Kerensky catch as always
Trolling the Hungarian Spring, rightly so 'cause Marci et al. substantially damaged cognitive qualities of my friends. Familiarly "Marci" as Partizán signs its 1% panhandling to ex-supporters/me.
The political perception and thinking of my precious budapester friends was totally and finally prostituted during the war against the collective Orbán operated by the combined forces of the EU nomenclature and its servant activist class (or rather by the chaotic combination of activists, ngo-s, elites and the nomenclature — the power pyramid without a top). The imbecile concept about this election is that the country is choosing between the EU way and the Russian way. While the essentially sane concept is that Orbán and its regime was already too much already many years ago (see: за-е-бал). The war is officially over today -- or not, and it may turn into a new constructed Maidan. But the mental harm and moral-senses-damage to a large portion of Hungarian society is done done and might not be curable over a course of many years ahead. Especially that intoxication by consuming Free and objective media will persist under any scenario I can naively foresee. In Tbilisi last summer I observed the aftermath of an (allegedly) similar EU interference operation which was lost. In case of a smaller EU member country we might frame it differently, for example as per Latynina, who rightly speaks about colonization of many smaller EU countries (the Baltic-Balkan) by the federal nomenclature and its clientele, a colonization of that bad flavor mistakenly projected by the (pro)Ukrainian workshops into the Russian/Soviet empire-building. The so called intellectual class (in Russian terms, intelligentsia, or let’s be honest: petite mental bourgeoisie) was always (or periodically) prone to fanatically align itself to one-dimensional thinking according to a progressive program and to end up in self-harm and harm to the rest of the population. The best example was the intelligentsia, bourgeoisie and aristocracy of St. Petersburg enchanted by the leftist ideas who in 1917 jointly removed the (rightly hated) Tzar with a vision similar in passion to the one moving the current Hungarian opposition: even a dead cat at the top will be better than the current tzar given the functioning democratic institutions. Those people got Kerensky, witnessed a dysfunctional government and national assembly and ... well here the analogy stops, that kind of a bad ending does not fit into our future (or wait, what about Maidan).
My darling friends will vote for an aggressive Instagenic yuppie Führer with “true-Fidesz”-nostalgia and hungry wannabe-oligarch milieu under his belt. And lets never forget that he popped out from the Free media’s kitchen run by Marci as a knight fighting for the good name of his former lady, then in 45 days he chose to publish (a quite empty in content but packaged as a bomb) private admissions by that lady, a former minister taped by him at the kitchen table. The liberal public opinion (my darling budapester circles) suppressed their high moral norms (those are reserved for practicing Russophobia) and celebrated the yuppie hero. My friends are so conditioned that they enthusiastically discuss how Orbán, the giant media-Godzilla oppressed their media, but meanwhile their media is happily flourishing with only a little tiny flaw in that it became more dogmatic than the feared dirty Orbán média. No one questions why does the so called Free media (any outlet of this net) keep delivering strictly singular coverage of the situation in Ukraine. I call it the Arestovich-test: Hungarian audience would’ve deserved an interview, like elementarily under the ex-European norms of plural coverage and letting readers build a more complex worldview than of a lemming -- instead we have no mentioning of this name in the past 3 years, and it smells like Ukrainian super-editorial control or the sterilized at sources news feed and also no initiative to look behind The Guardian or Politico screens on the journalists side, self-censorship. During the campaign the Hungarian Free media was shamelessly weaponized to help anti-Orbán candidates, effectively Tisza. The usual arsenal of the European internal CogWar: corruption, pedophilia, Russophobia -- with creative add-ons. Enthusiastic coverage of episodes featuring Péter Magyar as the grand orphans-caretaker in the beginning. Then ridiculously mediocre and lazy 1-hour movies of the Navalny genre: investigative journalism vs grand corruption findings with drones, OSINT and provocations. I mean Navalny Studios were very professional at this genre, while Direkt36 Productions are just lame investigative-journalism imposters, activists for hire (see their opus, Dinasztia).
