The foreign propagandists are nationalists and the domestic MSM is anti-nationalist. Weird huh? The anti-nationalists are saying because you support strengthening national sovereignty you are subversive to the nation and anti-patriotic. War is peace. Freedom is slavery and all that.
- int_19h 8y ago"Strengthening national sovereignty" is often a thinly veiled synonym for "putting a bunch of strong-hand authoritarians in charge and letting them suppress opposition". A good example of that is PiS in Poland. If you believe that political freedom is a core part of your national identity, then fighting back against those people is very much patriotic.

- lubiesezamki 8y ago>Taking control of the Supreme Court. Or maybe even Constitutional Tribunal? :-) Anyway, I'm still waiting for examples of opposition oppression, not squabbles between politicians and part of judiciary (which, I hope, is not considered to be opposition).
- gdy 8y agoWhat do you think the control the Court is needed for?

- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI'm less familiar with the situation in France, but I'm going to guess that they share some players in common with the foreign propagandists we had here in the US. They weren't nationalists - they backed nationalists. And they also backed anti-nationalists. The intent was to cause division and strife, and thereby weaken the country. Because this is a foreign power trying to weaken the country, labeling them "nationalists" is completely mistaken.
