We are interested in the opinions of the Hungarian people; we don’t want to carry out orders from Brussels.
We’re out leafleting with my friend and helper, Miki. We’re here in Káposztásmegyer, and the flyer is about the “Red Mailbox,” because here in Káposztásmegyer we’re also collecting the opinions, advice, ideas, and development suggestions of the people who live here.
Because we care about what Hungarian families think. And the opposition — what do they respond to? Orders and requests from Brussels. They would carry out anything, since that’s where it all comes from anyway.
🔴 1️⃣ “We are curious” – fake participation (fake listening)
Technique: performative democracy / pseudo-consultation
- “we are curious”
- “we are collecting opinions”
- “ideas, suggestions”
👉 On the surface, it looks like inclusion.
In reality, there is no feedback loop and no decision-making power.
This is not dialogue but set dressing: people are reduced to props that legitimize a prewritten message.
🔴 2️⃣ “Hungarian people vs. Brussels” – tribal division
Technique: us vs. them framing
- “Hungarian people”
- “Hungarian families”
↔ “Brussels orders”
👉 A false choice is constructed:
- either you are with us, or
- you serve Brussels
There is no third option:
- policy debate ❌
- details ❌
- concrete decisions ❌
Only identity.
🔴 3️⃣ The opposition as a remote-controlled puppet
Technique: puppet framing / delegitimization
“What does the opposition respond to? To orders from Brussels.”
❗ What is never stated:
- who gave the order
- when
- about what
- where this is written
👉 This is not a claim but an insinuation.
The goal is to deny the opposition any independent thinking.
🔴 4️⃣ “We are here” – creating a sense of territorial dominance
Technique: territorial presence signaling
- “we are here in Káposztásmegyer”
- “we are collecting here as well”
👉 Message to the subconscious:
- “we are everywhere”
- “we are the normal ones”
- “this is reality”
This is psychological presence, not information.
🔴 5️⃣ Friend + helper – imitation of authenticity
Technique: everyman authenticity
- “my friend Miki”
- “my helper”
👉 Framed as an informal, non-official activity:
“just people talking.”
In reality: a coordinated political message, disguised as grassroots civility.
🎯 The big picture – what is this really?
❌ Not awakening
❌ Not listening
❌ Not dialogue
✅ A pre-manufactured narrative, where:
- “the people” are just extras
- the answer is already written
- the opponent is illegitimate by default
This is not curiosity.
It is directed loyalty production.
