Main narratives:

  • Intensified attacks on the Russian language in Estonia and critiques of European foreign policy efficiency expose deep political and linguistic divides.
  • Accusations of biased media coverage in Estonia and intrusive government surveillance efforts raise concerns about transparency and privacy.
  • Claims of an impending totalitarian government in Estonia and the detrimental impact of liberal policies on the economy and national sovereignty.
  • Exaggerated statements about the increasing LGBT population in the USA reflect broader societal anxieties over cultural changes.

There was a post about the growing number of LGBT people in the USA, as well as also many posts claiming that Estonia was heading toward a totalitarian government with mass surveillance, which was compared to George Orwell’s “1984”.
