Social Media Cheat-Sheet: Challenging the System

The art of intervention – and how we respond.

As part of our mockumentary project “The Horten Mystery,” we not only document the power structures but also enter into a dialogue with the actors of current politics. Here you will find a collection of pointed, satirical, and fact-based responses specifically tailored to the defense lines of the ÖVP and FPÖ.


🏛️ Focus: ÖVP (Topic: Political Patronage / "Citizen's Request")

When they say: “I'm just committed to the region / That was a normal citizen's request.”

  • Response 1: “Interesting. Since when is a 98-point qualification a 'citizen's request' that needs to be 'optimized' with 62 points? Asking for a friend named Christa Scharf. #Patronage”
  • Response 2: “Every SMS is a point in the mosaic. We call it the Pointillism of Power. From a distance, you see the whole picture of corruption; up close, they are 'just favors.' #HortenMystery”

When they say: “The justice system is politicized / We are victims of a hunting party.”

  • Response 3: “Anyone who declares the rule of law a 'hunting party' is usually afraid of the facts. A 98-point hearing doesn't lie, nor do SMS messages. #WKStA”

🦅 Focus: FPÖ (Topic: Rosenkranz / Inquiry Committee)

When they say: “We protect democracy / Fighting the system.”

  • Response 4: “Protecting democracy by leading inquiry committees with party loyalty instead of objectivity? That's not protection; that's walling in the truth. #Rosenkranz”

When they say: “All lies of the system media.”

  • Response 5: “When facts (like bank statements and chats) become 'lies,' the script of post-truth is complete. We are currently filming it as a mockumentary. #HortenMystery”

Use these responses to draw attention to our project:

  • “Thanks for this live content! This fits perfectly in Scene 42 ('The Aesthetic of Small Things'). We are currently re-enacting this. #HortenMystery”
  • “Is this already the official defense or just a teaser for our film? The similarities to fiction are purely systemic. #PointillismOfMoney”
