Everyone except me are brainwashed, that’s why I can’t refute literally anything of what they’re saying.

Not to mention the nightmarish logistical issues that made invasion and occupation of such a large territory extremely arduous.

Don’t kid yourself, you wouldn’t read it anyway.

They’re probably going to attempt to take all of us with them.

Well, that is because those people are pro-capitalists too (left-leaners meaning social democrats i.e. not socialists). The meme is more of a reference to right-wingers/the alt right who loathe things like immigration from the global south kept under the boot of imperialism even though it’s a necessary mean to keep profits up in this “free market” they so love.

Because he’s mommy’s special boy who knows everything i.e. like most people on top of Mount Stupid on the Dunning-Kruger effect curve.

I mean, she’s basically a figurehead for the evironmental movement who has no experience or isn’t well read enough to have a clue where she actually stands politically i.e. the quintessential liberal.

She is 20 years old, I wish people would stop using the cop out that she is a child or a teen because of her small figure (not saying you necessarily did that but I’ve seen that a lot), but I get what you mean with her being autistic as it can definitely be harder to depict the body language.

She’s the literal embodiment of white, middle-class European bourgeois sentiment.

She is the child of famous Swedish actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman (who represented Sweden in Eurovision 2009), so when she got famous I suspected it was some kind of stunt pushed by her parents as, like with many rich and privileged people, they probably had plenty of contacts on their deck to be able to garner media attention. It doesn’t surprise me that she and her family would be the milquetoast white liberal Swedes that they are.

That dude really hit us with the same old “100 gorillion dead” talking point while being smug about it in a thread about shit political takes. 💀 You couldn’t make this up.

The horseshit theory

There is already the term dronie which is a defender of neoliberalism and their imperialistic policies.

Could you cite the source for it? Would fit nicely into my folder.

Thank you for the detailed response! It makes sense that the country’s dissatisfaction with the past government stems from these points and not only young people or the current ownership of the media, but it really makes me think why an understanding of imperialism as well as the reason behind consumer goods being so common in the west should be a fundamental part of socialist education as to not make people look to the west as something people would want to strive to be like.

And to fill in on the last point, I’ve also noticed the complete apathy to rising cost of living in my country. No one is protesting or doing anything about it. Most people aren’t politically engaged because they seem to feel it’s a headache with all the commotion that politics is associated with so they think just voting for a populist is enough and they wont boycott or go on strikes because it’s just more inconvenient than forcing a change. It seems as if the risk of the strikes or protests being getting broke is what is disincentivizes people to take action (although France would be a different case). The labour movement here seems completely dead when it should be on the rise. People being so indifferent about the state of their livelihood is a red flag to me (pun not intended) as it seems to symbolize the control that people now are living under.

What would you say is the reason for the propaganda going on there? Were people not satisfied with the Polish socialist government or is it that the bourgeoisie took over the media and decided to propagandize heavily to ensure they stay in power?
