Counter-Currents
Mária Schmidt & Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán
688 words
Following the Hungary-England football match in Budapest on Thursday, September 2, during which racist abuse against the British team was reported, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson posted a tweet in which he expressed that it was “completely unacceptable that England players were racially abused in Hungary.” He then called on the FIFA football association “to take strong action against those responsible to ensure that this kind of disgraceful behaviour is eradicated from the game for good.“
The British Prime Minister’s comment was taken badly by some of the Hungarian public, and even members of the government reacted. Indeed, the atmosphere quickly deteriorated after the political — and now ritual — kneeling in favor of the extremist BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement, which was seen by the Hungarian authorities and the overwhelming majority of the Hungarian public as a provocation.
Among those who reacted was the influential Hungarian historian and businesswoman Mária Schmidt, who is close to Viktor Orbán and heads several political and historical research institutes in Hungary.
We translated her open letter, which was published on her Facebook page on September 3, 2021:
Dear Prime Minister,
I am shocked by your insensitive post condemning Hungarian supporters for their alleged racism, which demonstrates the usual British colonialist attitude. The British football players came to our capital as guests, and they infuriated Hungarian supporters with a gesture that we feel is a hypocritical move. For centuries, the British have colonized many parts of the globe, and to this day they run an elite world based on a caste system. We have never colonized anyone. This is why I advise you to play this kneeling in a country where there is a demand for it. With your deceitful and ostentatious gestures of British moralization, you do nothing to undo or redeem what has been done.

And you didn’t even yet mention that we Hungarians have never received anything good from the British. The responsibility for Trianon, as well as for the whole misguided and criminal Treaty of Versailles, was shifted by the British PR onto France over the last hundred years, but by now nobody thinks that the leading power of the world at that time, the British Empire, was ordered around by the ruined and fallen French. In 1918, the British blockade starved nearly one million Germans to death after the armistice, which would be a concern for the Germans if only they had any courage. I am just pointing out that we know about this. Just as we know that during the Second World War, millions of Indians were starved to death because their grain was taken away from them in order to give it to the superior British. Of course, you have no problem with Churchill’s racist justifications, otherwise you wouldn’t hold him up as your role model. We will never — I repeat, never — forgive you for dividing up our region together with Stalin on a cheap piece of paper in the autumn of 1944, pushing us over to Asia!
But let’s get back to football. In the European Championship final, the British were, as they have been for decades, a bunch of scumbags. They beat up several fans, and their black footballers, who missed the penalties, were subjected to racist attacks. Neither Prince William or you, who were present at the game, congratulated the victorious Italian President, which is really a boorish thing to do. So is booing the Italian national anthem. The defeated English did not wait for the result to be announced and did not pay their respects to the winners. London was puked on, pissed on, and littered by the football fans. They broke through the cordon and rushed in without tickets, all of this in pandemic times, without any controls. They behaved as usual. I am still waiting to see what punishment they will receive, because we will of course be disciplined in an exemplary manner.
Boris Johnson, you’re at the head of a small, decaying country. Get on with it and clean your own house. You’ve got a lot to do.
Mária Schmidt

Great. This woman nailed it perfectly!
What bullsh*t her letter is. Blaming British for the crimes of the Jews. This kind of deflection (and protection of our enemies), is traitorous to the white race and must stop.
Daaaaamn! Now that’s how you write a letter! Ms. Schmidt has my admiration. Boorish Johnson indeed is a fool and history will not remember him well if at all.
Absolutely disagree! She is arguing completely inside the anti-White narrative, granting that White people writ large have inflicted nothing but injury and oppression on non-Whites when the opposite is true. Rather than point out the despicable action of ANY White person or country kneeling before those whom they have infinitely enriched, she is basically saying they ARE guilty. But not us Hungarians! Well, they are considered just as “racist” as any White nation, especially since they dare turn away non-White “refugees. “
Apologies- I am typing on tiny screen and typo-ed my own name.

