Btw this so from post-Peru election, Fujimori supporters cry "fraud" and say they won't accept a Pedro Castillo presidency. Sauce here: https://twitter.com/kawsachunnews/status/1403140557145247745?s=21 Posting on /c/news since the thread is worth a read to get the contexts.

      nah I’m not gonna die for line go up

      laughs in mandarin

      You think fleeing from Communism makes Big Line Go Up? How many recessions do you think the capitalists will get before the end of this decade?

    Probably the same reason I see a lot of "eat the rich" and similar stickers around my city even tho I live in Poland.

    English is basically an universal language now, I don't think you need to overthink it.

      Way more right wing movements use english than left wing.

      But according to Adam Curtis and Dugin’s playbook from Russia, funding both sides can be useful. Perhaps that’s the deal in a fascist-run Poland, to keep those in power in check. But in most of the world it is the right wing that is connected to and funded by the US and global capitalist interests.

      It's a business language. So if you're doing a lot of international trade and travel, it's incredibly useful.

      But if you're trying to rally support for your cause in a country that is overwhelmingly Spanish speaking... ? It's like doing a publicity stunt in Mandurian from French Quebec.

        Why are there American right-wingers who love Evola or talk about being "Volkish"? It's classic internationalism.

      Well I do want to put on my nerd hat and claim these two are different phenomenons. This is actually closer to a Peru ver. Alt-right/Q situation, which means they are probably more influenced by American right-wingers via online interactions than any sector of the Peruvian society (even the conservative one).

      This guy’s thread explains the situation better than my post. You could ignore my arguments and read the thread here: https://twitter.com/osamabishounen/status/1403148258407370752?s=21

    The young male gusanos in their natural plumage, resident in capitals around the world, migrate back to their place of birth temporarily to secure their lifestyle and keep the country peasants in line.

    They're sending a message to the source of income they need to fund their sabotage and colour revolution activities. You don't get jack shit without demonstrating you can get bodies to do things first.

    In future we'll be putting our signs in both English and Chinese as we ask them to fund our various orgs.

    lmao that literally looks like the same Latin American upper middle-class reactionary white dude ctrl-c ctrl-v'd, we have that type of guy over here as well

    I bet he has plenty of opinions about political correctness, invests in the stock market and is currently saving up money to go to Orlando... and I say he, not they because, as I said, it's literally just the same dude copy pasted three times

    they won’t accept a Pedro Castillo presidency

    Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Despair, Acceptance

    Guess they're somewhere between one and two.

      That's kinda what I was thinking. The United States is the imperial power that intervenes and replaces governments around the world on a whim. It's like making an appeal to the gods.
