Were you surprised to learn that Cato are neoliberal shills? Water is wet too.
As for Soros, you mean the finacial speculator and policy influence middleman? Yeah, such a paragon for democracy and openess.
Yes, Orban is supported directly by Trump, Thiel, and company. The elites at large however, before, during, and after Trump do not support him that much. As for Thiel, I'm not sure whether he likes or dislikes Orban, but that's irrelevant, as he has his grabby hands in Europe already anyway.
Orban might be a bs populist, but the basic idea, of putting national sovereignity first, and dismantling all the crap influence of the neoliberal AND liberal global establishment is solid. Trump got elected for something like that, before pissing all over it with his neocon/neoliberal hawk friends. Even Bernie got high on a similar ticket, before the Dems gutted him and he put his tail between his legs.
>As TFA points out, the experiment has been run, and it leads to ruin. That's just facts.
Well, if an article says it, I guess there's no denying it. Articles, after all, are facts, and can't have their own agendas. Especially from a think tank as neutral and with such a great track record as Cato.
Orban is bad (for all the wrong reasons), but you know who Cato loves (for all the wrong reasons again)? Neoliberal useful idiot Millei:

- consumer451 7mo agoWhy is your argument so 100% this side, or 100% that side? It's giving major "Genocide Joe" -> Trump victory energy. Cato used to be the something like the ultimate devil in my mind, they still are to some extent based on their origins, but things have gotten so much worse that they actually posted a rational argument. Do their origins mean that I have to be so tribalist that I cannot agree with one of their posts? I live near Hungary, and see the effects of Orbanists daily. Did you actually read TFA? It's a downright flogging of the ideas behind Project 2025/Heritage Foundation/MAGA philosophy. Could you please, for a moment, take the win?