I hear ya, HB, and will politely disagree. Mr. Johnson came at Hungary for “racially abusing” the English players then asked for “strong action” to be taken. She clapped back about British moralizing and colonization, and she has nailed it in combining those two things. In fact, the worst thing whites have done, in my opinion, is tell the whole world we are morally superior while also insisting whites MUST accept immigrants and their customs as superior. When you think it through it makes zero sense, right? That’s not writ large, that specifically addresses the lie of the boastful blubbering of white liberals.
Johnson is a partly Jewish, partly Turkish. He’s attacking Hungarian fans on a fake basis. She’s countering on a fake basis too. It’s so tiresome.
I’d move to Hungary if the language was not so hard to learn. England is a rotting corpse. All the poison from western, especially Anglo, countries should be rejected with extreme prejudice by sane countries like those of Visegrad.
Johnson and the rest of the British establishment are complete scum, to be sure. It is hard to to tell exactly what Ms Schmidt’s political position is from this rather incoherent letter.
Absolutely agree. For all their fulminations against HATE, who are more hateful than the canting Woke British, imposing themselves on their guests and proceeding to pick a fight? Until the Left learns there are consequences to ‘fighting talk’ they will constantly up the ante — which for now, coddled by the State, they can do with impunity.
As for the Decline, yes the British Elite as presently constituted represent the forces of Anti-Life and Counter-Civilisation — radical feminism, ‘trans’, BLM, ‘decolonising the academy’ and (softly at first) anti-whiteness. They have nothing to offer the people but a slow yet accelerating national suicide.
But do not be deceived: not a few of us would gladly take Victor Orban over De Pfeffel Johnson. As the fabric of the nation rots away, those numbers will grow.
Wow! Knives out at a simple soccer game! What does the future hold? However, as an uninformed American (our teaching of history and geography is pathetic), I learned of some fairly awful things that happened at the end of WWII, which we never hear about over here, such as the blockade of Germany which resulted in a million of our racial kin being killed by starvation unnecessarily. No wonder our birth numbers are dropping — we can never, from now on, trust our own people to have our back. The “Brothers’ War” must never be repeated! And we, as the remnants of heroic Whites, must come together to fight our common ‘distractors’.
I forgot to add — “BRAVO, Hungary”! for taking England down to size, and encouraging them to re-think their horrid open borders policy, though they did have the good sense to get the hell out of the E.U. What is wrong with them now!
She never dares mentions that these features of the English game, ie pushing diversity, are literally Jewish priorities. The English governing body the FA is a Jewish club. She knows. And she knows Johnson is doing Yiddish business. But the letter is funny enough.
She’s attacking “english colonialism” while promoting “hungarian imperialism”. She’s a damn good manipulator.
1. She associates Trianon (the end of WW1) with the German tragedy (the end of WW2).
2. She acuzes English people of both plus Indian famine.
3. Only that Trianon stated the obvious. Romanians were a majority in Transylvania, Slovaks a majority in Slovakia, Croats and Serbs a majority in the southern Hungary.
4. So, the evidences and the logic is the sign of English colonialism.
I would add the following:
If supporters of BLM have the free speech right to “take a knee,” then by the same token opponents of BLM have the right to “boo.”
The ritual of “taking a knee” goes on the assumption that blacks living in European countries are somehow “oppressed.” This is absurd. Blacks have full civil rights. In the United States, blacks are a legally privileged group via such mechanisms as affirmative action and other race based preference programs.
Insofar as blacks have higher rates of incarceration and death at the hands of law enforcement, it goes squarely back to the high degree of criminality to be found among blacks. To this might be related such scientifically demonstrated factors as lower median IQ and lack of impulse control. Simply put, too many blacks have shown they can not function within the strictures of advanced European societies.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a self-proclaimed marxist-leninist front. It has been responsible (directly or indirectly) for massive criminal violence, to include looting, arson, assaults and destruction of historical memorials. One of BLM’s symbols is the clenched fist, which implies both communist revolution and political violence. Anyone who “takes a knee” is supporting what amounts to an assault against Western Civilization and thus should be subjected to public opprobrium…like being “booed.”
