Is Russia not using social media and other factors to directly prop up nationalist factions in every NATO country to destabilize them?

catalans have wanted to separate for a long time. russian involvement is basically incidental here - the catalans didn't need any external prodding to hold the referendum, and spain didn't need an excuse to go full fash on the referendum.

Why leave to its own devices what you can instead shamelessly meddle in and suffer no consequences! It's like you've never read any fiction about villainous masterminds.

If anyone wants to know how much of racist engagement on Twitter is bot-related, check this out.

I got screenshot-tweeted by one of the more popular racists out there, that racist lady who's too racist for UKIP.

https://twitter.com/KTHopkins/status/914490201652826112

Typical emotional pablum bullshit, in her neverending call for war against Islam. Hitler conquered half of Europe and we didn't turn on our fellow citizens, I'll be goddamned if I let some bastard terrorist stabbing someone in a train station do it.


Anyway, check out the likes and retweets on that, fuuuuuuck, my mentions are gonna blow up, right? This was 2 and a half hours ago, I'm dreading checking into Twitter. Her army of totally real followers are really going to lay into me!

do their items names actually mean anything in Swedish or is it all gibberish

Bathroom articles = Names of Swedish lakes and bodies of water
Bed textiles = Flowers and plants
Beds, wardrobes, hall furniture = Norwegian place names
Bookcases = Professions, Scandinavian boy’s names
Bowls, vases, candle and candle holders = Swedish place names, adjectives, spices, herbs, fruits and berries
Boxes, wall decoration, pictures and frames, clocks = Swedish slang expressions, Swedish place names
Children’s products = Mammals, birds, adjectives
Desks, chairs and swivel chairs = Scandinavian boy’s names
Fabrics, curtains = Scandinavian girl’s names
Garden furniture = Scandinavian islands
Kitchen accessories = Fish, mushrooms and adjectives
Lighting = Units of measurement, seasons, months, days, shipping and nautical terms, Swedish place names
Rugs = Danish place names
Sofas, armchairs, chairs and dining tables = Swedish place names


lol at using Danish names for things you walk over

quote:

The rules for naming were devised by IKEA’s founder Ingvar Kamprad, who struggled with dyslexia and had trouble remembering the order of numbers in item codes. The name IKEA itself is acronym for Ingvar, Kamprad, Elmtaryd (his family’s farm) and Agunnaryd (the village in Småland where he grew up in).
