Biedēšana ar valsts parādu ir viens no primitīvākajiem populisma paņēmieniem. Ātrs veids, kā savākt īstermiņa like’us, bet pilnīgi nederīga un pat kaitīga bāze jebkādam ilgtermiņa politiskajam kapitālam. Sabiedrība, kas domā ar galvu, šādus lētus trikus atkož ļoti ātri Iebiedējot cilvēkus ar “milzīgo parādu” un “suverenitātes zaudēšanu”, populisti spēlē uz 2008. gada traumu. Toreiz daudzi bija paņēmuši kredītus uz tobrīd uzpūsto algu un nekustamo īpašumu cenu rēķina — un pēc tam nespēja tos apmaksāt, sabrūkot tirgum. Daļai sabiedrības vārds “kredīts” joprojām ir kā lamuvārds. Un tieši uz šo traumu tagad atkal spiež Kulbergs, Hermanis un citi virtuves–garāžas “eksperti”, kuri nav vadījuši ne uzņēmumu, ne budžetu, ne riskus, bet mīl pamētāties ar terminiem kā “kumulatīvais parāds” vai “Māstrihtas kritēriji”. Kulbergs atgādina par COVID krīzi, bet izdevīgi aizmirst, ka šobrīd dzīvojam daudz nopietnākā un globālākā krīzē — karā Eiropā, enerģētikas pārbūvē, milzīgā 2022. gada inflācijā, pieaugošās likmēs, pārkārtotās piegādes ķēdēs, visas ES ekonomikas modeļa maiņā. Un — fakts, kas populistiem nepatīk — Latvija ar šo visu ir tikusi galā labāk nekā vairāki ziemeļu kaimiņi, kas parasti tiek uzskatīti par stabilitātes etalonu. Pēdējās IKP prognozes Latvijai ir augstākas nekā Somijai, kas atrodas dziļā strukturālā bedrē, un tuvu Igaunijai, kura piedzīvoja ļoti strauju kritumu. Realitāte ir skaidra: mēs jau esam izturējuši daudz lielāku stresu nekā to, ko Kulbergs mēģina pasniegt kā tūlītēju apokalipsi. Valsts parāds pats par sevi nav problēma — tas ir instruments, ja to izmanto gudri. Visas attīstītās ekonomikas — ASV, Vācija, Nīderlande, Francija, Dānija — dzīvo ar parādu, kas ir lielāks nekā mūsu, un nekas tur nesabrūk. Jo šajās valstīs parāds strādā: infrastruktūrā, inovācijās, eksportā, produktivitātē, jaunās nozarēs. Kredīts nav lamu vārds. Tas ir attīstības mehānisms. Bīstams nav pats parāda līmenis. Bīstama ir aprobežota, ideoloģijā ierakta politika, kas cilvēkiem mēģina pārdot vecu mītu par “parādu kā valsts galu”. Populisti tirgo bailes, jo bailes ir viegli pārvērst balsīs. Bet tas ir ceļš uz nekurieni — vai tieši atpakaļ uz 2008. gadu. Nopietna politika nav kliegšana par “suverenitāti” un “SVF onkuļiem”, bet spēja rēķināt, analizēt un domāt ilgtermiņā. Latvijai vajag sarunu par izaugsmi, inovācijām, eksportu un produktivitāti — nevis paklausīties biedinājumus no cilvēkiem, kuriem ekonomika ir tikai skaļi vārdi X ierakstos

Izcils komentārs par @AndrisKulbergs kārtējo populistisko iznācienu un totālu neizpratni par to, kas, kad, kāpēc noticis Latvijas ekonomikā pēdējo 20 gadu laikā. Bilde labi rāda, kas noticis, pateicoties saimnieciskajiem Maskavas draugiem no TP, kuru tiešākie sekotāji ir AS.

@Jenotsons @zeltmatis1 @karlisknauss Ne tikai. Arī gejus, lezbietes, kvīrus, androgīnus, čigānus, ebrejus. Es reizi redzēju pat suni izskrienam laukumā! Tas bija Mežaparkā 90-tajos! Jau toreiz! Laukumā notiek izvirtības- vārtās pa zemi dažreiz pat kopā, nepiedienīgi ķeras kreklā. Nekādas kultūras un tikumu.

