Opinion article by Zsolt Ungváry from the Vasárnap.hu portal.
Whatever the domestic left-liberals think about this, however they explain it, the world pays attention to what Viktor Orbán says. Let it be said in the Parliament of Budapest, at the Tusnádfürdő in Transylvania or in Dallas, Texas.
And what does the Hungarian Prime Minister say? Apparently nothing surprising. What we all think. We don't even understand what's so strange about this. "The father is a man, the mother is a woman. Peace is better than war. A politician must keep the interests of his constituents in mind. All people are equal before God, but each nation, culture, religion, civilization is different from the other. Those in trouble must be helped, but not necessarily those who seek or cause trouble. We must protect our borders and our compatriots beyond the borders." This great interest is so trivial that it is almost embarrassing.
In the shriveled world (of course, this primarily means the ever-shrinking so-called "Western" world, to which we belong, willy-nilly), the normal path has become strange, the straight path is branded as the "Hungarian path" and something deviant. And when they conflate Orbán with the Hungarians (which our leftists are protesting hand and foot), no injustice is done. Behind Orbán is a majority opinion, a way of life, of which he is the exponent. Orbán didn't make us like this, but he was made like this by the environment, and he uses his political talent (which is advocacy, representing things in the world) to make it visible and work.
And while Orbán gives evidence, the deviants try to get their own nonsense accepted , for which they have to mobilize serious weapons, because they cannot stand on their own two feet. This is why one-sided opinion terrorism is necessary in the press, in culture, even in everyday life.
Orwell imagined his 1984 utopia to England, to the West. We thought he was wrong because the Soviet Union had implemented all this, but it turned out that it was just a botched experiment and - if with some delay - but Orwell would be right.
The creators of doublethink and new talk are terrified of stating the simple, obvious facts. From the little boy who alone dares to shout out from the intimidated, misled crowd: "but the emperor doesn't even have clothes!" The first cry is the most difficult and at the same time the most dangerous for the walls built of lies. Such people have fallen before our eyes, both literally and figuratively. The unquestionable genius of the Carpathians went from the front page of the newspapers to the firing squad in just a few days. In '56, too, it turned from a sly counter-revolution into a struggle for freedom in a matter of weeks. For the Germans, the seemingly functioning Weimar Republic was first followed by Hitler, who was also seen as having no alternative, and after his fall, everyone immediately became anti-fascist. Just like that, in a matter of days, the Berlin Wall fell on the East German Communism, so that, from the intoxication of reunification, they became giddy with the new redemptive ideology of a hundred different genders and unlimited vegetables.
Of course, the argument could now be made that Orbán's system is also such an imperial liar and is about to collapse. But here , for decades, the press, celebrities, civil organizations and foreign embassies, persecuted people who have fled abroad and foreigners persecuted here have been able to shout all kinds of bad things about the government. If they were right, people would have hit them on the head long ago. But they just don't want to. Not least because they clearly see that the opposition is unable to present any meaningful alternative. If they were so obviously right, they could list the actions that would follow the overthrow of the government; but since 2010 they haven't had a single good idea.
The absurdity is illustrated by the survey, according to which the Dog Party is slowly becoming the most popular opposition. (I wouldn't classify Mi Hazánka in this regard, because they are on the side of normality.)
The two-taileds are actually anarchists , since they are completely outside the system, and they owe their popularity to this distance. If, on the other hand, they wanted to govern (and only in this case can they be interpreted as a political party), then entering the system, they would lose their only attraction. Because, right, politics cannot be otherwise. It has rules. I can choose not to accept them, but then I can't play by their rules later either. For them, deviance is their essence and deviance cannot become the majority, because then it becomes the norm. Although deviance has become the norm at certain levels of ideology in the West, it is certainly not the norm in real life, because then the world would not function. You can trust that one day, under some influence, people will stop lying and lying, and then the foolishness in the West will suddenly cease. Like with us in 1956 for a short time, then in 1989 or even in 2010.
