    Also that newspaper is called “The Fatherland”.

    It’s a pretty good hint of where they stand in the whole Left-Right political spectrum.

      Which is super weird in it self. I mean, do South African white people call their colonist nation their “Fatherland”?

        FYI- South Africa is kind of unique in that it was settled by a ruling class as opposed to the normal dregs like most other places.

        “mother country” or “motherland” is pretty common for descendants of European colonists/emigrees. I know Germans call it “fatherland” instead, probably the Dutch too
