What about Ukraine? He basically went full dictator by purging opposing parties and speech.

But, tell me more what happened with Hungary?

I assume negativity towards them is due to the EU wanting to screw them over (well the marketing behind that anyway), but there could be something real there, I'd like to know.

On the right? A bit yea, but most of the left is encourging violence against speech, a disturbing amount celebrate silencing speech via murder, and some are even outright calling to kill peoole for their speech (See:Destiny).

I'm all in for free speech, but not consequence free speech. Celebrating and encouraging violence is not to be tolerated. And I hope we can get there not with laws, but culture.

I'm not saying I have the answers, but the violence must not be allowed to continue.

Again, I prefer culture to law, but I'm open to it.
