It's too close to call, but fucking hell, the liberal candidate just said how he wants to build bridges and be a president of all Poles, the conservative one is quoting the Bible and says how he would fight the evil other side – and yes, he's a former pimp lol. I hope the pro-European side will win but for fucks sake, half of my country just voted for a fucking gangster. This is insane any way one looks at it...

Edit: it doesn't matter, it seems like we're fucked. No official results yet, but it looks terribly bad with the late poll results.

Pretty remarkable how hard right conservative candidates in every western country end up being complete pieces of shit.

Seriously, we need to never let the right and media memory hole Cambridge Analytica.

Yeah the thing that worries me with Cambridge Analytica is how little we hear about its successors. That definitely wasn't the end of the experiment or its competitors. For a start most of its staff formed a new company Emerdata Limited and later Auspex international.

Those cretins are still around, now called Emerdata.

I've almost completely forgotten about Zuckerberg.

That is honestly a mistake. The guy has crawled fully up MAGAs rectum in an attempt to avoid angering the TACO guy.

Everything that man does is toxic and will impact you in some way, even if indirectly.

r/europe too.

It may have changed now that Trump and Russia exposed the alt/far rights as clowns, but before that this sub was (still is ?) an alt/far right cesspool when social issues are brought up.

Just mention immigrants or Muslims and you can watch this devolve into a cesspit of right wing talking points.

Are people really that surprised far right candidates are becoming popular when they find themselves side by side with them?

u/ShermanMcTank France Jun 01 '25

I always roll my eyes when I see this subreddit act surprised by that fact.

I remember in a post here about adoption rights in Italy for LGBT, a commenter was surprised to see so many homophobes.

Well that’s what happen when you spend years feeding the far right by fearmongering about « the gays » and Muslims.

Russia has been working on it for a deacde.

*For centuries.

Did you know that modern anti-Semitism, including in Nazi Germany, was created and spread by russia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a fabricated text purporting to detail a Jewish plot for global domination. Largely plagiarized from several earlier sources, it was first published in Imperial Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. It played a key part in popularizing belief in an international Jewish conspiracy.

The text was exposed as fraudulent by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and by the German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924. Beginning in 1933, distillations of the work were assigned by some German teachers, as if they were factual, to be read by German schoolchildren throughout Nazi Germany. It remains widely available in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by antisemitic groups as a genuine document. It has been described as "probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written".

Odd how it doesn't seem to work in reverse.

Russia is a dictatorship with strict controls on all sorts of things, including media access and quality.

u/ThirteenBlackCandles Jun 02 '25 edited Jun 02 '25

It doesn't really seem like it.

I used to play Fortnite with a friend in Belgorod, and despite sanctions, yadda yadda, we've never had any issues sharing anything back and forth with one another - be it media, news, etc.

You basically just showcased how little you know about this when you mentioned fortnight.

Decade? Putin has been working on this anti-democracy project ever since the USSR dissolved in the 90’s.

u/CMuenzen Poland if it was colonized by Somalia Jun 02 '25

The Soviet Union had been working on that since it was founded.
