🇭🇺 THANK YOU TO Alexandra Szentkirályi FOR HER SUPPORT ✌️

“North Pest now needs representation that doesn’t just talk about problems, but also offers solutions. Someone who works wholeheartedly for the district, and for whom the safety of local residents and development are not just slogans, but daily responsibilities.

I personally know Balázs well, and I know exactly that he will work for the constituency with the same determination and relentless work ethic with which he has served our community so far. He is not the type to settle for empty promises: he is a man of action who, when he sees a problem, immediately looks for a solution.

He is a leader who has proven many times that he is capable of organizing even the most complex tasks, and knows how to give real momentum to a community. He believes that our future is built on security, predictability, and visible development. I can confidently say that Balázs not only understands the concerns of local residents, but also has the experience to effectively represent their interests.

He will work with full commitment to make North Pest an even more livable home for families. That is why in North Pest, Balázs Németh is the safe choice!”

🧡 Go Budapest! Go North Pest!

🧠 What is actually happening in this message?

👉 Main narrative

  • “there is a strong, reliable person”
  • “he solves problems”
  • “security + development = him”
  • “you should vote for him”

👉 Hidden formula:
credibility (external endorsement) + emotion + competence + security
→ “you don’t need to think → just trust him”


🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Appeal to authority (authority endorsement)

👉 Excerpt:
“THANK YOU for the support of Szentkirályi Alexandra”
“I personally know Balázs…”

👉 Technique:

  • a well-known politician provides a “guarantee”
  • emphasizes personal relationship

👉 Goal:

👉 Effect:
➡️ you evaluate the supporter instead of the candidate


2️⃣ Character building without evidence (empty virtue signaling)

👉 Excerpt:
“works with heart and soul”
“a man of action”
“relentless work ethic”

👉 Excerpt:
“not just talks… offers solutions”
“if he sees a problem, he immediately looks for a solution”

  • implicit comparison with other politicians
  • “he is different, better”

👉 Goal:
➡️ devalue alternatives

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t ask: what solutions? how?


4️⃣ Vague, universal values (vague positive framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“security,” “development,” “predictability”

➡️ everyone projects their own meaning into it


5️⃣ Illusion of competence

👉 Excerpt:
“has proven it countless times”
“can organize complex tasks”

  • servant-leader image

👉 Goal:
➡️ trust + emotional connection

👉 Effect:
➡️ voting becomes a personal matter

👉 Excerpt:
“a more livable home for families”
“security”

👉 Technique:

👉 Excerpt:
“Németh Balázs is the safe choice”

👉 Technique:

  • simple closing message
  • decision shortcut

👉 Goal:
➡️ shut down further thinking

➡️ “no need to weigh options → this is the safe one”


⚠️ What is MISSING (this is the most important part)

  • verifiable claims

👉 This is key:
➡️ the message is entirely emotion-based


🧠 Summary (short)

This text:

  • does not inform

it sells a character


🎯 Core takeaway

👉 It does not say:

A terrorist attack was prevented near the Hungarian border! They may have been trying to disrupt Hungary’s gas supply!

A Sunday Easter service was just taking place here at the Rákospalota Reformed Church when the news arrived that Serbian authorities had thwarted a terrorist attack—an attempted bombing—near the Hungarian border. Bálint Pásztor, the president of the Vojvodina Hungarian Alliance, wrote about the details on Facebook, which is worth reading and following.

Serbian investigators found two large bags of explosives. It is clear that the perpetrators intended to blow up the gas pipeline leading from Vojvodina toward Hungary, in the area of Kanjiža. According to Bálint Pásztor, this could have endangered human lives, and if successful, it would have made gas supply in both Vojvodina and Hungary impossible. Fortunately, the attack was prevented.

👉 Main narrative:

  • “we are in danger” ⚠️
  • “a terrorist attack was close”
  • “energy supply = life-or-death issue”
  • “we will protect you”

👉 Hidden formula:
fear + security + energy + immediacy
→ “if you don’t pay attention to us / don’t support us → you will be in danger”


🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Immediate fear trigger (shock framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“a terrorist attack was prevented”
“they wanted to disrupt gas supply”

👉 Technique:

  • strong, shocking words in the first sentence
  • no context, only danger

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger instant emotional reaction (fear)

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


2️⃣ Proximity dramatization (proximity effect)

👉 Excerpt:
“near the Hungarian border”
“in the area of Kanjiža”

👉 Technique:

  • brings the threat physically “closer”
  • feels dangerous even if not directly affecting you

