We can though. Yes it was a minority of a minority and not likely to have made a difference. I blame everyone who voted for the end of democracy, human rights, rule of law, but especially those who voted most against their own interest
Latinos and people from West Virginia. wtf did you do that for. You’re the people hurt the most, but you’re taking the rest of us down with you
Reminds me of all the Latinos who vote for Trump.
Lots of misinformation in la familia group chat
"Well, wants to send me and people like me to a concentration camp, but I do hate gay people sooooooooooooooooooo"

Nostalgia for being oppressed is in full force.
"Ștefan Șerban, 69, sitting on a bench with his friend Nicolae Carja, 74, said life had been better under the former Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceauşescu. “We were a rich country then,” he said. “Industry, petrol, gas, goldmines. And no debt.”"
I swear to God, I feel like the global rise in far-right parties has less to do with any kind of global cabal, and more to do with the fact that Boomers everywhere are powered by nostalgia. Seems like Boomers everywhere will stop at nothing to bring back the world of their parents that they never experienced.
Just look at how much of Russia's foreign policy is basically "damn, remember when we were the USSR?"
Read a book called 'Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler. He wrote it around 1970 and pretty much predicted everything that happened since. "Future shock" was his term for the madness that people would embrace when they realized they couldn't/wouldn't deal with the changes that the shift from the Industrial Age to the Digital Era would bring.

Rich? They were poor AF and everybody knew it, it was a rolling joke in the west.
"They yearn for the mines".
Except it became so expensive to run them.
Similar thing happened to the copper mines of Hungary, at one point it became so expensive to mine it was cheaper and easier to shut them off, at least temporarily. We potentially even have some gold in the same mine, it's just allegedly so deep no current technology is able to mine them.
Same with the local closed coalmines, but with environmental concerns, and my house is sinking because of them. However, there's way more conspiracy theory is out there about them.
I was memeing my friend, but ty for the info, it's interesting to learn. Upvoted.
like all russian pensioners saying life was better under stalin since they could just move into an apartment of the people whose whole family was killed.
