    A tale as old as time. Rightists aren’t original, which is why their media/comedians/movies/music/religions are terrible.

    Fascists cannot grow without co-opting leftist language. So yes, very worried.

    Edit: not related to this shitpost. People here seriously need to watch Prager’s content. They twist our shit up with their crazy.

      It’s also a very clever and awful propaganda strategy. They misuse words with important meanings until they become useless reactionary buzzwords. Like how woke, and politically correct before it, originally meant “to be aware of the unequal treatment of minorities in society” and “politicians should be aware of how the language they use affects people,” and now they both just mean “anything that I, as a conservative, don’t like.”
