What I mean is that the will of the people is generally evil. Liberty has traditionally been a better bulwark against the despotism of the majority than authoritarianism because a prosperous people tend to mind their own affairs, but proles should be managed by whatever means.

Please watch the video, I think you'll find it interesting if you're not familiar with Schmitt. I agree with your very last point... in the context of EU dictating culture/policy to Hungary, what is in the interests of the Hungarian nation is what matters.

If economics have become a form of warfare by other means in a post nuclear world then the fact that there are clear winners and losers is not a radically different or new hardship. The people of Hungary just lost, and they should get over it. I will gladly watch, however.

Yes if EU wants to dictate terms to Hungary, they probably can and will, by wielding whatever power they have. But at some point these regimes will have to get their comeuppance not for wielding power but making bad choices..pushing degenerate policy upon their subjects

Wishful thinking. You're welcome to it.

I don't mean in our lifetime even... or for example by another empire like China. All civilizations fall, and usually after decadence. This is what I mean... you disagree?

Yes. Or rather, your conception of decadence is too broad, as is also the case with most historians who reason in that style. Dysgenics and relaxation of true moral standards is never good, but not all extant moral standards are equal or even valid.

If China succeeds it will be on the strength of Han supremacy, not their philosophy. Their leaders are murdering their philosophy as leaders everywhere are doing.
