It’s so incredibly fucked up to read about Orban’s shit. Here’s hoping the EU elections don’t go as poorly as some are projecting

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Meanwhile the German "center" and "center left" are actively doing everything to push more far right extremism. Following their racist tropes, spreading lies about immigrants. Increasing police violence and general authoritarianism. Employing austerity measures throwing entire city-districts into poverty while wanting to cut the income tax for the highest tax brackets and refusing to implement a wealth tax.
DW as the government run foreign media of Germany is incredibly rich to deflect from their normalizing fascism in Germany by pointing at other countries. This is not to defend Hungary or Italy. It is to clear up about the motives and actors here, which is a political class in Germany once again enabling fascism instead of fighting it, using minorities for virtue signaling, while actively bringing on their demise.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to the Hungarian government, the legislation was meant to end legal uncertainty but did not "affect men's and women's right to freely experience and exercise their identities as they wish."
But human rights groups have criticized the law, saying it puts trans people at risk of harassment and discrimination because they are forced to reveal their transgender identity every time they need to present their driver's license or passport.
The same-sex couple, who live in Italy, told DW they are one of more than 30 families who had the birth certificate of their child contested.
This happened last year after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government ordered local authorities to stop registering children of same-sex parents with both of their names.
"Our message is really: She is that bad, and you can never trust her words," said Santamaria, arguing that Meloni has mastered the strategy of telling people what they want to hear and lying about her true intentions.
Staszewski told DW how he and his fellow activists faced targeted attacks from politicians, media and courts under the previous nationalist-conservative government in Poland, how they felt like "second-class citizens."
The original article contains 923 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The phrase father specifically denotes a man. A transgender woman should be referring to herself as a mother; shouldn't they? So she is no longer a father to her children, but rather a mother, right?
I think it's important to note that this is all very personal to the individual. There is no "should" and a transgender woman may still consider themselves a father.
Just because we may not understand it, doesn't mean it's wrong. Which is the important lesson for much of what is wrong in the world right now.
It is exactly the fact people can’t understand it that it’s wrong. If you can’t understand something, at the very least it leads to people using it in a way that is wrong if not immediately then in the bigger picture. A mother cannot be a father, and a father cannot be a mother. Reality doesn’t work like that. What will that do to the child’s sense of truth. People certainly don’t want others to make them accept a mental delusion as normal. It isn’t. There is no hate involved, it’s simply reality. To say that violence is inevitable is just another way of attempting to force one’s mental issues upon others. To justify it. This will all be seen as some weird phase in humanity’s decline.
