The real Ghost of Kyiv
I genuinely think Assad and Zelenskyy memes are touching a nerve of reality. From a previous comment:
There are only two types of people in the West that know about Assad. Those two are (a) Leftists, and (b)
So if you are bringing up Assad in a general conversation, those are by and large the only people who would care. That begs the question whenever Assad is brought up by a politician: "Who is your audience?" For politicians the audience is overwhelmingly for Government and their corporations. That means politicians are ignoring domestic issues like (for example...) 40MM Americans are in poverty or school shootings or that all basic goods shot up 20%+ in price in a few years. Those are hardly the only issues, but you must put all of them on the backburner to care about some leader in the Middle-East. Thus the meme, and the attention on Assad in general, is an excellent display of disconnect from actual living breathing people. As such, Assad-obsessed politicians generally lose to other politicians that focus more on their electorate.
tl;dr:
I need an effortpost of some sort on Assad. What is his whole deal? What was the origin for the colour revolution in Syria? What is the day to day like in Syria now? Is he a puppet or a statesman? What is he up to over there?
Abe, Bojo, Truss... who are the rest of the small squares?
I can stay?
He's wireless too:
Except Kaczyński's got a non-zero chance of regaining power
I mean he surely will with how Polish politics is a regular pendulum, question is, will he live to see it or the Zelesnky's Death Grip will Abe him sooner.
I think there's a decent chance of the government collapsing should the PiS candidate win the presidential election
Who do you think they will post?
It doesn't matter much because it'll be a vote against the 15th October Coalition rather than a vote for PiS.
I can't believe they'd be so stupid to post Czarnek, though there might be some wisdom behind it
I mean people did elected Dupa twice so everything is possible
Our leader is unaffected. Indian scientific temper > Superstition
His party lost majority and had to form a coalition govt. Plans fro amending the consitution put on hold.
its just a meme but regardless, Indian scientific temper is laughable when the Prime Minister said god sent him.
Indeed a meme.
Our constitution asks us to develop scientific temper. But we have stuff like this.
