Oh, The Humanity!

Former Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany has jumped into the Niedermüller fray over here - and why wouldn't he? After all, he is an avowed leftist, avidly serves the global elite, and is the founder of the political party of which Niedermüller is a member.

I don't particularly care about Ferenc Gyurcsány, but I am intrigued by some of the rhetoric being employed by the Left as they attempt to squirm their way out of this rather uncomfortable Niedermüller situation. For his part, Gyurcsány has decided to employ the "I'm a white, heterosexual Christian male, too; but unlike most white, heterosexual Christian males, my Christianity doesn't prevent me from loving people who are not like me" spiel. 

His words (translated by me):

Other humans exist. They aren't white. They aren't Christian. They aren't heterosexual. Humans. My fellow humans. But there are those who scorn the non-white, the non-Christian, the non-heterosexual - and speak of them contemptuously. And their actions mirror these attitudes. They harm these people, beat them, persecute them, and kill them. I find all of this horrifying. In my view all of it amounts to a crime against humanity, humanism, and Christianity. 

The kind of world I would like to have is one in which people will be cared for and feel safe, not just because they are white, Christian, and heterosexual, but because they are human beings. And this is the most important thing. 
 
 

I don't believe any explicit commentary is necessary, but, among other questions, I would like to ask Mr. Gyurcsány where he kept these noble sentiments over the past two decades when mostly non-white Christians were being harmed, beaten, persecuted, and killed in the Middle East and northern Africa. 

In any case, we know the drill. Christians are the oppressors and the intolerant bigots. No one is expected to embrace anything remotely pro-Christian, pro-heterosexual, or pro-native European in the West. On the contrary, people are encouraged to flaunt and promote everything that is anti-Christian, anti-heterosexual, and anti-native European (which is essentially what Niedermüller's original 'scary formation/construction' about family boils down to).

Conversely, native-European, heterosexual Christians are expected to enthusiastically embrace, support, and love everything that actively works against them and their faith for the sake of humanity because that is what defines a good, native-European, heterosexual Christian.

The sad thing is, most native-European, heterosexual Christians already have embraced all of that. And by doing so, they have elevated the leftist idol of humanity above everything else.

​Oh, the idolatry . . . I mean, humanity!

That's what they call 'doubling-down'! When somebody has to lie so flagrantly about the situation and the motives of their opponents (and expects his lies to be supported by the media and Establishment) then you know that he knows he is lying.

In a rational world, with Godly people, this will be obvious, and will provoke a severe backlash against the totalitarian Left; which is probably the best hope at present.

But people who are trying to turn-round the trend of decades must be prepared for short/ medium-term suffering; since the Establishment can and will ensure that this is inflicted. Christians used to be able to accept, even embrace, suffering in a good cause - we will see whether that is still the case.

@ Bruce - Gyurcsány is an exceptional piece of work. I actually have a soft spot in my heart for him because he single-handedly, albeit unintentionally, destroyed the political left in Hungary back in 2009 through his notorious Őszöd speech:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%90sz%C3%B6d_speech

Gyurcsány is on par with leftist politicians in the West. Orbán is, at best, an authentic Christian-nationalist leader, or, at worst, the least leftist leader of the current political parties in Europe. Time will tell. In either case, the Establishment is certainly against Orbán.

I'll be curious to see which way the people in this part of the world go. Will central / eastern Europe have a separate destiny, or will it fall into the abyss the same way Western Europe appears to be falling?

Suffering is not an issue here. Hungarian history is full of it. The question is, will Hungarians willingly accept more for a good cause, or will they choose comfort and convenience instead. This is unclear to me at the moment. Once again, time will tell.

Bruce - The speech was in 2006, not 2009. The left's catastrophic loss began in 2009 as a result.
