Btw the translation in tweet is incorrect, it's not a statement that "Putin will deal" but an appeal for him "Putin, deal with Ukraine, Brussels and our government".
The soviet flag is almost certianly ironic but still absolutely shocking for Poland.
Well there were also tons of players playing it exactly because the game isn't any subtle about slavery and being hyped about that in reviews. So i would say that game that prompted such behaviour in both devs and players is not exactly sparkling cool.
Yeah i mostly meant some schadenfreude since some time ago i pointed that out, and some people sadly even from here and hex were telling me to touch grass because apparently jokes about slavery and exploitation are cool (?) when popular game dev make it. Well, it's not as popular now, probably as we speak g*mers are already bashing the game for how boring it is or because they didn't had enough slavery idk.
Butlerian jihad was direct cause setting up the of 15+ millenia of caste system, feudalism, slavery, suspicious tranhumanist sects preying on humanity, horrors of the Golden Path and its consequences, and multigalactic scale genocide in the scattering. So i would say, pretty bad.
He's somewhat right about Lenin though, Lenin pushed very hard for Ukraine, way harder than for any other nation in Russia. His reasons were acceptable at the point, but it backfired hard after 1991.
I looked it up a little, it's certainly not any official uniform of either RoC or Qing, but it does look as the traditional clothes of rich men, so i guess this does represent landlords or more generally traditional hierarchy.
In Poland, since 90's we are being actively misinformed in media and education system about economy. Industry is presented as obsolete by its nature, finance, service and rent is portrayed as the markings of modern, healthy economy. It's probably exactly the same in other EU countries.
About populism vs democracy, after 34 years of austerity and other neoliberal dogma, definition of "democracy" in Poland is literally "neoliberalism", so anything that breaks it, even such idiotic moves as PiS rightwing populism is percieved as fundamental danger.
Though the entire shitfest is mostly bullshit and public show. Thing is, before 2015 both PiS and PO were de facto two wings of the same neoliberal party (and direct continuation of the same in case of their predecessors AWS and UW), they enchanged members, and had similar everything, they didn't even fight too much and were commonly and aptly called "POPiS" (which also means "show" in Polish) because they were so close. Of course this was the de facto two-party system, not unlike in USA but with minor parties needed as adds.
PiS broke that deal in 2015 and grabbed everything they can, so PO is now dealing them the same. Problem is, those two parties are still fundamentally just two wings of neoliberal establishment and expect very little change in internal politics, at best returning to 2015 status, and absolutely nothing in foreign politics. Both sides also need themselves to keep their sweet status quo, so those arrested ministers are basically scapegoats.
A lot of public affairs, yelling, mindboggling stunts and affairs to be expected while a new pecking order is established.
Real change might come when Jarosław Kaczyński dies or retires, and PiS might tore itself down, but still i think it would be only real change for PiS and not for Poland.
Poland. Loud sounds of sabers rattling, though if you listen more closely, those are actually sounds of coconut shells and spurs being worn on bare feet.
