Viral X post urges daily sharing of unverified video targeting PSOE voters
A message on X calls for spreading a video to make socialist voters 'open their eyes,' but provides no content details or data.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A message on X demands the daily dissemination of a video to help Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) voters "open their eyes." The tweet does not identify the video nor provide any data to support its accusation.
The publication is brief and leaves no doubt about its intention: a video, without further description, must be posted every day so that those who vote for the PSOE "open their eyes once and for all." The message does not say what the video shows, who recorded it, or when. It also fails to offer a single figure to back up the accusation launched against an entire electorate. It is a slogan, not an argument.
## A message with no verifiable content
The tweet links a video file and adds an exhortation to repeat it daily. There is no context, source, or date. Readers cannot verify what is seen in the images or if they relate to what the message insinuates. The label of "brutal" accompanying the subject is not supported by any element within the message itself.
That void is key. Content requested to be spread on loop, without explanation, functions as a slogan: it does not seek to inform, but to repeat. Repetition does the rest.
## Insult as argument
The message calls socialist voters "sheep." This is a disqualification directed at a group based on ideology, not a critique of specific policies. It cites no measure, budget, or government decision. It only attributes a lack of judgment to millions of people and asks for persistence until they react.
That tone has a cost. When messages replace data, economic debate becomes noise. And noise prevents anyone from being held accountable.
## Why it matters in economics
Economics is discussed with figures: employment, inflation, debt, wages. A message that renounces all of them and appeals to repetition contributes nothing to that discussion. It serves to mobilize, not to explain. It is advisable to treat this type of publication for what it is: unverified propaganda, not information.
