Maybe EU should show themselves as being the preferable ally instead of trying to force them. Maybe this only serves to push Hungary further away

They already were. Hungary was getting billions in funding from EU.

Hungary voted to join in 2003 when non-EU migration was lower, gay marriage was almost universally illegal, the internet was a bunch of freewheeling discussion forums without Trust and Safety teams, and transgenderism was rarely mentioned except when mainstream TV was mocking it for laughs.

But you're right--countries that desire cultural self-determination will have to become financially independent of the Euro-American sphere.

EUs biggest concern is rule of law yet you had to inject your homophobia and transphobia for no reason.

What an easily triggerable snowflake.

Eu with the neoliberal values will never be preferable ally to authoritarian wannabe dictators. I don't know if you make this argument in bad faith or are just ignorant but joining eu country agrees to adhere to certain democratic standards.

Sure but that doesn't explain why more and more of the world is seemingly growing sick and tired of EU and western society.

Buddy, that would be a godsend for western europe lmao.

Hungary is the kid you adopted at 15, only to realize he's a meth head and you're stuck with him by law.

If it was up to western europe, Hungary would have been yeeted yesterday.
