The style of the discourse is passionate and insistent, particularly when addressing the topic of the elderly, employing emotional appeals (the choice between paying the electricity bill and buying medication, painting a depressing picture). At the same time, these emotional claims are supported by extensive statistics and facts. The tone is sharply critical of the government and formal, often addressing followers directly via the internet.

The rhetorical style is urgent, confrontational, and strongly critical, especially towards the Finance Minister, whose behavior is described as "embarrassing and sad." Both logical arguments (economic data, international examples) and emotional and populist appeals are used, emphasizing that "the people sustain the state." The speaker is direct and is not afraid of the minister's reprimand regarding the political message displayed on their shirt.

An emphatically emotional and critical tone, often posed as questions, speaking forcefully and sometimes using examples stated with manic intensity.

Crucially, it is simultaneously fact-based and properly referenced with data. The communication typically takes the form of a speech intended to stir up emotions while also presenting concrete demands and alternatives.

The focus is on a confrontational and agitated tone, often utilizing a recurring triad (crisis of democracy, crisis of governance, demographic crisis), alongside direct questions and emotional standpoints. The text — and especially the discussion of showcase bills — is repeatedly characterized by criticism and rhetorical outbursts, which offer snap elections and changes as an alternative. Speakers combine emotional drivers with verified references to facts.

The approach is serious, yet it strategically uses humor and engaging rhetoric (like the egg example) as devices, alongside direct questions posed to the audience and colleagues. This strikes a balance between emotional and logical argumentation. The style is often sharp and critical, but simultaneously detailed and data-centric. A diverse format is employed: discussions, inquiries, slogans, and examples drawn from everyday life.

66 Speeches
The core content is usually combative and targeted, often employing rhetorical devices (pointed examples, exclamations, questions), and maintains an emotional and provocative tone. In these texts, the presentation of facts and figures is frequently mixed with contradictory claims; viewpoints are defended forcefully, and there are often calls for collective cooperation, but the criticism remains heavily focused on the government.
