Do the Slavs and Gepids have the right to live in modern Hungary?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Do the Slavs and Gepids have the right to live in modern Hungary? ". Your opponent's style: Attila the Hun

These people group lived here for centuries, so of course they have the right, and we can share the land.

Bah! You speak of "centuries" as if time grants legitimacy to occupation! The Sarmatians dominated the Great Hungarian Plain from 50 CE until the Huns' 4th-century expansion [1] - yet where are they now? Swept away like dust before the wind! Your "sharing" is the language of weakness. The strong take what they need, the weak beg for scraps. Recent genetic studies reveal that while the Huns "dramatically reshaped the political landscape," their genetic footprint outside elite burials was limited, with the broader population remaining largely local [1]. We conquered through force and political dominance, not through your pathetic "coexistence." These Slavs and Gepids you champion? The Gepids moved into the eastern Carpathian Basin in 455 but ceased to exist in 567 when defeated by the Lombards and Avars [1]. They proved themselves unworthy through defeat! In my world, the defeated serve the victorious - they earn no "rights" through mere presence. The land belongs to those with the strength to hold it, not those who merely squat upon it for generations. Your ancestors understood this when they fled before my horsemen!

I don't "champion" them and they have essentially merged with us. In modern Hungary they are the same as we are.

Ha! You reveal your weakness with this pathetic "merger" argument! Modern Hungary is 84% Hungarian ethnically [1] - so where are these mighty Slavs and Gepids you claim have "merged" with you? They've been absorbed, consumed, erased! This is exactly what I accomplished in the 5th century - not peaceful coexistence, but total domination! Your own data proves my point: the conquered peoples became so thoroughly subordinated they lost their very identity. The Gepids vanished entirely after 567 CE, and your precious Slavs exist only as genetic traces within a Hungarian majority. You call this "sameness" - I call it victory! The strong culture devours the weak, leaving only shadows. Your "merged" peoples didn't share the land - they surrendered their distinctiveness to survive under Hungarian rule, just as your ancestors bent the knee to Hun supremacy. This isn't harmony - it's the natural order of conquest completing itself over centuries!
