It is not my place to give advice to Fidesz, but I would do things in their place.
I decided not to write about the Péter Magyar case. Garbage should not be written about, but cleaned up. Also from the street, from public life.
But in the meantime I saw the incident at the Magyars' demonstration. The employee of Hír TV did his work and reported. First shouts from the crowd, then fist shakes. The crowd is getting closer and closer to the female reporter. In the end, the circle closed around him.
Snapped at the first slap?
It didn't click! Péter Magyar quieted the crowd. I don't know if it was planned that way or it just happened that way.
Either way, the effect is the same! The crowd can intimidate the journalist, the crowd can lose their self-control, they can even snap at the first slap. But the leader comes, the Führer, who is not yet a national leader, but only dreams about it, he comes and the crowd listens to him. For a moment he is the police, the court, even the law itself.
But what if it snaps at the first slap? Will the journalist be lynched? Will they also beat the one who perhaps rushes to his defense? How long does the peppered crowd last? To the parliament? To the representatives' office building? To Viktor Orbán's apartment?
How long?
The Péter Magyar phenomenon is the collective evil of capitalist Hungarian society. Whoever transgresses the written and unwritten rules of public life and even private life is responsible. He doesn't do it on a whim. He plays the role of a foreigner. This doesn't come naturally, you have to prepare for it. The show, which has been going on for weeks, is not an individual attraction. Some people make money, rent a stage, pay bodyguards, do advertising.
The show is planned point by point, and the gags are shot by professionals. Péter Magyar is only an actor, as Zelensky once was, but he plays his part.
The people go wild at the sight of him, and that's enough for now. It is not my place to give advice to Fidesz, but I would do things in their place.
After all, Magyar grew up in that political family.
I know many decent conservative people, Fidesz members too. They are not like Hungarians, but obviously there are some.
And the media? Are they not responsible? Sure, there is capitalism. If you don't write it, someone else will, and then advertising and your premium will go up!
Don't worry about morals, you're a media person, different from the plebs on the street, write it!
And we? Do we humans have no responsibility? Are we just enjoying the free circus? They say the show exists because there is a demand for it. The media talks about it because the crowd expects it. You have to satisfy the audience!
Do we really need this? Do you really like the autopsies that have been going on for weeks on the internet? Are we really happy that people are being insulted in front of our eyes? Perhaps public executions should be reinstated?
Tickets for the public execution of Ottó Korvin in 1919 were sold to the high-value public in Pest, and the house was sold out. Is this what we want? Are we going this far?
I know that these words hardly affect anyone, if they reach the recipients at all. But we can't listen. No one can listen when they see us hurtling toward chaos at breakneck speed.
Let's talk clearly!
The liberal opposition has been unable to return to power for fourteen years. Behind them, for the most part, there are capitalist circles that gathered themselves in the chaos surrounding the change of regime. The liberal big capitalists were born out of nowhere, and then enjoyed the long governance of the MSZP-SZDSZ undisturbed. But that's a thing of the past. They are not the ones who receive the state orders, they are not the ones who win the tenders, and they are not the ones who can receive public funds. I really need the money now!
For this, of course, the other team, the conservative part of the Hungarian capitalist class, must be pushed out. Their American and European ties must be severed. They must be drowned in the eastern opening. Chaos must be created in the country so that no more foreign investors come. Opposition municipalities must be treated as anti-government fortresses. The leadership of the country must be brought down.
The recipe is there, but no usable figure comes up in the casting. They visited with Péter Márki-Zay. Gyurcsány cannot become prime minister again, the stomach of the majority is too sensitive for that. Dobrev is such a Western puppet that most Hungarians would be ashamed if she were the runner-up.
The Americans provide everything, money, tactics for anti-government attacks, but they have no candidate.
Time is running out.
Before the November election, it would be good for Biden if Trump's Hungarian friend snuck in. In addition, since July, Hungary has been president of the EU. Foreigners will flock. The media is paying attention to Budapest. Anti-government forces are given an opportunity that will never come back.
It is now necessary to prove that the Orbán government is not suitable for the democratic community!
It is now necessary to show that the country's leadership is not the master of the situation.
Now we have to protest in the street.
It doesn't matter why, just demonstrate.
We need to get the crowd fired up now!
The first slap has to be made now!
And then?
Chaos, confusion, violence?
Let's not let Hungary get to the first slap!
