So yeah, borgerlig means “bourgeois” but it also means “right-wing” or more broadly just “not socialist”. And so I’ve had to hear right-wing dipshits say this election stuff like

  • Vote bourgeois! (this message paid for by Some Guy With a German Last Name Joint Stock Company)
  • Do you want a bourgeois victory in this election? Then you better vote for these parties!
  • I could never in my life vote for the Reds, I’ll be voting bourgeois this election. Here’s to a bourgeois victory!
  • Et cetera

And this is just seen as completely normal. It boggles the mind how this terminology practically rubs your face in how right-wing politics only benefit the ruling class, and yet people still end up supporting it somehow?!

    I think we more-or-less agree, they (for example) want the rich to pay their “fair share” but don’t want to dismantle them as a class.
