It regained popularity due to the far right using it to stigmatize anything loosely associated with left wing values, but it was actually coined… by the communist regime apparatchiks to mark out dissenters. There’s a pretty interesting Polish book on the term itself. BTW Polish radio is a state owned media.
In a way jt is fascinating to watch the US goverment dismantle their empire on fast forward. With this single “conversation” they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.
Wonder if some hardliners from CIA or such will decide to sort out this threat to their power, or will they just accept going down.
