For a long time, our world has been driven by the supreme power of money and its worship, young people are being used by dishonest politicians for their own purposes in power struggles. Written by Katalin Kondor.
It was perhaps four years ago that the political life around the schools had been revived for the first time without a doubt. In the past, we hardly experienced anything like this, and I also wrote at the time about how the older generation looks at this phenomenon strangely, since most of us did not experience any political pig-fighting around schools during our student years, from the first elementary school to high school graduation, that is, until adulthood.
What's more, pedophile cases didn't dampen spirits either, proving that not so long ago the world was even more normal. It hardly needs to be proven that it has changed a lot since then.
A couple of years ago, we learned, for example, that in certain German states the mentally disabled and minors can also vote. This is democracy! In fact, it is the pinnacle of democracy. The situation of which, according to the progressive left, is obviously strengthened thanks to such measures, and makes our lives happier and fairer, and of course also the lives of the mentally disabled, not to mention the lives of minors.
I don't know if since then other German states, or even other countries, have adopted this great idea, because in recent years the struggle for democracy has been pushed to the top by the progressives, so anything is possible.
And they are clearly trying to involve school-aged youth in this great struggle. With success. Perhaps it started with Greta, then came the extremely democratic knee-jerk attacks, vandalism of paintings, and smashing of statues, which were mainly committed by young people.
Here, around this time, we live in the time of cross-blasphemy. All of these actions, or crimes in Hungarian, were presented as a huge achievement of democracy, even though none of them were anything other than sick minds and stupid riots of perpetual troublemakers with ulterior motives.
At home, in Hungary, money is being collected for the student demonstrations interspersed with obscene speeches. I don't know what they will spend it on, since it is possible to demonstrate without collecting money.
I might as well say, with the political hands from the schools, although I'm afraid I'm a little late with the warning. Today, we hear about the political involvement of a teenager almost every day, for example the above-mentioned Swedish Greta Thunberg, who is not completely healthy, who is welcomed by high-ranking statesmen and women because she has been proclaimed the young apostle of environmental protection. It is inexplicable that they are really responsible for the protection of the environment, so why do the actors of big politics tolerate minor fools giving them advice, just as it is also incomprehensible why the vandalism of paintings and statues was not punished so severely that no one would think of committing such acts.
On the other hand, the wish that world leaders care more about their own and other children's future is completely legitimate. With an addition!
Most of the lords of the world are adults, they don't even care about the future of humanity. (By the way, I'll tell you why. Because our world has long been driven by the overpowering power of money and its worship. And the bottom line in this case is that young people are used by dishonest politicians for their own purposes in power struggles.)
It's the same with us. A good four years ago, when, as I mentioned, the political life around the schools seemed to revive, then in the first half of September the idiots went to protest instead of school, saying why study for a future that is uncertain and may not even arrive if this is how humanity continues to destroy the environment.
Well, there is some truth in this, although my answer is that it is necessary to learn in order to protect our environment with the help of the new discoveries of science.
And for that, you have to learn. Or should. A lot. However, while they were dissatisfied with the uncertain future, they also protested in order to reduce the amount of lexical teaching material and the overload of students. One could dwell on this wish for a long time, but one cannot argue with the fact that sharpening the mind certainly includes memorizing.
They also wanted a competitive salary for teachers, which is perfectly acceptable, but not only with regard to teachers.
It was also said at the demonstration that the parliament is covering the people in darkness. I haven't been able to interpret this statement since then, but I will think about it further. Although the demonstration was called a student demonstration, the members of the participating political organizations did not appear to be students either up close or far. Not even then.
So times change, we can state again. And they change so much that here are a few quotes from a document from the beginning of the last century called The Hungarian Student's Ten Commandments, which I received from a well-known scientist a few years ago. He graduated from high school even before the war, and lived as the biblical ten commandments and the student ten commandments dictated to him.
So let's browse the document: 2nd commandment: After God, you owe your parents the most, repay their kindness with tender love! Commandment 3: In Trianon, three and a half million Hungarians were separated from us. Fight for their liberation! Commandment 4: There is no more beautiful country in the world than our country. Be proud to call yourself a child of this country and work enthusiastically for its prosperity! Commandment 5: The school is a holy place - a temple of knowledge. Cross its threshold with reverence and behave in it!
Times change. Let's hope it's in the right direction.