👉 Goal:
➡️ “this is almost here”

👉 Effect:
➡️ you overestimate the risk


3️⃣ Energy = survival framing (existential framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“gas supply would have been disrupted”
“it could have endangered human lives”

👉 Technique:

  • frames energy supply as a survival issue
  • directly links it to life itself

👉 Goal:
➡️ maximize the perceived stakes

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this is not politics, this is life or death”


4️⃣ Authority anchoring

👉 Excerpt:
“according to Bálint Pásztor…”
“Serbian authorities…”

👉 Technique:

  • references officials and institutions
  • creates an illusion of credibility

👉 Goal:
➡️ discourage questioning

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if they say it, it must be true”


5️⃣ Information gap (partial information)

👉 What is MISSING:

  • who were the perpetrators?
  • how realistic was the plan?
  • what evidence exists?
  • how feasible was it?

👉 Technique:

  • only fear-amplifying elements are shown
  • critical details are omitted

👉 Goal:
➡️ prevent a full picture

👉 Effect:
➡️ your imagination fills the gaps → making it even scarier


6️⃣ Timing manipulation

👉 Excerpt:
“on Easter Sunday… during church service the news arrived”

👉 Technique:

  • emotionally charged moment (family, religion, peace)
  • contrast: peace → terror

👉 Goal:
➡️ amplify emotional impact

👉 Effect:
➡️ stronger imprint in memory


7️⃣ Protector framing

👉 Excerpt:
“this was successfully prevented”

👉 Technique:

  • implicit message: “someone protected us”

👉 Goal:
➡️ tie safety to specific actors

👉 Effect:
➡️ “we need them”


⚠️ What is actually happening?

This text:

  • uses a real event
  • but frames it for maximum emotional impact
  • mainly through:
    • fear
    • proximity
    • existential security

👉 The primary goal is not information, but:
➡️ to create an emotional state


🧠 Short summary

👉 This is a classic combination of:
fear framing + security narrative + authority + timing

👉 The key message is not:
“an incident happened”

👉 but:
➡️ “you are in danger → you need someone”

Easter shopping looks different everywhere—one could say that every household has its own traditions. In some families, choosing the perfect ham and buying fresh radishes, horseradish, and spring onions is a big shared activity, while in others, one person prefers to take care of everything alone.

However, there is something common everywhere: the price caps introduced by the national government help all of our wallets. Flour, butter, oil, milk, and the most popular meats are among the cheapest in Hungary compared to the rest of Europe today, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a good shared lunch or dinner.

At the same time, we must see that certain political forces would put an end to all of this in an instant. If we make the wrong decision next Sunday and the left comes to power, they would implement their plans, and we would see shocking totals on our Easter shopping receipts. After all, István Kapitány has openly said that there is no need for price caps, protected prices, or margin caps.

Next Sunday, we must choose between these two paths. If we stay on the Hungarian path, the safety of our country and the livelihood of Hungarian families will continue to come first. That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!

👉 Main narrative:

  • “we take care of you (cheap food)”
  • “they would take it away (everything would become expensive)”
  • “the election = your livelihood”

👉 Hidden formula:
everyday life + food + security + fear
→ “if you don’t vote for us → you will live worse”


🔍 Manipulation techniques

1️⃣ “Everyday idyll” (emotional entry point)

👉 Example:
“Easter shopping”, “ham, radish, horseradish”

👉 Technique:

  • warm, family-oriented, everyday imagery
  • starts in a completely non-political tone

👉 Goal:
➡️ lower your defenses
➡️ “this is just a nice, harmless post”

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t question it → you become receptive


2️⃣ “We take care of you” (protector framing)

👉 Example:
“price caps help your wallet”
“cheaper than in Europe”

👉 Technique:

  • government = protector
  • simplifies complex economic realities

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of security
➡️ build dependency (“without us, it would be worse”)

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t see the system → “they are taking care of me”


3️⃣ Claims without evidence

👉 Example:
“one of the cheapest in Europe”

👉 Technique:

  • no data, no sources
  • presented as a fact

👉 Goal:
➡️ don’t verify it
➡️ accept it automatically

👉 Effect:
➡️ “it must be true”


4️⃣ Enemy framing + future threat

👉 Example:
“certain political forces would put an end to this”
“shocking prices”

👉 Technique:

  • opponent = danger
  • future = worse

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger fear
➡️ drive emotional decision-making

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t evaluate → you react defensively


5️⃣ “Proof” based on a single sentence

👉 Example:
“István Kapitány openly said…”

👉 Technique:

