    There’s a combination of poverty, shame, and (misogynistic) cultural narratives that makes Hungarian men very susceptible to manosphere-adjacent toxic masculinity. They actually have their own Hungarian-language mini-manosphere, mostly on TikTok. They need a real economic change before anything else can happen, because (just like with the US) conservatism is great at finding external groups for people to foist blame for their problems on. When you remove those problems, (i.e. increasing education, increasing wealth, increasing access to healthcare, etc) people become less conservative.
