If you couldn't tell already since I'm too vocal about It, I'm from Serbia.

After the fall of Yugoslavia, this place has become a place of deepest reaction. The people here have been doomed to elect between a neoliberal big tent right wing ruling party and a pro-west liberal opposition, most of the higher ranking members being your typical bourgeoisie.

To update you on the student movement that made a lot of noise a while back. It's falling apart really due to It losing It's originally decent focus from having to concrete leadership. It unfocused from student demands to parliamentary elections and begging the EU to intervene. Then again what was I expecting?

I didn't think I'd be jealous of American students protesting for Palestine while these fuckers are talking about "democracy and a fair state". Whatever that means.

I fucking hate It here man.

my country is straight up ass too. the far right propaganda won, even with that 66% of citizens wanting ceausescu but that's because of that great man theory bullshit, my mom believed that mussolini was good because an old man in italy said so. old people want discipline so they want the great man theory to be true. my family is the most far right you can think of. yes, they even hate the lgbtq, they hate people of color, jews even to the point of using the exclusive romanian slur for them

even the news is horrendous, there are TWO channels that are "not soros backed", which are obviously far right bullshit left and right

also i HATE liberals, we also have liberals and i hate them so much

there's no communist party of any kind where i'm from, either you get socdems or larpers that believe that ceausescu would kill all lgbtq people

all i can say is that i feel ya mate, this world is a fucking mess

Africa is the most civilized continent on the planet unironically
