    This article contains a shitton of falsehoods and omissions. The tankies were wrong.

    Király was not a fascist. He served in the Royal Hungarian Army as a career soldier, joining after his father before the rise of fascism.

    He did indeed serve in the invasion army of the fascistic Horthy regime as a captain, and he was indeed put in command of Jewish slave labourers, for which he received the Righteous Among the Nations accolades, as he treated them as humanely as the situation allowed, defying his orders, risking execution.

    He was kept on with the Hungarian People’s Army, promoted by the communist leadership multiple times. He married Gömbös’ niece under Communist rule, way after it would have been politically advatageous. Despite that, he was put in command of the Hungarian participation of Stalin’s planned invasion of Yugoslavia.

    He fell out of favour after the invasion was cancelled and was caught up in one of Rákosi’s purges, and he spent the three years after in abysmal conditions until the 56 revolution. He got out a month before because of the buildup to the revolution had some political prisoners released. He spent the next month until the revolution in hospital.

    The Nagy provisional government asked him to organise the defense against the Soviet invasion, which he tried and understandably failed. He then left for the US along with hundreds of thousands, and got a job as a CIA trainer for Cuban anti-communist insurgents, which got him in the JFK files.

    Then the Putin government put those files out and started a coordinated propaganda campaign to whitewash the genocide and rape the USSR committed.

    BTW I’m a leftist and think the CIA is the scum of the earth on par with the SS, but let’s stick to the facts.



  • Yeah but it seems they are being rented by people in plain clothes, as apparently several companies are already trying to refuse.

    In particular one truck rental place was named that they were complaining that their trucks are not for transporting people in the cargo space.

    In any case, if I rent a car where I live, and run a red light, commit a speeding offence, park illegally and get it towed, what usually happens is that the car gets treated the same way as any other car, the owning rental company gets charged and fined, and then they put on massive fees and forward the problem to me.

    Why can’t they just pull over the vehicle, impound it, and have everything happen like it would with anyone else?
