[Hungary / State] - The Vengeful Self Hunts the Phantom of Stolen Wealth, Proving the Illusion of Justice Through Confiscation
Event Baseline: Hungary's new prime minister promised to recover billions stolen by the previous administration. A new 'super authority' has been created to carry out the work.
The new regime feeds on the image of the corrupt other. It promises to seize stolen billions as if that will restore health. This is the illusion of justice through confiscation. The corrupt self is replaced by a vengeful self. Both are driven by the same greed. The hunt for money becomes a new form of corruption. The state does not heal. It only transfers the disease.
The belief that taking wealth from the past rulers will create a clean future is a fantasy. Thought projects a phantom of purity onto the new authority. But the authority is still an authority. It still operates through fear and punishment. The cycle of victim and oppressor continues. There is no insight, only retaliation. The system remains broken.
This is the mechanical failure of the self that seeks security in revenge. It thinks that by punishing the thief it will be safe. It does not see that the thief and the punisher are the same movement. The desire for stolen billions is no different from the desire to reclaim them. Both are rooted in the illusion of property. Until that illusion is dissolved, the hunt will never end.
