I have already written it once, but I’ll repeat it anyway: Golob’s government managed to plunge Slovenia into financial, economic, and social collapse in just four years. Living in a parallel world, where even mathematics works differently from what we learned in school, has had its consequences. Incorrect calculations and judgments that bear no relation to reality have become a constant feature of left‑wing politics. Two typical examples are the pay increases in the public sector (not a genuine pay reform) and Maljevac’s long‑term care system. Both have (and will) caused a billion-dollar financial hole, so Slovenia had to borrow money from the Chinese, which is always a big risk; it has been felt by every country that has decided to make this adventurous move.
Although progressive media (which makes up more than 90 percent of Slovenia’s media) tell us that finances are stable and that Golob’s moves are “envied by the whole world,” the question of how bad the situation really is on the sunny side of the Alps is not merely rhetorical. The answer is: much worse than it appears from the parallel reality. This is not a uniquely Slovenian phenomenon. Once‑thriving economies of Western democracies are now on the brink of collapse, which is already felt in Slovenia, whose economy depends on these countries. What happened? The entire spectrum of difficulties, pressures, and the state of permanent crises is the result of harmful policies pursued by globalist elites.
Some may remember, it was months ago, when the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, together with the Energy Commissioner, proudly announced that they had finally cut off gas supplies from Russia. What did these triumphant, smiling faces actually do? They contributed to today’s shortages of energy sources, the lack of oil, the closure of petrol stations, skyrocketing fuel prices, and people freezing in their homes; and now they demand energy saving. Of course, Brussels, which triggered this self‑destruction, is no longer to blame; instead, blame is placed on Putin and Trump. NGOs, generously funded from the European budget (seven percent of funds go to them), add that imperialist capitalism is at fault. This kind of rhetoric is also constant in Slovenia: the right is always blamed (especially SDS and Janez Janša), regardless of whether it holds executive power or sits in opposition. And if something worked, something implemented by the right, it was dismantled solely because it had been done by the right. Put differently: instead of improving things that worked, they dismantled them with Bolshevik zeal and embarked on experiments that are now proving pointless and harmful. Yet Golob, even today, as he invites political parties (with the exception of SDS) into his extended left‑wing coalition, stubbornly insists that “they will continue their work.” God have mercy on us if this really comes to pass, for the rising flames of hell (fanned by Marxist ideologues) of immorality, lies, greed, and corruption will finally destroy all that is good left.
In the parallel world, things look different. There, Golob is a moralist, a standard‑bearer in the fight against corruption, a top‑tier manager unlike any the world has seen, and Slovenia is among the most successful countries. The connecting link between the real and the parallel world, in which citizens supposedly live freely and better than ever, are the dominant media. The real question is not what left-wing journalists report, the real question is why ordinary people, who pay much more for everything every day, enjoy such media washouts. Not in all likelihood, most of them certainly want to believe that what the mainstream media projects into their brains is true. Somewhere deep down they know that reality is different, but there is nothing better than floating in the clouds on promises and believing that there is no better world than the one they live under. This kind of propaganda has been honed to the last detail by the leftists, and those of us who lived in socialist Yugoslavia experienced it. It is an exciting feeling, but the price for maintaining such fantasies, which will not last forever, will be high.