  • cherry-picked statement
  • no context

👉 Goal:
➡️ create an illusion of credibility
➡️ “we’re not saying it, he said it”

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t check what was actually said


6️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Example:
“we must choose between two paths”

👉 Technique:

  • only 2 options:
    • good (us)
    • bad (them)

👉 Reality:

  • economics ≠ black and white

👉 Effect:
➡️ narrows your thinking


7️⃣ Fear + money (strongest trigger)

👉 Example:
“shocking amounts on your receipt”

👉 Technique:

  • concrete, everyday fear
  • food = basic necessity

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate emotional reaction
➡️ “I can’t afford this”

👉 Effect:
➡️ rational thinking shuts down


8️⃣ Soft start → hard propaganda (the trap)

👉 Structure:

  1. nice Easter story 🐣
  2. “everything is good”
  3. “but it’s in danger”
  4. “vote for us”

👉 This is the classic:
➡️ soft → fear → action funnel


🎯 Overall picture (very important)

This post:

👉 does not inform
👉 does not explain
👉 does not debate

Instead, it:

👉 triggers emotions
👉 oversimplifies
👉 builds fear
👉 then offers a “solution”


💥 The strongest manipulation here

👉 food + family + money + holiday

This is a powerful combo because:

  • basic need (food)
  • emotional setting (Easter)
  • financial fear
  • political decision

→ this is no longer just messaging, but psychological pressure


⚠️ What you feel (and it’s valid)

That it makes you angry:

👉 is a completely logical reaction

because it:

  • feels patronizing (“we feed you” vibe)
  • oversimplifies (as if you were stupid)
  • manipulates emotionally

🧾 In short

👉 This is not a “nice Easter post”
👉 This is a carefully packaged fear campaign

Dopeman in Újpalota: in times of danger, the country cannot be run by clueless rich kids from Rózsadomb!!

I don’t need to be convinced. You could convince me to vote for Péter Magyar and Tisza. One hundred thousand euros would be enough. Would that make me vote for Tisza? No.

Now who is it, as a Hungarian, that would screw themselves over by acting in a way that weakens Hungary? The Tisza supporters. But why would they screw themselves over? Let’s put Tisza in its place as well. It’s a bunch of these “puri” kids who are very good at manipulation and trickery, but they don’t care about the people at all.

They’ve openly made this clear — I know, AI. So this is not a game anymore. The idea that we should experiment with or mess around with some clueless rich kid from Rózsadomb — you get it?

🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “elite vs people”
  • “Tisza = manipulative, anti-people”
  • “voting = self-harm or self-defense”

👉 Underlying formula:
anger + contempt + identity + simplification
→ “if you vote for them → you are acting against yourself”


🔍 Manipulation techniques

1️⃣ Enemy construction + social division (elite vs people)

👉 Excerpt:
“stupid rich kids from Rózsadomb”
“peasant kids”

👉 Technique:

  • setting social groups against each other
  • elite (wealthy, from Buda) vs “the people”
  • dismissive labeling

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger anger
➡️ “they are not one of us”

👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop evaluating programs, focus on identity instead


2️⃣ Harsh personal attacks (ad hominem)

👉 Excerpt:
“stupid kids”
“they manipulate, they scheme”

👉 Technique:

  • attacks people instead of arguments
  • character assassination

👉 Goal:
➡️ discredit without evidence

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if they’re like this → they must be bad”


3️⃣ False dilemma / self-harm narrative

👉 Excerpt:
“who would screw themselves over as a Hungarian”

👉 Technique:

  • reduces choices to two options:
    • either a “good Hungarian”
    • or someone acting against themselves

👉 Goal:
➡️ eliminate rational evaluation

👉 Effect:
➡️ guilt + pressure


4️⃣ Fear and danger framing

👉 Excerpt:
“in times of danger”
“this is not a game”

👉 Technique:

  • creates a sense of crisis
  • urgency

👉 Goal:
➡️ force quick, emotional decisions

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this is not the time to take risks”


5️⃣ Assertion without evidence

👉 Excerpt:
“they are very manipulative”
“they have stated this”

👉 Technique:

  • no concrete examples
  • no sources
  • still presented as fact

👉 Goal:
➡️ make you believe, not verify

👉 Effect:
➡️ repetition → perceived truth


6️⃣ Conspiracy hinting / vague referencing

👉 Excerpt:
“I know, AI”

👉 Technique:

  • suggests hidden or insider knowledge
  • vague, untraceable source

👉 Goal:
➡️ “he knows something you don’t”

👉 Effect:
➡️ reduces critical thinking


7️⃣ Emotional overload + vulgarity

👉 Excerpt:
multiple instances of swearing

👉 Technique:

  • strong emotional language
  • direct transmission of anger

👉 Goal:
➡️ emotional alignment
➡️ transfer of outrage

👉 Effect:
➡️ rational thinking is pushed aside


⚠️ What’s the core reality?

