This is ridiculous. Finkelstein's main tactic was to label opponents as: "embarassingly liberal", "hopelessly liberal", "incurably liberal", "ludicrously liberal"... etc. Not sure how that translates into Hungarian, but it's not even an agenda, just a campaign tactic.

But at base, your problem is that you are trying to build a *theory of European nationalist politics* on the back of miscellaneous contextless information about campaign consultants.
In its original form, you’ll note “Finkelthink” was a far more coherent theory. It was about how evil American Republicans helped Orbán smear Soros as a campaign tactic. For this they had information provided by the campaign consultant Birnbaum.

None of this translates into actual policies. But it sounds good to an audience of Americans who have very little understanding of Hungarian politics or the broader political environment of Europe.

Anyway, you want to continue this, my DMs are open. Maybe there you'll be less focussed on performative gotcha moments and no longer feel the need to maintain the unwarranted confidence.