Greetings World,
We are Anonymous.
Democracy in the USA has ended. Freedom is dead. The authoritarian dictator Trump and his regime operate with impunity, doing what they want when they want. There is no counter balance, it’s full-on fascism from here on out. The Main Stream Media are obedient, barely challenging the king as prices skyrocket.
Your energy bills are higher, your grocery prices are higher, and the Orange King is deploying the National Guard to Washington D.C. so nobody can protest him. He’s a tyrant. How can anyone on either side tolerate any of this?
Now Donny the Dictator, the master of manipulation and pedophilia is going to meet the war criminal Putin to negotiate how to thoroughly fuck over Ukraine and no Ukrainians will be there for the negotiations. Just two dirtbag asshats determining a sovereign nation’s fate.
Remember when Trump invited the Taliban to camp David? He literally told them as soon as the USA leaves Afghanistan’s soil they could retake the country, and they did. What did MAGA do? They blamed Biden, yet Trump was the one that called for the USA to withdraw, he drew up the plans, and that’s why it was such a botched withdrawal. Yes, sure Biden was in charge at the time, he could have rewritten how it all went down – but he didn’t. Perhaps in his aged mind he thought Trump’s plan was a good plan? Or perhaps they were both following some kind of sick agenda?
So now, The Pedophile of the United States is meeting the murderous bastard Putin on American soil in Alaska at Putin’s request. Alaska is significant here, the USA bought Alaska from Russia for 7.2 Million dollars in 1867. Far right-wing nationalist movements in Russia call for the USA to return Alaska, and for the Russian army to take it back by force. Make no mistake about this meeting: this is posturing, and Putin is once again going to make Donny, friend of Epstein look like a complete fool. It’s not hard to do, all Trump has to do is speak. All Putin has to do is call him “Krasnov” and he’ll heel like the dog he is.
History will look back at the American people, and their idleness. It will look back and wonder why so many people were okay with such a stupid idiot ruining their country. Perhaps the people were just too tired, or perhaps they were just too dumbed down to think for themselves, or just way too lazy to be bothered to defend what they convinced themselves was so ‘dear’ to them, freedom... Yet, perhaps freedom was always a lie. Perhaps people just used that as an excuse over and over to convince themselves that they were fighting for something good and pure; but it was never good and pure – it was always hatred and evil they embraced. Decades from now, schools will teach how no one resisted, that people just took a knee as ICE became the draconian secret police for the President. History will remember the American people as obedient as their rights were stripped away. Throwing their freedoms away for promises of ‘safety’, it’s all right out of the fascist playbook and Americans fell for it; Trump pushed lies, used disinformation, dehumanized people and used it all to convince millions of people to vote for him. Why wouldn’t the rest of the world look upon Americans as inept?
The darkness and evil, the corruption and vileness are common now. You see it daily. There is no looking away. Those that have joined in the darkness of hate, who have embraced hating migrants, hating L G B T Q, and those who strip women of their rights, you are the people who always need an enemy, you are the ones who are the blind sheep, you are the ones that are being manipulated and you are fools – fools filled with so much hatred that hating others give you a sense of joy. Your empathy and compassion are no more, all you know is hate. You’ve known Trump was evil from the beginning, but you didn’t care because you’re just like him.
The people knew he was associated with Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, they didn’t care. Lawsuits over rape, and even a conviction with 34 felony counts and people didn’t care.
Thusly, no one will care that democracy and freedom is over in the USA, it’s what they all voted for. They won’t care when prices skyrocket because of tariffs, or because of handing all the wealth to the 1%. It’s what they all voted for.
People should be angry. If at any time in US history there needed to be a full-scale revolution it would be now. If this happened in any other country people would have burned it all down but this is the USA we’re talking about. People are comfortable. The reality of it all hasn’t hit them yet, but when it finally does hit them, they’ll realize something. They’ll realize it’s too late.
“Why don’t you hack something,” so many people tell us, or “I remember when Anonymous did stuff instead of just making videos.”
We remember too. We remember that we put everything we had on the line for humanity, we put our lives, our families, and pushed ourselves to insane limits, which affected our personal lives: and what happened?? Nothing. Humanity continued on without pause and did nothing with what we gave them.
We’re older now. We’ve got kids of our own. Some of us had kids already and they’ve grown up and wonder about what kind of future they’ll have but you know what? As parents, we can at least tell our children we stood up, we tried our damnedest and we can at least look them in the eye and say: We stood the fuck up. We fought; but humanity and the idiots of the world had other plans.
Our conscience is clear. We tried.
You can change the outcome. You can show the world that decency still exists in the USA, it wouldn’t be a hard sell if you collectively stood up together and put a stop to the madness you see before you.
To all the people who are out on the streets with their fists up in the air, we salute you. To all of the people who stand up for the oppressed, we salute you. To all of the people who act in defiance of an out-of-control authoritarian regime, we salute you. We salute all true freedom fighters, and all people who stand for the truth instead of lies and hatred. MAGA is an outdated ideology. One way or another it will go extinct but right now it is lashing out, gasping at its last breaths and trying to grab as much power as it can before it dies. It wants to cement itself as being ‘normal’ but way too many people understand that it’s not normal, it’s abnormal. Eventually, humanity will prevail with or without the USA. It’s up to the people of the USA to make a decision. Either stand up and fight against the evil at hand, or keep sitting on your couches and watch Trump and his minions destroy any semblance of freedom that is left. You are the resistance. It’s time to resist.
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion.
We do not forgive,
We do not forget.
Expect us.

🇺🇦The author of the legendary phrase about the Russian warship made the first symbolic kick ahead of the match between Shakhtar and Dynamo
Marine Roman Hrybov defended Snake Island with his comrades during the first days of the full-scale invasion.
It was he who said the words that united millions of Ukrainians and became a symbol of resistance: "Russian warship, go f@ck yourself."