👉 This text does not inform, it:

  • builds anger
  • creates an enemy
  • offers a simple answer to a complex situation

👉 It lacks:

  • concrete policy
  • evidence
  • real argumentation

🧩 One-sentence summary

➡️ This is an emotion-driven, anti-elite, identity-based propaganda message that uses personal attacks and fear to make you see voting not as a rational choice, but as an act of “self-defense.”

🐣 Political differences may come up around the Easter table, but we shouldn’t break off family or friendships because of them! 🪺
At the same time, it’s not worth treating the stakes of the election as taboo, since it will determine our future—not just for four years, but for much longer. On April 12, it will be decided whether development and peace will continue in the country.
🐰 Let’s be kind and gentle, but still have the courage to stand up for what we believe in!

In my opinion, we should be kind even in these moments, because when we make our decision on April 12, we are also voting about our families—about whether our livelihood will be secure, whether there will be tax exemptions, whether there will be 13th and 14th month pensions, whether there will be development, security, low utility costs, and low fuel prices.

I would advise everyone not to ruin friendships—especially not family relationships—just because we think differently about politics. At the same time, we should talk to each other kindly and gently, and listen to one another.

I would especially ask the older generation to talk with young people—with their children and grandchildren. Children and grandchildren know that their parents and grandparents have their best interests at heart, that they want what is good for them. And because of that, I hope they will listen to their opinions in this spirit.

So let’s be kind and gentle—not in a way that damages relationships—but still not avoid discussing the stakes of this election, even at the Easter table.

🧠 What is actually happening in this text?

👉 Main narrative:

“let’s be kind to each other” ❤️
BUT at the same time:
“the election = your family’s future + your money + your security”

👉 Hidden formula:
kindness + family + fear + political message
→ “talk → and influence at the same time”


🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ “Kindness” as an entry point (soft manipulation)

👉 Excerpt:
“let’s not break relationships”
“let’s talk kindly and gently”

👉 Technique:

  • friendly, hard-to-attack message
  • lowers defenses

👉 Goal:
➡️ make the listener open up
➡️ reduce critical thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this is a normal, well-intentioned message” (while it’s not neutral)


2️⃣ Family as an emotional anchor

👉 Excerpt:
“we are voting about our family”
“children’s and grandchildren’s future”

👉 Technique:

  • strongest emotional trigger: family

👉 Goal:
➡️ personalize politics
➡️ “not politics → but family”

👉 Effect:
➡️ emotional decision-making instead of rational thinking


3️⃣ Fear framing (packaged softly)

👉 Excerpt:

  • “livelihood”
  • “13th–14th month pension”
  • “utility costs”
  • “fuel prices”

👉 Technique:

  • concrete, everyday issues
  • framed as potential losses

👉 Goal:
➡️ “if you vote wrong → you will lose these”

👉 Effect:
➡️ sense of financial/security anxiety


4️⃣ False causality

👉 Excerpt:
“on April 12 it will be decided whether X will exist”

👉 Technique:

  • complex economic systems → reduced to one election

👉 Reality:

  • these do not depend on a single decision (economy, markets, EU, etc.)

👉 Effect:
➡️ oversimplified worldview
➡️ easier to manipulate


5️⃣ Generational pressure (social influence)

👉 Excerpt:
“older people should talk to the young”
“listen to grandparents”

👉 Technique:

  • authority bias (older = wiser)
  • encouraging influence within the family

👉 Goal:
➡️ spread political messaging inside families
➡️ “soft campaigning” at home

👉 Effect:
➡️ social pressure
➡️ harder to disagree


6️⃣ “We want what’s best for you” framing (protector framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“parents act in their children’s interest”

👉 Technique:

  • own position = care and protection

👉 Goal:
➡️ if you disagree → are you against their wellbeing?

