The audience for this is ethnic Russians in the Baltic countries. They want those folks to cause trouble even if they have no intention to do anything about it. Around of a quarter of Latvia and Estonia are ethnic Russians.
Ah the good old Lygen Presse from eh, 1930 Germany...
ü not y, or ue if have no umlaut on your keyboard.
Also 90 years later nothing changed and the far-right still use the exact same narrative, they just sometimes vary by calling is state or system media... as they are -like all good populists nowadays- pretending to fighting the evil democratic system to free all those poor oppressed citizens.
Hey, greetings from Hungary!
Populists have only exactly one playbook they all follow...
That's also the reason we constantly have déjà vus when looking at different countries. Doesn't matter if it's Hungary's government, Poland's (luckily soon to be gone) government, German AfD, US republicans or whoever, they all operate similiar. Also even if there are very obvious superficial differences that should bring them to different side of certain topics, they somehow manage to be best friends all the time. Because they are one big club united in fighting democracy to gain power.
Ah yeag Lügenpresse, thanks for the correction!
And fuck the fachos ofc.
