the new president of colombia starts today:
an atheist who found god conveniently during campaign, and fundies love him even when the year before was against god
he identifies himself as a tiger because milei got the lion before
wants to close palestine’s embassy and restore the zionist embassy because he is a vassal of trump and he has american citizenship
will remove capture order against bibi because being for palestine is something for “dirty zurdos”
he wants to larp as bukele and milei because rightoids love bukele
wants to disembowel leftists and opposition
their party tries to pass a law with an anticommunist week in schools copying USA
he stole elections with help of trump and a corporation linked to fraud in USA and other countries (thomas greg and sons)
give your support for colombia and pray for the ELN and iran give a lesson to this worm
i genuinely don’t get how south-american rightists still manage to present themselves as “patriotic”, when they have such an obvious disdain for their own people and such a glaring inferiority complex towards the yanks.
in my learning, anticommunist propaganda make people lean into a clear conman rather than an apparent communist, because those wage workers without workers benefits want to save the property that they possess on credit and they don’t want to see expropiated the house they live on rent
It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.
The idea of “patriotism” is an American cultural export. People loved their countries before, chuds are “patriotic”. This wave flagging hand in chest national anthem singing thing is not “patriotism”, it’s Americanism.
So yeah, these chuds are “patriotic”, as in they are fully absorbed into american cultural exports and basically act like American chuds in every way.
huh, interesting. this seems to be somewhat of a latin american regional peculiarity.
the country i’m originally from used to use the term patriotism quite differently back during the socialist era, teaching people to be proud of the socialist and internationalist homeland.
later, during the crises and wars of the 90s, you kind of had two parallel uses: on the one hand, you had the more genuine and positive use by people striving to preserve our culture and identity in the face of western and western-backed assault, but on the other hand, you had the criminal and treacherous governments, who were responsible for the catastrophe in the first place, leveraging such feelings as a smokescreen for their actions. that latter “chest-thumping and flag-waving” type of “hurrah-patriotism” is still commonly utilised by the bourgeois dictatorship whenever it needs to hide some crime or other, though it has semi-recently been increasingly superseded by atlanticist factions trying to introduce a kind of “western identity,” which is quite absurd given our history and geographical location, but sadly seems to be working scarily well.
in the western european country i currently live in, meanwhile, it mostly just gets used as a dogwhistle for neo-nazism, lmao.
Yeah no but that’s exactly what I meant.
It’s getting rarer and rarer to see “true” right wing patriots. They are all turning into atlanticists (or us empire-cists).
Prostituting to the US pays better. Political sexwork, if you will.
I don’t even know if that’s it… most of them aren’t even getting paid to do it. Much to the contrary, they are the ones spending their money funding the grift.
A favorite tactic of the empire is appropriate, pervert.