👉 Effect:
➡️ moral pressure


7️⃣ Double message (double bind)

👉 On the surface:
➡️ “don’t argue”

👉 In reality:
➡️ “BUT talk about it and persuade others”

👉 This is the classic:
👉 “avoid conflict – just agree with me”


🧠 Overall picture

👉 This is not a “peace message”
👉 but a very subtly packaged campaign message

Structure:

  • Kindness → trust
  • Family → emotion
  • Money + security → fear
  • Talk → spread the message

👉 In practice:
“bring the campaign to the Easter table”


🎯 In short

👉 This is a soft propaganda pattern:

  • not aggressive
  • not confrontational
  • but still directive

👉 The strongest part:
➡️ it doesn’t feel like propaganda

Don’t let Hungarians be robbed!

The TISZA energy plan – which István Kapitány from Shell also spoke about openly – would not only abolish protected fuel prices and utility cost reductions, but would also impose a new energy tax on Hungarians! This would cost an average Hungarian family more than 1.8 million forints per year.

Let’s not risk our money and our security! Only a national government can preserve utility cost reductions and low fuel prices. That’s why on April 12, we should vote for Fidesz!

István Kapitány himself spoke about this in typical corporate language. The functioning of the state should be simplified, there should be far less intervention, far fewer special taxes, far fewer price caps—because, ladies and gentlemen, when someone interferes in the economy, it usually doesn’t turn out well.

Now let me translate this for you, because it’s no coincidence that these slick guys phrase things this way. They know exactly how to sing money out of people’s pockets so that we don’t even notice it—until one day we realize our pockets are empty and every forint has been taken.

What this plan would actually mean is that we would be cut off from Russian energy—gas, oil, everything. We wouldn’t even be able to import the fuel elements needed for the operation of the Paks nuclear power plant. And this would be a serious problem for us, measurable in the hundreds of thousands.

We could immediately say goodbye to utility cost reductions. This would mean that every Hungarian family would have to pay prices similar to those in the Czech Republic or Poland—not even Western Europe, but regional examples. There, the average annual utility cost is around 800,000 to 900,000–1,000,000 forints per family, while in Hungary it is about 250,000 per year on average.

So this would mean that the utility bills everyone pays now would immediately be multiplied by three or four.

1️⃣ Fear framing with money

👉 Excerpt:
“1.8 million HUF per year”
“3–4x utility costs”

👉 Technique:

  • large, seemingly concrete numbers
  • no calculation, no source
  • presented as a future threat

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger an immediate emotional reaction (“I can’t afford this”)

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t verify it → you believe it


2️⃣ Enemy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“they will rob Hungarians”
“they will siphon money out of your pocket”

👉 Technique:

  • the opponent is portrayed as intentionally harmful
  • suggests deliberate intent (“they will take it on purpose”)

👉 Goal:
➡️ anger + distrust

👉 Effect:
➡️ not a political debate → a moral battle


3️⃣ “We protect you” (protector framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“Only the national government can preserve…”

👉 Technique:

  • exclusivity (“only us”)
  • government = protector

👉 Goal:
➡️ create dependency

👉 Effect:
➡️ “without them, things will get worse”


4️⃣ False causality

👉 Excerpt:
“disconnecting from Russian energy = 3–4x utility costs”

👉 Technique:

  • oversimplified cause–effect chain
  • completely ignores intermediate factors

👉 Reality:

  • energy prices depend on many factors
  • not determined by a single decision

👉 Effect:
➡️ complex issue → simplified fear


5️⃣ Manipulation of expert reference

👉 Excerpt:
“István Kapitány also said…”

👉 Technique:

  • appeal to authority
  • then “translate” (distort) it

👉 Goal:
➡️ create an illusion of credibility

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if an expert said it → it must be true”


6️⃣ “Translation” = reframing

👉 Excerpt:
“let me translate this for you…”

👉 Technique:

  • reinterpret the original statement
  • add a negative meaning

👉 Goal:
➡️ distort the opponent’s intent

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t understand what was actually said


7️⃣ Distorted regional comparison

👉 Excerpt:
“Czech and Polish households pay 800k–1M”

👉 Technique:

  • cherry-picked numbers
  • no context

👉 Missing:

  • income levels
  • support systems
  • consumption differences

👉 Effect:
➡️ “everywhere else is worse → here it’s good”


8️⃣ Repetition + shock numbers

👉 Key elements:

  • “1.8 million”
  • “3–4x”

👉 Technique:
illusory truth effect

👉 Effect:
➡️ over time it feels like a fact


🧾 Overall picture (short)

👉 Hidden formula:

fear + money + enemy framing + simplification + “we protect you”
→ “if you don’t vote for us, you will be financially ruined”


⚖️ What’s important to notice

  • no concrete, verifiable calculation
  • no alternative scenarios
  • everything is framed as the worst-case outcome
  • the opponent’s intentions are presented as facts, not assumptions

👉 Living in Hungary today is much safer than in Western Europe, as there is no wave of migrants here, no terrorism, and we can live in peace.