The top hit, branded as fearless investigative journalism came from this nest, a journalist named Pányi dropped a text: it contained a short claim supplied by foreign intelligence (Pányi does not complicate his media asset/relay role here) positing without even a blurry street photo that Kremlin deployed election-manipulating magicians at the embassy in Budapest in order to help Orbán. The rest of the article published in VSquare was meant to be consumed by the Hungarian readers as an expert analysis of the Kremlin propaganda kitchen and chefs -- stuff that I could (and Pányi obviously did) actually compile in an hour from the publications by quality or regime-critical domestic Russian journalists. People, who according to the concept planted into the brains of my friends do not exist, extincted -- since my liberal friends know for fact that “bloody” Putin eradicated quality and regime critical journalism and media in Russia, otherwise the threat of Orbán eradicating Hungarian journalism imposters would not click, right! In the final act of the campaign the spectaculum of ‘Hammering the public opinion with the idea that Orbán regime is already dead, also from inside’ brought to microphone whistleblowers from different intimate walks of Hungarian public, policing and army services. From my cyber professional pov martyr Bence was the most interesting performer, who as a pedophile hunter and vigilante serving at cybercrime police a) happened to observe some screenshots from a months-long chat where a Hungarian FBI officer (or anyone playing that persona) was trying to recruit a boy who had almost worked as an admin for Tisza, and b) Captain Bence was forced by actual FBI (which is a fact) to execute a raid at the office of the boy’s friend, an actual Tisza IT admin dude. Processing these experiences (coincidentally during his stay at the Hague) and inspired by the winds of systemchange advent Captain Bence projected into the said experiences that it was an operation by the Orbán’s FBI to compromise Tisza -- which might’ve been the case, but imo Bence’s participant observations do not imply such a far fetched conspiracy theory conclusions. Except that with help of Free media now this conspiracy interpretation is the canonized truth for my budapester friends. My observation was that Bence is a mediocre specialist and his hot fantasies were not compromised by obvious contradictions like why would any FBI offer €300K for a Cloudflare password. Especially so if FBI according to Bence’s own account about the raid already bugged the boat-office of the admin dude situated in an unpopulated area. Visual keylogging? And what about 2FA? Or without going into stupid details why would any FBI need any Bence’s assistance to break into an internet connected system managed by a usual paranoid admin dude who is using a flavor of Android targeting such paranoid dudes instead of an iPhone with Lockdown mode on (the dude obviously didn’t attend my lectures). Actually fun fact, years ago I sent recommendations on how to try to stay safe with his phone to paranoid Péter Magyar who those days was obsessed with an idea that his phone was hacked by Orbán’s FBI (I consider it like a doctor’s job, we do not look at the deeds of the client).
Probably the funniest episode of the recent campaign was when our Captain Bence, “the hero”, “the conscience of the country”, “the fighter with deep state” attended Marci’s show for the second time: it was announced that public already donated the martyr €600K in order to compensate his mortgage problems complicated by his leaving the Cybercrime Dept. job, then in a real-time message to the studio Péter Magyar offered Bence a position to lead the Property Protection Agency (this offer was probably since elevated to the position of the Minister of Interior), and closing that live show Marci announced the donations collecting acc.no. “authorized by Bence” (due to fake donation accounts surfacing by that time). Then Captain, or Minister, and by that time also already a political thinker Bence was featured at the gigantic Maidan-like concert of system changers and for 5 minutes meditated about “ideal” systems. What bugs me is that Direkt36 who launched his hero (originally martyr) carrier, very carefully designed/colored his pre-recorded in February interview as an interview with an angel, visually -- this meticulous approach to emo atmo of propaganda production was so far a mark of Ukrainian propaganda. I’m not at all obsessed by the Orbán’s propaganda idea fearing Ukrainian traces in the ops of the opposition, it must be my sovereign traumas of long investigating wartime Ukropride propaganda on Insta, how those brainwashers care about sentimental details. Anyhow the damage to my cognitive environment in Budapest is done done. Shit has happened. What’s next?
