This is what the staff of the North Pest Fidesz office were greeted with this morning. Someone was hanged.

I have never committed a crime in my life. Speeding and illegal parking might be the worst things I’ve ever done.

Perhaps the person behind this idea could explain why they think I deserve such a fate?

They could also write when and in what form they are planning executions in the event of a government change (which neither I nor about 3 million others want).

I would at least prepare my family at home…

🧠 Quick situation overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “They want to kill us”
  • “We = victims”
  • “They = a violent, extremist crowd”
  • “Election = life-threatening danger vs. safety”

👉 Hidden formula:

spectacular incident + immediate interpretation + dramatization + generalization
→ “what you see = a systemic threat”

🔍 What is actually happening in it?

1️⃣ Maximizing the victim role (victim framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“They hanged someone.”

👉 Technique:

  • extreme, shocking wording
  • no context (what actually happened?)

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate emotional reaction (shock + sympathy)

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t think → you react

2️⃣ Dramatic exaggeration (catastrophizing)

👉 Excerpt:
“when they plan… the executions”

👉 Technique:

  • a single (unknown) event → escalated into full future terror
  • no evidence, only assumption

👉 Goal:
➡️ fear induction

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if they come → I’m in danger”

3️⃣ Turning the opponent into a collective enemy (group blaming)

👉 Excerpt:
“a government change not wanted by about 3 million people”

👉 Technique:

  • one incident → linked to millions of people
  • the opponent = potential “executioners”

👉 Goal:
➡️ sharp division between camps

👉 Effect:
➡️ “they are dangerous, not just one person”

4️⃣ Moral contrast (moral framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“I have never committed a crime in my life”

👉 Technique:

  • “innocent person vs. brutal attackers”
  • black-and-white framing

👉 Goal:
➡️ building moral superiority

👉 Effect:
➡️ automatic identification with the speaker

5️⃣ Involving the family (emotional escalation)

👉 Excerpt:
“I would prepare my family at home…”

👉 Technique:

  • personal, intimate dimension
  • extending fear to family

👉 Goal:
➡️ even stronger emotional engagement

👉 Effect:
➡️ anxiety + defensive reflex

⚠️ What is important to notice

👉 It does NOT contain:

  • evidence about the perpetrator
  • context (what actually happened?)
  • a proportional reaction

👉 It DOES contain:

  • immediate political framing
  • maximum dramatization
  • generalization to an entire group

🧩 Underlying strategy

This is typically:

👉 moral panic + mobilization

Formula:

incident (real or manipulated)
→ emotional shock
→ “they are like this”
→ “we must unite”

💬 About your intuition

What you wrote (“fake”, “deliberate provocation”):

👉 this is a possible interpretation,
but important:

  • it cannot be proven from this text alone
  • however, it is clear that the communication amplifies tension

⚠️ An important boundary

Saying someone is “trying to get themselves beaten” →
that is already an escalatory line of thinking.

👉 And that is exactly what texts like this aim to trigger.

🧠 In short

👉 This text:

  • does not inform
  • it emotionally manipulates

👉 Main tools:

  • fear
  • exaggeration
  • enemy construction
  • personal drama