The contrast was experienced firsthand by Szilvia’s children, who studied abroad—one in Amsterdam and two in Manchester. The latter two both witnessed terrorist attacks.

🟠 As long as there is a national government, Hungary will not become a country of migrants, and we can live in safety.
That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!


They were there during two terrorist attacks. Okay. I have three children as examples in my own family—they also went abroad to study, which was good, but we let them go with the understanding that they would come home, and there was never any question about it—they all came back.

They saw what it was like—two studied in Manchester, one in Amsterdam—and they came home very quickly. In Manchester, two of them were there during two terrorist attacks. Early in the morning, the phone rang: “Mom, I’m okay.” I think it was after an Ariana Grande Manchester Arena bombing concert, if I remember correctly, and they called from there saying they were safe. At that point, I didn’t even know what had happened yet, because it was early morning.

So they really saw what it’s like there—and that it’s not as ideal as it might seem from the outside.

1️⃣ Personal story = illusion of credibility

👉 Excerpt:
“my three children… Manchester… Amsterdam… they were there during the attack”

👉 Technique:

  • builds on personal experience
  • “I saw it → therefore it’s true”

👉 Goal:
➡️ don’t question it
➡️ create emotional identification

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if it happened to them, then it must be general”


2️⃣ Rare event → presented as general reality

👉 Excerpt:
experience of a terror attack → “that’s what it’s like there”

👉 Technique:

  • generalizes a unique, extreme event
  • ignores proportions and context

👉 Reality:

  • terrorist attacks are very rare events
  • they do not describe everyday life in a city or country

👉 Effect:
➡️ distorted worldview (“the West = dangerous”)


3️⃣ Fear framing

👉 Core elements:
child + danger + mother’s fear

👉 Technique:

  • targets parental instincts
  • “your child is not safe”

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger a visceral emotional reaction
➡️ suppress rational thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ “better stay here, because it’s dangerous there”


4️⃣ Contrast narrative (abroad vs. Hungary)

👉 Implicit message:

  • “there = chaos”
  • “here = safety”

👉 Technique:

  • black-and-white framing
  • no nuance

👉 Goal:
➡️ reinforce political preference

👉 Effect:
➡️ simplified decision-making (“here good – there bad”)


5️⃣ “They came home quickly” = implicit proof

👉 Excerpt:
“they came home very quickly”

👉 Technique:

  • presents a decision as cause-and-effect
  • lacks real evidence

👉 Question:

  • did they really come home because of safety?
  • or for other reasons?

👉 Effect:
➡️ reinforces the narrative (“even they fled”)


⚖️ Legally, what is this?

It’s important to separate things:

👉 This is not a crime in itself.

  • opinion + personal story
  • part of political communication
  • even if it is distorted or manipulative

👉 It could become a legal issue if:

  • a provable false claim causes harm, or
  • it involves incitement or hate speech

👉 This text is rather:
➡️ a manipulative narrative, not a legal category


🧠 Why does this work on people?

Because it combines very powerful elements:

👉 child
👉 fear
👉 personal story
👉 external threat

Together this:
➡️ shuts down critical thinking


⚠️ The key point

Your anger is understandable, but:

  • messages like this cannot be addressed with force
  • instead, they should be handled with:

👉 The key is:

  • don’t react to the emotional trigger
  • recognize the technique behind it

Listen to your heart, watch your wallet, vote for Fidesz!

If Tisza were to come to power, they would implement their energy plan, cut us off from cheap Russian gas, and we would see triple utility prices and fuel costing 1,000 forints per liter.

But if it’s up to us, utility price cuts will remain, fuel will stay at protected prices, family support will continue, and everything else we have built over the past 16 years will be preserved. That’s why Fidesz is the only safe choice!

We’re out here in the countryside, in the fresh air. This is the smell of victory. What would you say to those who are still undecided about whether to go vote?

On the one hand, this is something we can only do once every four years—directly influence public affairs—so I think we should take advantage of it.

On the other hand, my message to everyone is to listen to your mind and your heart, and to pay attention to your wallet—and vote accordingly for Fidesz. Because if it’s up to us, low utility costs will remain, fuel will stay cheap, family support will continue, and the 13th and 14th month pensions will remain.

But if Tisza wants to give our money to Ukraine, then none of this will remain. So let’s not trust them—we’ve seen this before 2010, and we shouldn’t fall for it again.

Let’s vote for Fidesz, because that is the safe choice.

