I've never listened to them, but they're one of my favorite bands.
Edit: Just had a listen. Fuck yeah.

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.

If you listen to them they'll cement that status.
In the face of creeping, walking, and runaway fascism, they're Punk as fuck.
They're putting it on the line and not backing down.
Their conviction reminds me of Pussy Riot.
Never heard of them until I watched a documentary on a plane about them, pretty cool
They have a plane about them? That is impressive.
Dad, how'd you get on Lemmy
I saw the movie also called Kneecap about them, it was fun
Lol, banned from Hungary is a badge of honour. Orban doesn't get to lecture anyone on anything.
CEARTA
“Is cuma liom sa foc faoi aon gharda!”
(I don’t give a fuck about any cop)
I’ve been listening to these guys for years, and thanks to the Streisand effect, Bob Vylan is now in my playlist too. Death death to the IDF
Did the band a favor, stopping them from entering a shithole.
Now do everyone in, and in support of, the Likud party.
Current outgoing Orbán govt is sucking Bibi's dick, the incoming govt is not going to be any better on this issue, the best you can expect is ignorance from them I imagine.
Ironically, in Hungary the only party in open opposition of Israel is the further-than-Orbán far-right, because they hate Jews and kinda like traditionalist Turks for some reason.
the incoming govt
You got some inside knowledge on Magyar and how his Gvment is expected to be for Hungarians?
He is not taking stances on a lot of issues on purpose, he's fighting against a propaganda machine that makes Fox look like an amateur. It was able to destroy a previous challenger because he said "Hungary must implement the joint decision of NATO. So, if NATO decides to support Ukraine with weapons, of course [Hungary] will support it."
He seems to be economically progressive while culturally conservative and strongly euro-atlanticist. He refused to lean into progressive culture war issues, his stance was basically "we will restore the right of assembly that should guarantee people being free to do Pride, but I'm not going to go to it, or support Pride specifically". On the other hand, he is proposing wealth taxes, very strong anti-corruption measures, more funding for education and healthcare, support for small businesses, stronger worker's rights and unions, a right to data privacy from both corps and the government, a focus on train transit and other stuff like this for example.
About Israel vs. Palestine, he might support Israel just because that is the traditional Western stance, but I expect he will just abstain from votes there, or rather support whatever the EU consensus is.
Hungary is in a weird place with the Gaza genocide because Budapest has a very large Jewish population compared to a lot of other places, and they have an outsized influence on Hungarian politics as they are traditionally overrepresented in the cultural elite. And as I hear from people there, every Jewish family has the "idiotic bigoted uncle, that would be the weird conspiracy theorist Nazi in a non-Jewish family, but in Jewish family, they will be hardcore Zionists or straight-up settlers. This then makes the Gaza issue complicated and hard to take a side on for most of these people."
Tnx for your elaborate reaction.
I hope a new Gvment can (slowly) help Hungary in a more " democratic" direction.
Concerning the Jewish families in Budapest, I imagine that similar constituent pressures might be found in several countries. Doesn't help finding a solution, nor does it attribute to take a clear stance against Bibi as a country.
Though Netanyahu should be send to the ICJ in The Hague, but ofc Israel, USA and others don't recognise the court.

Neither does Hungary since a month ago by the way
a right to data privacy from both corps and the government
how? are they bringing back non-digital bus passes as an option? like it was before lázár outlawed it
Nope, they want to tear down the DÁP and make something that is auditable.
why, what's the problem with DÁP? it even allows standard 2FA so you don't need the app, unlike more "modern" EU countries.
Mostly a general distrust towards the government. There was that time when they harvested everyone's email addresses for the vaccines, then blasted propaganda on them if you remember.
But I also think DÁP is kinda okay, except there was no reason on having Ügyfélkapu+ then, changing the system twice in as many years. It's mostly a promise to get voters from Mi Hazánk, and I agree with the basic premise even though I am not a lunatic.
yeah I agree about that, gov apps pushed so hard are always suspicious. perhaps not now, but they will be used for things that are questionable at best. not just this government, but any government anywhere. but I thank god its not mandatory. like, I had some discussions with other lemmitors who live in some of the northern countries where there is no option to use standard time based codes for 2FA, the app is a hard requirement, avoiding it makes lots of different kinds of administrative tasks very time consuming, and if your phone is not google approved (rooted, or just installed a rootless clean rom like even grapheneos), it will outright refuse to work.
