Stuff's happening really quick. Orbán is trying to leave the ICC (proclaimed at the press conference with Netanyahu). We suspect it's in preparation to host Putin soon.
In these interesting times I urge people against blanket hatred, or any hatred at all. We are all being pumped up emotionally, and it is hard to understand what's going on if you are blinded by (the justified) rage you're experiencing.

My 'breakthrough' moment was during Covid. Just looking at all the news (from sites I deemed 'my side') without any real information, but loaded with emotional phrasing made me realize that I am being used. I love that we have multiple options for news, don't get me wrong, but I felt betrayed.
