I was negociating with AI for an hour or more to create some of the initiation scenes of a Mithras sanctuary. As nudity is not really allowed, this was the "best" I could do.

Orbán Viktor yesterday went beyond any acceptable limits: no Christians and no conservatives should tolerate this.
He named his political enemies as “bugs” (“poloska”) which need to be “cleaned”.
Similar political discourse was made in 1942 by Szálasi Ferenc.
Nobody should tolerate this.
