“Take a look at how intelligence is overflowing.
Yesterday I introduced you to János, who poses on Facebook in a T-shirt depicting a hanged Orbán. Now let me introduce you to another intelligent voter from Tisza: Lajos. Lajos is the one who has been commenting under several of my posts that he’s waiting for me to show one of my body parts. ‘Flash a muff,’ as he puts it.
Now, you might reasonably ask me why I’m once again bringing up such an idiot from the other side. Well, exactly because we’ve just returned from the anti-war rally in Kaposvár. And the thing is, one can legitimately ask why the right organizes programs for itself every weekend, and why right-wing people gather—especially now, in the final stretch of the campaign—to meet each other, talk, and listen to the politicians they want to see leading the country.
And this is precisely why. There is such a huge need for this kind of intellectual cleansing, or intellectual boost, that these meetings provide. Because in everyday life we’re consumed by social media; we spend most of our time there. And the result is that we might start to believe that in Hungary there are more people like this Lajos and János—people who are this sick, with such sick ideas—and that all sense of Hungarian identity, intelligence, and basic humanity has completely died out in them.
Then the weekend comes, we gather—each time in a different city—and what used to happen once, or at most twice a year at the Peace March now happens every single weekend at these anti-war rallies. Because when you go there, you meet kind-hearted, friendly, smiling people, who are even capable—when the opportunity arises—of asking intelligent, thoughtful, normal questions of their prime minister.
You see, this is what has held this entire community together for a long time now. The fact that we don’t spend most of our time writing filthy, hateful comments at the other side. Instead, we work, raise children, run households, build our lives. And when such an opportunity comes along, we go out on the weekends, meet each other, and have good conversations at these anti-war rallies or in any right-wing community.
Because that’s who we are. And that’s why, no matter how much the other side flails, no matter how many laughing emojis they hand out, no matter how aggressive they are, and no matter how hard they try to wage some kind of psychological warfare on people—it won’t succeed. Because they don’t have what we have.
They don’t know that feeling. That sense of spiritual superiority, that inner peace, that happy awareness of how good it is to be Hungarian today—how good it is to be born Hungarian, how good it feels to be proud of being Hungarian—while still being able to get ahead in life, being allowed to live, even receiving help if you want it. And on top of that, having a prime minister who looks out for the interests of Hungarian people, rather than selling the country off to whichever multinational or EU leader happens to be next in line.
That is an incredibly reassuring feeling. I hope we’ll be able to feel it for a long time to come.
People like Lajos, on the other hand, will be stuck in the comments forever. You’re miserable. Every last one of you.
Tisza commenters vs. the right-wing community.
There’s a difference between the two that’s hard to miss. That’s exactly why anti-war rallies and right-wing community events are so necessary. Because they feel extremely comfortable on social media and create the illusion that their stupid, aggressive behavior is the majority.
But it’s not. In Hungary, sane people are still in the majority.
And in April, we’ll prove that with numbers 😉😉😉😉”
🎭 1. Apparent message (surface level)
The speech claims that:
- “Tisza” commenters are primitive, sick, and aggressive,
- the right-wing community, by contrast, is intelligent, moral, hard-working, and family-oriented,
- social media presents a distorted picture, while in reality “we are the majority,”
- anti-war rallies provide intellectual and moral purification,
- the country’s leader (Viktor Orbán) represents the interests of Hungarian people, not those of “multinationals” or “Brussels.”
This is the storefront.
🎯 2. The REAL function (unspoken)
This is not argumentation, but identity-reinforcing and exclusionary propaganda.
The purpose of the text is to:
- deepen the us-versus-them divide,
- dehumanize the opponent (“sick,” “miserable”),
- convey a sense of moral superiority within one’s own camp,
- invalidate criticism on psychological grounds (it’s not untrue because it can be refuted, but because “they” are the ones saying it).
🧩 3. Propaganda and manipulation techniques used
1️⃣ Isolated extreme examples → generalization
“János,” “Lajos” – sexual, aggressive comments
➡️ Classic cherry-picking:
a few unacceptable comments are magnified into a collective identity.
“This is what the other side is like.”
Not evidence, but character assassination at the group level.
2️⃣ Moral superiority narrative
“we work, raise children, run households”
➡️ Implied message:
- if you’re critical → you don’t work,
- if you’re in the opposition → you don’t have a family,
- if you comment → you’re immoral.
This is self-justifying identity construction, not fact.
3️⃣ Community ecstasy as a substitute for truth
“kind-hearted, smiling people,” “intellectual boost,” “happy awareness”
➡️ The communal experience becomes emotional proof.
But:
- good feelings are not a criterion of truth,
- belonging does not refute valid criticism.
This is emotional reinforcement, not rationality.
4️⃣ Psychologizing the enemy
“they use psychological warfare”
➡️ The trick:
- every criticism → attack,
- every question → aggression,
- every opposing opinion → manipulation.
This creates a closed system:
anyone outside is malicious by definition.
5️⃣ Nation = political camp
“how good it is to be Hungarian today”
➡️ The implication:
- the “good Hungarian” = us,
- anyone not with us → less Hungarian.
This is identity appropriation, a classic populist element.
6️⃣ Pre-announced electoral validation
“in April we’ll prove it with numbers 😉”
➡️ Announced victory in advance =
psychological pressure + self-fulfilling narrative.
Not analysis, but a mobilizing act of belief.
🧠 4. The most important UNSTATED sentence of the speech
“It doesn’t matter what you say – it matters who you are.”
This is the essence of propaganda.
If:
- “they” say it → sick, aggressive,
- “we” say it → moral, true.
This is not politics, but tribal thinking.
⚠️ 5. What is the real danger?
Not that someone builds a community.
But that:
- critical thinking = betrayal,
- a question = an attack,
- the opponent = less than human.
From here on, there is no debate – only loyalty tests.
🧩 Closing summary – in one sentence
This text is not about what is true,
but about who belongs to us – and who does not count as human.
