Is there some algorithmic reason that Twitter's trending news box is obsessed with the Batgirl movie cancellation? I feel like it's been there every day for a week — PolitiTweet.org

So on one side, you have the history of racial discourse in Hungary, the Hungarian chief rabbi, an expert on the history of racism, one of Orbán's longstanding advisors, and the Hungarian government's own translation. On the other, you have Orbán's own spin — and nothing else. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It's why *his own government* translated "faj" as "race" rather than, let's say, "culture" or "civilization." If that's what he said, they would have rendered it that way. It's not. https://t.co/wByBZ3wtzg https://t.co/Kb9iO9osu5 — PolitiTweet.org

It's why a longstanding advisor to Orbán resigned after the address, calling it a "pure Nazi speech" that was “worthy of Goebbels" https://t.co/B4bz1tUSgm — PolitiTweet.org

It's why a scholar of racism believes, in context, Orbán was invoking the term in a biological sense https://t.co/xSzM6QSimA — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexanderFaludy This is why the Chief Rabbi of Hungary, who typically is not a vocal Orbán critic, denounced these comments specifically as racist https://t.co/5oTZ53x0Rm — PolitiTweet.org

It is true that, in Hungarian, the word "faj" can admit of multiple meanings. But it literally means race or species, and politically has been used by the Hungarian right to denote race specifically. From Paul Hanebrink's history of Hungarian nationalism (via @AlexanderFaludy) https://t.co/iu37Gv8KNq — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán is now playing defense on his race-mixing comments, bringing in some friendly academics to explain himself. This is wrong. But first, the core of the Orbán's argument (source here: https://t.co/ERNbJfJeUL) https://t.co/TPkuKrbsGP — PolitiTweet.org

@ptbrennan11 The chief rabbi of Hungary is famously not an Orbán critic! You’re trusting the word of a self-serving politician over a wealth of independent evidence because it flatters your priors. — PolitiTweet.org

@ptbrennan11 Click on the first link. Read what the Chief Rabbi said and look at the replies from Hungarian speakers. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@ptbrennan11 No, you're missing the point. The word "faj" has a clear biological connotation in Hungarian, there is a reason the official translation used the word "race" and not "culture." He is claiming otherwise to sympathetic Americans to convince them that he meant what you described. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@ptbrennan11 No, it's not — he's playing on American academics not speaking Hungarian. His own advisor resigned in protest, calling it a "Nazi speech." Here's more from actual Hungarians: https://t.co/5oTZ53x0Rm https://t.co/MIDoygVEBx — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán concluded with nakedly partisan pleas for Republicans to win the White House. I mean, it doesn't get more blatant than this: https://t.co/KAdyMQrScM — PolitiTweet.org

Biggest applause line of the speech so far: "Now the West is at war with itself. We have seen what kind of a future the globalist ruling class has to offer. We have a different kind of future in mind. The globalists can all go to hell, I have come to Texas." — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán is *very* familiar with American conservative thinking. His speech has contained lines attacking "defund the police" and touting a flat tax — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán pandering to the Dallas CPAC audience: “We decided we need less genders and more Rangers, less drag queens and more Chuck Norris” — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Orbán is trying to do a kind of YouTuber "own the libs" schtick in this line, but it doesn't really land: “In Europe, they say there is no such thing as family. Because love is love, and family is family. Because if you cannot define family, there is no such thing as a family.” — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán: “The horrors of Nazism and Communism happened because some Western states in Continental Europe abandoned our Christian values. And today’s progressives are planning to do the same: they want to give up on Christian values and create a new world, a post-Western World.” — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán's speech has, so far, mostly consisted of ripping into Democrats in pure partisan terms. "They hate me and slander my country, the same way they hate and slander you," he tells the CPAC crowd. — PolitiTweet.org
