Another proof that RMDSZ is just a communications agency

As soon as a new project gains some popularity on social media, RMDSZ pounces on it right away.

The hunted prey and trophy can take many forms: from MrOriginality/Csabika, through an entire string of festivals organized exclusively by RMDSZ, through Haurențiu, all the way to Sziama-Matyi: the point is to be able to climb the cucumber tree of popularity on the backs of young people.

It doesn't even matter if, in the process, they make fools of the young people who believe RMDSZ's claim that the "struggle" "for Sfântu Gheorghe's (Sepsiszentgyörgy) flag" isn't a farce yes, you're seeing it right, this is a dead link - this campaign has already expired, this one too was paid for by the Romanian and Hungarian governments, money duly spent, young and old alike swindledfrom beginning to end. That way everyone can rest easy, because the next generation won't send them off either, to where they belong: straight to hell. RMDSZ can't even wrangle a single flag, even though it sits in government nonstop, partying away together with the majority political establishment for 30 years now, and ensures the stability of Romanian politics. And it even profits from its own idleness, because it builds campaigns on its own deliberately engineered failure. Even people in Chile would laugh if they knew this story.

Pounced

This time they managed to pounce on the duo Richárd Pataki and Raluca Mureșan, after RMDSZ had already been circling them since August. And naturally they keep pushing forward on their backs too, once again into the classroom, where they're putting together a nice little project, nominally involving Sapientia University as well, following RMDSZ's usual divide-and-conquer, Montague-and-Capulet fantasy: Romanian schoolchildren hear about Hungarian personalities - and Hungarian schoolchildren about Romanian ones!

What a beautiful world this is, where every man and woman is an actor!

Just as RMDSZ, and within it Sándor N. Szilágyi and other theoretical social physicists, envisioned it: one here - one there!

If RMDSZ doesn't introduce Romanian personalities to Hungarian schoolchildren, will they die ignorant, since that's not part of the national curriculum?

Tilt

Then there's nothing to be surprised about in the fact that this peculiar Transylvanian Hungarian intellectual display-case pharmacy scale does indeed tilt - as tends to happen when the theory is flawed.

Well, this theory is flawed on several points, which is why the pharmacy scale tilts on several points too, and here we won't spell out the most important one - the pea-brained Hungarian intelligentsia of Romania will get that one on the exam!

First point. Let's start with the institutions involved in the program, because only one school is included, and it too has Hungarian as its language of instruction: the János Zsigmond College in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár). And only one university - also with Hungarian as the language of instruction -, another stain of shame for RMDSZ and at the same time its great prey and trophy: Sapientia University, which Viktor Orbán had to establish with Hungarian state funds, because in the ten years of democracy before Sapientia's founding, RMDSZ was unable to restore to Romania's Hungarians - then still more than a million and a half strong - the Romanian state universities that had been taken from them, where they could have studied in their mother tongue. And another 26 years have passed since then, during which our numbers have halved and our average age has risen as well. This, however, didn't stop RMDSZ from being the one calling the tune at Sapientia too - because they deserve it, don't they? That's how Sapientia too became prey and trophy, where Anna Kós gets to give a lecture on Transylvanian Hungarian political marketing.

Second point: RMDSZ's voter base is Hungarian-speaking, so it would be a complete waste of resources to push party politics in Romanian schools as well - and since RMDSZ is, in practice, a parliamentary party, there's even a risk that they'd be tossed out of some Romanian-language school in Cluj-Napoca like a cat caught doing its business where it shouldn't.

Third point: the published videos also belong on the very same pan of the scale.

Fourth point: Raluca studies not in Romanian but in Hungarian, so it would be completely pointless for Romanian-speaking students to teach the native Romanian-speaker Raluca the Romanian language, since she already knows Romanian.

I won't keep scoring points.

Cluj-Napoca's progressives can rest easy, their "debate" did have an impact this time: RMDSZ, who people thought had worryingly "forgotten" about young people, look, has launched a communications project for the youth! What's more, it seems one of the participants in their debate took it upon themselves to carry out the plan. Succeeess!

Perhaps they could analyze how women are portrayed in RMDSZ's new project. They should try, once again, to phrase it all in such a way that everyone would rather climb the walls over it, and even feel like voting for RMDSZ because of it, and so that neither Richárd nor anyone else understands anything else from it. It wouldn't hurt the success of the whole thing either if, in the meantime, they invite a well-known woman-beater onto their new podcast again!