1️⃣ Repetition = “implanting” (core propaganda technique)

👉 Key phrases:
“1000 HUF fuel”, “triple utility costs”

👉 Technique:

  • the same numbers are repeated over and over
  • no evidence, no explanation
  • just repetition

👉 Goal:
➡️ to embed it in your mind as a “fact”

👉 Effect:
➡️ after a while:
“I don’t know where it came from, but it must be true”

📌 This is the classic:
illusory truth effect (repetition = perceived truth)


2️⃣ Simple, shocking numbers

👉 “1000 HUF fuel”
👉 “3x utilities”

👉 Technique:

  • concrete, easy-to-imagine numbers
  • deliberately extreme

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate emotional reaction (shock)

👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop thinking → you decide emotionally


3️⃣ Financial fear appeal (strongest trigger)

👉 “pay attention to your wallet”

👉 Technique:

  • focuses on your personal finances
  • everyone feels affected

👉 Goal:
➡️ make politics personal

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this affects me → I feel fear → I react”


4️⃣ False causality (very important!)

👉 “if Tisza → no Russian gas → everything becomes expensive”

👉 Technique:

  • oversimplified chain
  • ignores all intermediate factors

👉 Reality:
➡️ energy prices = global markets + EU + contracts + many variables

👉 Effect:
➡️ simplifies the world into:
“them = expensive / us = cheap”


5️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “only Fidesz is the safe choice”

👉 Technique:

  • no alternatives
  • no nuance

👉 Goal:
➡️ narrow your thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️
“if not them → trouble”


6️⃣ Mixing emotion + rationality (trick)

👉 “listen to your heart” + “watch your wallet”

👉 Technique:

  • combines emotion with apparent logic

👉 Goal:
➡️ make it feel like a rational decision

👉 In reality:
➡️ it packages an emotional decision as rational


7️⃣ “We built everything” (appropriation)

👉 “what we have built over the past 16 years”

👉 Technique:

  • claims all positive outcomes as their own

👉 Effect:
➡️ “without them, there is nothing”


8️⃣ Enemy framing + distrust

👉 “don’t trust them”
👉 “they would give our money to Ukraine”

👉 Technique:

  • connects internal and external enemies

👉 Effect:
➡️ fear + anger + rejection


9️⃣ Nostalgia + fear combined

👉 “we’ve seen this before 2010”

👉 Technique:

  • negative image of the past
  • projected future threat

👉 Effect:
➡️
“let’s not go back there”


🧠 Answer to your key question:

👉 “Are the followers really that irrational that it has to be repeated this many times?”

No.

👉 Instead:

  • this is how the human brain works
  • repetition works on everyone, not just “others”

📌 This is not about stupidity, but about:

  • cognitive biases
  • attention economy
  • simple messages vs complex reality

⚠️ Why repeat it over and over?

  • Most people don’t follow politics daily
  • A message only “sticks” after multiple exposures
  • There is competition for attention (scroll → noise → short memory)
  • The simplest message wins

👉 That’s why:
they say the same thing 100 times, not once


🧩 The whole strategy in one line:

👉 Formula:

repetition + fear + money + simplification
→ “if you don’t vote for us → you’ll be worse off”


🔚 Bottom line

This is not about:
👉 “people being stupid”

It’s about:
👉 the most effective method of mass persuasion

People living in Buda know exactly that everything which seems natural today – the numerous benefits, tax reductions for young people, families and mothers, the 13th and even 14th month pension, reduced utility costs, continuous developments, full employment, and the strict migration policy that guarantees security – are all thanks solely to the Orbán governments.

It is important to understand what is at stake: if the country does not have a national government, these measures would disappear in an instant. This would hurt everyone – even supporters of TISZA. Let’s not allow our security to be put at risk!

In the next 9 days, let’s talk to everyone and remind them of the achievements that we must preserve!

On April 12, only Fidesz is the safe choice, and in Hegyvidék and West Újbuda, Attila Steiner is the right choice!

Good day! You know, make sure you’re well provided for by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. We are waiting for you for the elections on July 12. Of course. We really need all the support, we count on every bit of it. There’s no need to convince us. We receive benefits, we get various tax reductions. Pensioners receive the 13th and 14th month pension. Utility cost reductions – there’s a lot that could be listed.

They don’t even think about it. Because if we want our sons and sons-in-law to be taken away as soldiers, and to receive no support at all, then we should just go the other way. Thank you very much! Thank you!

