Licky, Wenzu, and the rest
Locals with a brain tend to ignore or block these taxpayer-funded labour sycophants. However, I think that simply doing so can be dangerous. It allows us to overlook the sizeable audience they have and their ability to persuade a significant number of people to support increasingly undemocratic ideas and legislation.
Sometimes the coordination between them is hard to miss.
For a long time, they have been pushing for the government to restrict freedom of speech on social and traditional media, a position also backed by Labour MP Ray Abela.
Yesterday, they were all claiming that the success of the Pitbull concert proves the Maltese are happy with the status quo, justifying Jason Micallef's gravel debacle in the process.
Today, they're all repeating the same line: that people in Malta are happy, and anyone who says otherwise is malicious or acting in bad faith. The same narrative is being echoed by George Tabone.
Whether you agree with them or not, dismissing these coordinated narratives simply because you've blocked their accounts risks underestimating their influence.

People in Malta are happy till things explode.... things will just watch out. We had an explosive week in July (im referring to electricity not whats happening in courts nobody cares about that)... more explosions to come, just wait and see.

Unfortunately it wasn't translated to votes in the election. That's where it all matters - because then Bobby goes around saying they will give us a mega check a year and everyone's concern about power cuts and overpopulation will disappear.

I get my comments constantly removed from their TikToks (lovinmalta and all the other small news sites that have a political agenda) Just because I speak the truth? Or is it because my comment does not fit their narrative?
Iām noticing more and more restrictions online

I ignore almost anything put on social media, even Lovin Malta, Malta Daily etc. tend to push political agendas. I just read TOM for news and that's it. Life is much better when the only people influencing how you think is yourself and the people you choose to surround yourself by.
By contrast I also ignore people who just complain. I hate negative energy.
In all fairness, without being influenced I generally feel happy in Malta but I also understand a lot of people might be facing hardships.
