🤡🤡 Péter Magyar accuses the civic side and Fidesz supporters of violence and aggression. What a clown!
There are always absurd moments in politics—this campaign included. In fact, ever since Péter Magyar appeared on the scene, Hungarian domestic politics has been full of nothing but absurd moments. But it is always unmatched when Péter Magyar and his hate-driven sect accuse supporters of the civic side of aggression and violence.
What has been happening since the recent campaign stop in Győr is quite astonishing. What they are doing within their “hate bubble” is unbelievable. I will post a few links here in the comments to videos that were recorded in Győr.
👉 Main narrative:
“They (Magyar Péter and his circle) = aggressive, hateful”
“We = victims, the normal side”
👉 Hidden formula:
outrage + mockery + enemy framing + moral superiority
→ “anger is justified → even the idea of aggression feels justified”
🔍 Influence techniques
1️⃣ Mockery and dehumanization (mockery + devaluation)
👉 Excerpt:
“🤡🤡 … The biggest clown!”
👉 Technique:
➡️ does not argue the claim → makes the person ridiculous
➡️ “clown” = not worth taking seriously
👉 Goal:
👉 don’t analyze → reject reflexively
👉 Effect:
👉 rational thinking decreases, emotional reaction increases
2️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)
👉 Excerpt:
“hate sect”, “hate bubble”
👉 Technique:
➡️ an entire group is framed as uniformly “bad”
➡️ “sect” (religious tone) → irrational, dangerous
👉 Goal:
👉 don’t see individuals → see a hostile mass
👉 Effect:
👉 polarization → “us vs. them”
3️⃣ Absurd framing (absurdization)
👉 Excerpt:
“there are only absurd moments”
👉 Technique:
➡️ presents the whole phenomenon as ridiculous and unreal
➡️ avoids factual debate
👉 Goal:
👉 delegitimize the entire side
👉 Effect:
👉 “you can’t argue with these people” feeling
4️⃣ Accusation inversion (moral reversal)
👉 Excerpt:
“they accuse others of aggression → but they are the aggressive ones”
👉 Technique:
➡️ classic reversal: throw back the same accusation
➡️ without evidence
👉 Goal:
👉 discredit the criticism
👉 Effect:
👉 confusion → “so who is actually aggressive?”
5️⃣ Anger amplification (emotional escalation)
👉 Excerpt:
“absolutely outrageous”, “always unsurpassable”
👉 Technique:
➡️ stacking exaggerated expressions
➡️ little concrete detail, lots of emotion
👉 Goal:
👉 maximize outrage
👉 Effect:
👉 exactly what you described:
👉 “I get angry / aggressive thoughts appear”
6️⃣ Evidence baiting (illusion of proof)
👉 Excerpt:
“I’ll post some video links”
👉 Technique:
➡️ creates a sense of “there is proof”
➡️ but none is shown yet
👉 Goal:
👉 create an illusion of credibility
👉 Effect:
👉 the reader believes it → without verification
⚠️ What’s happening inside you (important)
The reaction:
👉 “I’d most like to hit him”
is not accidental, but a target outcome of the text:
➡️ triggering anger
➡️ dehumanizing the opponent
➡️ creating moral justification (“he deserves it”)
This is the classic chain:
👉 anger → justification → idea of aggression
🧩 In short
This text does not inform, it:
➡️ mocks
➡️ constructs an enemy
➡️ amplifies emotions
➡️ legitimizes anger
👉 And that’s exactly why it works.
