. People liked it but 3D realms didn't do much with it afterwards.

After 2 decades of the demo showing up in E3, someone from /v/ got access to the E3 demo files somehow and they shared it online. Duke fans then started working on making an actual game with the files, and now the end product of the sort of mod is available for playings. It's still in kinda Beta testing mode but it's available to play right now if you download it bernd. More levels are being worked on and will be released eventually.

People can contribute to development if they want to volunteer inside the second link I shared.

I think I'll check it out/put on the list.

I figured out. The cover reminds me of The Island of Doctor Moreau.

I think you can say that some of the lines and settings are inspired by the book. You can read then watch both and you can see the comparison.

Same creepy environment so I can kinda see that

Sudden. He seemed fairly all right in recent videos.
I can't promise but I'll do my best to avoid trying pancreatic cancer at home and leave it to the professionals.

Since the previous thread is autosäging, here's the new one.

This little faggot is making covers for all kinds of popular music.

Previously Venezuelaball posted some songs of a sludge metal band, Acid Bath. Managed to put my hands on some of their songs. Here's a couple I liked.

Similar to the previous >>52383 but this one might be better, that bass solo-thing, not really a solo but a bridge perhaps about at the 2/3 is breddy gud.
>This one is also one of the OPs for Gintama.
Gintama soundtrack?

No, they are the openings of an anime. Basically the staring credits.
This is the OP for one of the seasons of JOJO's Bizarre Adventure for example.

Ehh, maybe Jojo was a bad example because they make the OPS in 3d for some reason, even though the anime is 2d. But it's a nice song.

Some good songs have come out of Russia in this war so far, I have not really seen any good ones from Ukraine yet though.

Well, that's just one and a half minutes. The other is a "full" song. Not that I don't believe you.

That's very generous.

Cooking Gulyás reup Bernd 06/28/2018 (Thu) 07:17 [Preview] No. 17596 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
I saw some Mexican asking for gulyás recipe on Kohl and because I don't really want to start posting there beside the World Cup I decided to reupload the gulyás cooking as the other thread is "File not found" as well. So here's with original text.

Cooking with Bernd: gulyás

I was planning to post a good gulyás cooking since day one but somehow the occasion eluded me until now. I know a Hungarobernd did this on KC main but it was regular "cooking in the kitchen" type of thread and not "over open fire in bogrács" (traditional Hungarian pot).
I couldn't do this live for technical reasons but it will be fine this way too.

Pic #1
Ingredients: meat (little bit over half a kilo, it's pork, not beef), taters (by volume I used about the double of the meat dunno their weight), onions, tomato, paprikas, black pepper in the mill, dried ground paprika in the jar with the red lid, salt in the middle, and the white wax paper on the right covers the salo (fatback).
You can also see my Mora for cutting needs and a bearly visible peace from a wooden spoon behind the meat and the potato, the masterpiece of my carving art, used for stir the food in the bogrács.
The taters are leftovers from winter, wizened but fine for our purpose. Some of the onions and the paprikas are also leftovers I utilized.

Pic #2
The initial setup. Two quarter logs at the sides and a nest in the middle for the fire itself also aligned toward the usual main direction of the wind. The rocks are there for a little draft control. Tripod to hang the bogrács.

Pic #3
Lighted a handful of dry grass, placed in the middle of the nest, then a large handful of dry twigs above, and sticks across the log above all. As these sticks burn in the middle they broke after a while and fall into the nest. The heat from the nest lights up the inside faces of the logs. The heat is very concentrated toward the nest. The cooking is going above the nest, and it really doesn't need much flames. The smoldering logs pumping up lotsa heat, only some sticks are needed to be placed inside the nest time to times. Also when a log burns through, a new can be placed there. I had several prepared.

Just cook it slow and constantly. Should be made in a few minutes. I'm sure there's recipes online to follow for it

Try it and maybe you'll like it!

Picked some of mushrooms today. 4 boletes, and a bunch of lepiotas, probably macrolepiota mastoidea all. Some might be macrolepiota procera but their stipe are too slim.
Anyway no mushroom cream soup yet again. I just fried some up with onions and scrambled eggs. Salt, pepper. Tastes great.
Here's a trick for frying mushrooms. Not sure frying is the right word. So the trick:
Slice up the mushrooms, but instead of fats (oil or lard) pour a bit of water under it, and cook it with that until the mushroom is soft and the water evaporates. Then add the fats and fry them up. The reason is that the mushroom is like a sponge and can absorb a ton of the fats - and while the body do needs them, too much can be unhealthy -, so much in fact that you'll be tempted to add more. And some find it disgusting too. So just use water first.
