Dear Tisza supporters, your beloved country will cost you even the shirts off your backs — and even if you don’t believe it, it will still happen. Just trust your own eyes already.
For example, here’s little Gábor, and here’s Vaszilij. Because of the two of them, we would have to pay 36,000 forints a year in taxes if Tisza’s grand economic plan came to life. But that’s not even the worst part. Let’s stick to the most ordinary concerns of everyday people: when you’re sad because Tisza is turning this into a shitty country, how will you get drunk at home in silence if booze becomes so expensive that you won’t even be able to buy a bottle of La Fiesta?
Of course, the comment-prime-minister’s marketing agent has already stated that this is all lies, none of it is true — but soon you will experience on your own skin that they’ll strip not only the country, but every single Hungarian down to the bone. It’s written down, black and white.
Naturally, we all knew what the official explanation of the Savior would be: that the Fidesz actually wrote and leaked this, and that this economic plan doesn’t even exist. But the truth is: this economic plan does exist — and it will ruin your lives.
You can sling mud at us as much as you like — we still won’t let them turn this wonderful country into a poor, slum-ridden Hungary.
1️⃣ Vision of Total Impoverishment
“…you’ll even lose the shirt on your back…”
It predicts absolute, irreversible disaster.
There is no condition, no “if,” no alternative.
👉 Goal: paralyzing fear, not rational evaluation.
2️⃣ Fictional Example (“Gáborka and Vaszilij”)
“…36,000 forints in taxes per year after the two of them…”
A number that looks precise → illusion of credibility.
No source, no law, no calculation shown.
👉 Technique: number-mysticism + relatable characters = “this will happen to you.”
3️⃣ Lifestyle Humiliation
“…how will you get drunk at home…”
The voter is infantilized and reduced to an alcoholic caricature.
Not economic policy — cultural contempt.
👉 Message: “You are not a citizen, you are driven by primitive impulses.”
4️⃣ Pre-emptive Neutralization of Fact-Checking
“…the marketing agent PM will say it’s a lie…”
Any rebuttal is discredited in advance.
Whatever comes later automatically becomes “excuse.”
👉 One of propaganda’s strongest shields.
5️⃣ “Written Black and White” — Without a Source
Classic mythical-document rhetoric:
no page
no title
no link
👉 The narrative of a “secret but absolutely real paper.”
6️⃣ Messianic Framing
“…the official explanation of The Saviour…”
Religious metaphor → cult-like logic.
Dissent = lack of faith, not a rational stance.
👉 Polarization: “We are the enlightened ones.”
7️⃣ Moral Self-Absolution & Hero Posturing
“…we still won’t let it happen…”
Our side = heroic, morally superior.
Other side = “slum Hungary.”
👉 Moral blackmail: if you’re not with us, you’re against the country.
🧠 Overall Picture
This is not journalism. It’s:
- fear-mongering
- dehumanization
- stacking unsubstantiated claims
- building immunity against criticism
The goal isn’t persuasion — it’s triggering reflexes:
Anger. Shame. Fear.
And ultimately, obedience/loyalty.
