>Orban says nothing about Europe.

Hungary is literally in Europe. If Orban says nothing about Europe, then nothing can ever say anything about Europe.

Your country is choosing to stay in a union with Orban's. If EU membership is meaningless, as you imply, it should be easy for your country to quit in order to make a point about Hungary.

so are the Vatican and Andorra and Belarus, so all of Europe is theocratic and/or a kleptocracy?

Because the benefits far outweigh the association with that pigshit, who will also die some day. Also, the EU can and does exert influence over countries, so some of Orban's excesses can be curbed.

All of the places we're discussing are part of Europe, so insofar as any place can be said to "say something about" Europe, each says something about it.

One could make similar arguments for staying in the US. Trump is 79; Orban is 62.
