What do you think of the Borgachev?

They give me red scare "Everyone under communism wears grey and has no individuality" propaganda. "Why do you resist us? We only wish to increase your quality of life"

Although personally, they remind me of what it's like working under capitalism.

I once worked as a bank teller. At my first performance review, the branch manager told me in various ways that my work was “adequate.” I could tell she thought this was going to prompt me to respond through the magic of reverse psychology. She was visibly disappointed when my response was deadpan acceptance of her evaluation with no hint of wanting to make self-improvements.
