LIBERAL COLLEGE MEDIA and THE CONDEMNATION OF HUNGARY - OPINION by MAGYAR-AMERICAN

The last few months have been hard on me physically.  No - not Covid.  I'm vaccinated and have taken a booster. I also took the seasonal flu vaccine which had four types of virus in it.

It's that a few months ago I accepted a part time job that was offered to me out of the blue.  Seriously, I got a phone call to show up at a place where I've been volunteering one afternoon a week and that day I started as a paid worker. (Since then the job has been typified by the director who hired me as "a favor" and this person also tried to get me to get paid for four days a week and continue working for free on the fifth.) 

Perhaps no one was honest with me about how hard it would be on me physically because one afternoon a week I showed myself to be energetic and get things done and no one thought that doing so five afternoons a week would leave me aching and exhausted.  But everyone, including me myself, told me that I would get used to it in a couple weeks. At this point it's between me and God, but I strive every work day to complete all tasks but have grown a bit resentful that others are not concerned that I do so much of the work.  

Then came the news that for one month only I would be paid much more and for full time work and that for the holiday season two more part timers would be added. One is sweet but takes no initiative and does not put herself out. That means that she is supposedly trying to prove herself and doesn't mind that I do most of the work - the gambit being that she only does what she is told so she can drive the manager crazy with having to direct her constantly. The other is high energy and capable of much more than I am physically but has also managed to be too take charge for the tastes of the manager.  Yesterday the manager told me that they would not be keeping either of these workers after the holidays. Did I say "I want to quit?"  I did not. And every day there seems to be some problem that could be avoided with better communication - in particular instructions.

I have barely had time for myself and worse, barely enough time for my dog, who is now occasionally lifting her leg in the house and is no doubt suffering with anxiety, even though she does have a doggie door!

So while I've been able to save some money, the price I've paid physically may not be worth it.  As I lay awake with pains, I wonder what's next for me.

I want to quit or be fired or laid off or whatever, knowing I will not be able to collect unemployment.  Will I be one more American saying Take This Job and Shove It?

What does this have to do with LIBERAL COLLEGE MEDIA and the CONDEMNATION OF HUNGARY?  Well, I'll tell you.  Exhausted physically, but stressed mentally and emotionally, I have needed sleep and been unable to sleep, my thoughts winding up inside my head with worries about my future and the future.  And so what do I do?  I put on the radio.

I had not listened to the local college programing in recent months, and you know that many college stations carry National Public Radio.  Some colleges also broadcast their own programming on campus.  College - where young minds may be influenced for life.

I wish I had taken note of the station, time, name of the program, and the host/broadcaster, as I would then report these to you, but I listened to some programs that were so anti-White people I actually felt alarmed. Hungary as a country, deemed "conservative" compared to ? American College Campus, was pointed out as going backward, not in the direction of progress or progressiveness.  I don't suppose many college students care to learn about Hungary - the culture - the history - the people. There was also some pro-Palestinian and anti-Jewish programing in which it was said that the Palestinian people were aligning with Black Lives Matter!  Is this even true? 

I fear that these broadcasters know their agenda well but don't care to learn about European history or culture in general or in particular.  I myself consider Hungary (and some other countries) to be more "conservative" than America in general, however, I also know that in Europe people have reminders of the wars that decimated populations wherever they go. Many Europeans do not have the assumed standard of living American's have, the variety of foods, the ownership of personal transportation, or the size of dwelling or apartment.  I wish some of these broadcasters could travel and try living in a European country because they might just come back feeling their privileges. They might understand also the allegiance European-Americans feel to the people of their heritage.

HCCC ORG 

Wow!  The have a chandelier that looks like the crown of Saint Stephen and Santa Claus looks like Santa Claus...

Excerpt:   From autumn to spring during the Ball Season, the Cultural Centre and the Hungarian partner associations organize balls and entertainment on various Saturday nights, where children and adults of the Greater Toronto audience can have fun, have an ample Hungarian dinner, and dance to live Hungarian music.

In addition, other cultural events (such as Literature Day, Hungarian Day), clubs (Cooking Club, Film Club, Pensioners Club) and performances/lectures (such as Semmelweis Memorial Day) are organized in the Hungarian House in such a manner as to provide an audience, of the widest possible interests, with entertaining and valuable programs.