Virtually ever black now living in Europe is there of their own free will. They or their ancestors chose to move to Britain, France, Sweden, etc. And further, they have every opportunity to move to black majority countries from Haiti to Zimbabwe. If millions of African “refugees” can migrate from Africa and the West Indies to Europe and North America, there is no reason that those blacks who believe themselves to be subjected to “racism” can not move back to their ancestral homelands where they will enjoy the full benefits of one-man-one-vote.
Finally, I would like to ask why politicians like yourself find it so necessary to make a production out of a few “boos” on the pitch when third world migrants are wreaking havoc on your own countries via rising criminality, car burnings, sexual slavery rings, the staking out of No-Go zones and other disgraceful behaviours which otherwise go unremarked by your government.
Until you can answer these questions, “booing” anyone who “takes a knee” is completely acceptable for those who are fighting for Western Civilization.
See you in the stands.
This letter is just another version of “The Dems are the real racists”. It’s really terrible and doesn’t help the cause of Hungarians or White people at all.
Good example of Warsaw Pact boomerism, which holds as a core belief that the West is inherently racist, fascist and that the East is the victim of Western colonialism (hence we should be exempt from white guilt).
Nailed it. One advantage of listening to the FTN; you dont get cucked by those clowns. BTW this is the mainstream resistance to the degeneracy. Like in every guy above 40. I’d say it’s hopeless but that’d be gay.
As an Englishman who loves England, I have to agree with everything in that letter. Our government is corrupt. Football brings out the very worst aspects of our national culture.
As others have said better than I can say it, if footballers want to signal their virtue, they could start by kneeling in memory of the many women raped and abused by them, before kneeling in memory of a drug addled violent thug.
Her stated refusal to “forgive” puts her squarely in alignment with the dark forces she ridiculously claims to be in some moral opposition to. Go and repent. And bring “president” Biden to church with you as he claims the right to “never forgive” our enemies while angrily advocating for the murder of the unborn; all the while daring to take the sacrament.
She’s just as much on George Soros payroll as Johnson. Mores the pity. I guess these are things liberal English need to hear, just below the piety of a secular modern world the old scores have not been settled. “Our” devotion to anti racism in the Anglosphere isn’t a given in places line Czechia, Hungary, Serbia…indeed these people see right through it.
This vile anti-British woman is using exactly the same rhetoric as BLM use, that the native British are “colonialists”, “racists”, “supremacists”, etc. It reads word for word like something they would write as a hit piece against the native British.
I don’t understand how any patriotic native British person could read her nasty letter and be impressed by it, she makes it abundantly clear she despises this country and its native people and that Hungary is no friend of the British people. Counter productive in my opinion.
The letter is just intra-White warfare. One should defend oneself, but not by adopting the rhetoric of the enemy. I also see that the Hungarians managed to inject their own particular axe to grind in the discussions, where they referenced Trianon. I am biased, as I am from one of Hungary’s former subject peoples, but the idea that Hungarians did not engage in colonialism is dubious, though it is obviously different from British colonialism. Firstly, their track record in Transylvania is one of oppression of the Romanians, whose very name became a word for serf just like slave. The documents which established the rights of the nations of the region (Hungarians, German and the now-extinct-identity Szecklers) had the Romanians as a tolerated nation. Secondly, the very harsh assimilationist tactics practiced by everybody in the region against native (or long existing) minorities were pioneered by Hungary under Kossuth and targeted Germans, Romanians and everybody else. Thirdly, the Hungarians actively engaged in colonizing their hinterlands with Saxons (from a wider area than just Saxony). That is literally colonialism, though it of course took place long before the Europeans were colonizing outside Europe. Mind you, you might think that the spread of Saxons is a good thing, depending on whether you are an idealistic or pragmatic nationalist. But it was colonialism enacted by a third party, the Hungarian kings, for instrumental reasons. No different than the Brits moving Tamis en masse to Sri Lanka which led to problems later (Tamil Tigers), after the Brits were out of the picture.
Still, I agree that the BLM/taking a knee thing is idiotic, especially when it is not even a British thing.
