Don't get excited, it's not available yet.

Also, it doesn't sound like anything new, it's just Ravenholm in winter. Nothing about the actual Borealis.

Given that they're organizing on Telegram, I'm guessing they're seeded and encouraged by Russia.

One of those two people is going to be elected. One of them will do nothing, and the other will actively make it worse.