1️⃣ “We gave you everything good” (total appropriation)

👉 “everything is thanks to the Orbán governments”

Technique: 100% appropriation of achievements
Reality: the economy, EU funds, global processes → completely omitted

Effect:
➡️ “without them, nothing exists”


2️⃣ Fear: “everything will disappear”

👉 “they would disappear in an instant”

Technique: catastrophe narrative

Goal:
➡️ don’t think, just fear

Effect:
➡️ “if you don’t vote for them → things will get worse for you”


3️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “if it’s not a national government → everything is lost”

Technique: no middle ground

Reality: political systems don’t work like this

Effect:
➡️ narrows thinking


4️⃣ “Even the opposition would suffer”

👉 “even TISZA supporters”

Technique: psychological pressure

Message:
➡️ “everyone wants the same thing → don’t stand out”

Effect:
➡️ conformity


5️⃣ Safety + war (implicitly)

👉 “security”, “they will take your sons to the army”

Technique: existential fear

Link: politics → war → family in danger

Effect:
➡️ strongest emotional trigger


6️⃣ Mass mobilization

👉 “let’s talk to everyone”, “9 days”

Technique: campaign activation

Goal:
➡️ don’t just vote → spread the message


7️⃣ Direct “reward” narrative

👉 “they receive benefits, tax cuts”

Technique: dependency framing

Message:
➡️ “we give → therefore you must vote for us”


🔍 Why is it so irritating?

Because it:

  • underestimates your intelligence (over-simplifies everything)
  • relies on fear instead of facts
  • manipulates instead of informing
  • uses emotional pressure (family, security, money)

This combination is one of the strongest → that’s why it triggers a “disgust” reaction.


🧾 Short summary

👉 This is not an informational text
👉 This is a classic propaganda formula:

benefits + fear + simplification + “we protect you”
→ “vote for us or things will go badly”

If I had to list the things I consider important in raising a child, one would definitely be sports. Sport is not just physical activity. It is education, development, and a safe way to experience both success and failure, as well as a sense of belonging to a community. This is how I spent my own childhood, and I experienced all of this myself.

Panni trains three times a week, just like tens of thousands of children who have been doing sports since a very young age.

What today costs a few thousand or tens of thousands of forints per month could easily rise to hundreds of thousands if the current sports support system were abolished.

Everyone understands what that would mean, right? A large portion of children who are currently active in sports would lose the opportunity to experience everything that sport can offer.

Amid major issues, we may pay less attention to these things, even though they are very important. On April 12, we will also be deciding on the future of sports.

Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Quick Overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “sport = value, development, community”
  • “this is under threat”
  • “only we can protect it”
  • “election = your child’s future”

👉 Underlying formula:

emotion + child + fear + simplification
→ “if you don’t vote for us → your child loses”


🔍 Persuasion techniques

➡️ reduce critical thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this cannot be argued against”


2️⃣ Personal story (illusion of credibility)

👉 Excerpt:
“I grew up like this too”
“Panni trains three times a week”

👉 Technique:
individual example → presented as general truth

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of closeness
➡️ build trust

👉 Effect:
➡️ “they experienced it → they must be right”


3️⃣ Fear framing (future loss)

👉 Excerpt:
“hundreds of thousands”
“they will lose the opportunity”

👉 Technique:
seemingly concrete but unsupported claims
future negative consequences

👉 Goal:
➡️ create anxiety
➡️ create urgency

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if I don’t act → something bad will happen”


4️⃣ False causality

👉 Claim:
“ending sports subsidies → drastic price increases”

👉 Problem:
no explanation
no alternatives
no evidence

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify a complex system
➡️ tie everything to a single decision

👉 Effect:
➡️ “it all depends on one vote”


5️⃣ Implicit electoral pressure

👉 Excerpt:
“on April 12, we also decide the future of sport”

👉 Technique:
moral pressure

👉 Goal:
➡️ voting = responsible parenting
➡️ not voting this way = irresponsibility

👉 Effect:
➡️ guilt / pressure


6️⃣ “Safe choice” framing

👉 Excerpt:
“The safe choice is Fidesz!”

👉 Technique:
safety vs. risk

👉 Goal:
➡️ reduce uncertainty
➡️ offer a simple decision path

👉 Effect:
➡️ “better not take risks”


🎯 Overall picture

This text is not really about sport.

👉 It’s a classic emotional manipulation package:

  • using children (strongest trigger)
  • positive values (sport, community)
  • introducing a threat
  • ending with a political “solution”

💥 In short

👉 “If you don’t vote for us → your child’s opportunity to do sports will be harmed”

That’s the real message.
