Talk About Bupkes! Hungary After Orbán w/Pál Dániel Rényi

<p><strong>“Talk About Bupkes!” is also available </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheBupkes"><strong>on YouTube</strong></a><strong> and most anywhere else your ears go for podcasts.</strong></p><p>Viktor Orbán is out. Péter Magyar is in. In the doldrums of liberal world ordering, rarely has an election been so fraught, psychologically draining, and full of nervous anticipation.</p><p>As Europe breathes a sigh of relief, lots of Orbánism still fills the air—in Hungary and beyond. There are institutions to ring the corruption and cronyism out of, society-level trauma and grief to confront, and the exclusionary illiberalism of Christian Nationalism to purge from the center of the European metropole.</p><p>Magyar isn’t Orbán, but what is he? Despite the cautious optimism, we know from history that tearing something down is the easy part. Building something better in its place is the real work of democracy that only begins when the election ends.</p><p>In this episode, we talk to <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/danielrenyi?s=21&#38;t=Ws9UXdlysAndHNZ60feeqA">Pál Dániel Rényi</a> about what it was like to live—as a citizen, a Jew, and a journalist-<a target="_blank" href="http://Gy&#337;zelmi k&#233;nyszer by R&#233;nyi P&#225;l D&#225;niel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58369255-gy-zelmi-k-nyszer">author</a>—through 16 years of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n08/jan-werner-mueller/short-cuts#:~:text=Orb%C3%A1n%20employed%20what%20scholars%20call%20%E2%80%98autocratic%20legalism%E2%80%99">Orbán’s autocratic legalism</a>.</p><p>Music by The Bupkes’ own Chief Goy Liaison Officer, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/piersgavastoned/">Wiliam Succumbs</a>.

Funny how your conception of being “good” can repeat everything that made you “bad,” right?</p><p>Most recently, this real-life tragedy has taken the form of a scandal in Berlin that involves Christian Democrats with “no expertise in combating antisemitism” handing out public funds to combat antisemitism to friends who also lack expertise in combating antisemitism.</p><p>If you’re looking for reason in Germany’s Staatsräson, keep on searching.</p><p>Be sure to subscribe to Megan’s Megacan and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/megansmegacan&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;&#8288;">give them some gelt</a>!</p><p>Follow them on whichever psychotic billionaire’s data-fracking machine you prefer:</p><p>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/megansmegacan/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MegansMegacan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>We’re excited to have <a target="_blank" href="https://linktr.ee/wnglucroft">William Noah Glucroft</a> (or Gluhcroft?
