The Hungarian counter-revolution was led by fascists. They let Nazis out of prison, and were lynching Jewish people and communists. They were armed and trained by MI6, and had connections to the CIA at minimum. Had the fascists succeeded, Hungary would have seen the same devastation it ended up seeing in the 90s when the Soviet Union dissolved, a sharp fall in life expectancy, massive wealth disparity, huge increases in drug abuse and prostitution, huge spikes in homelessness and poverty.
To put it in other terms, imagine if the January 6th rioters started lynching officials, and were backed by a foreign power.
Westerners always through in this arbitrary qualifier because they want their governments to keep using brutal force against foreigners so long as they don’t do it domestically.
lmao you really think you’re arguing in good faith here? Coming in with an ad hominem right out of the gate, and then completely ignoring an entire third of my comment.
not gonna convince anyone of anything this way. touch some grass.
People who are defending a regime that is using force on its own people are always bad, no matter who coined the term.

Every single state on this planet has a (police) force that is used on its own people.
Equating police with literal tanks… Alright
Guess I should have specified excessive force. Tbf, police also has a problem with that, but that’s a different story.
Ah so you’re fine with armored police vehicles as long as they’re not called tanks… alright
What part of that did you not understand?
You were the one who said “force”, asshole, you didn’t say anything about tanks specifically, or why the specific type of vehicle used would matter.
Good news! Nobody ever considers the force used by the governments they support to be excessive.

Ad hominem, ad personam, who cares. The point is that calling your interlocutor “dumb fuck” does not enrich the discussion, nor the readers.
Nope
