Obviously true, but I initially read it as the shitpost title "Neither Mario Party in the US [etc]"

This looks like it's sort of a far-right parody of dual power, so I think that it's the inevitable product if they are anywhere near successful that they will use the political and cultural power of the municipal institutions that they've seized in order to spread fascism among the general population.

You are probably right, I was really just trying to talk about how, as it currently stands, the people who use the term are basically just expressing either that they fell for a thought-terminating cliche or are expecting their audience to fall for it.

It means Solidarnosk won and solidarity lost.

The estimated rate of child trafficking multiplied ~fourfold and there were excess deaths comparable to the Great Famine despite the much more highly-developed infrastructure

I think it's probably better to simply say that "authoritarian" is a buzzword, though your implied argument that all states work by exerting authority on (at least some portion of) their population is certainly true. Anyone who uses a term like "authoritarian" rather than even a marginally more-descriptive negative term like, idk, "bureaucratic" or "state capitalist" (which gets misused, but I digress) is immediately demonstrating themselves to have untrustworthy judgement on the topic

I think flat-earthers would contend that that's a very political lie

You do know that the question is phrased in reference to Nazi propaganda in general and a famous quote from Goebbels in particular, right?

It always weirded me out that people believed what the marketing implied. Like, it's a problem with the eye, no change in the color your eye is exposed to will somehow fix a problem that is within the eye. If those glasses were able to make you see blue or whatever, you wouldn't be color-blind!

It's what I was taught in American public school ~15 years ago

Also, we'll have plenty of formerly-young people who age into being similar to what the boomers are now
