Massive protests against Erdogan happening right now because of the arrest of the Istanbul mayor. Our media is pushing it relentlessly which always has me wary.

    God forbid you point out either of those facts to them though Kirby, otherwise the state mandated neural pathway between “communism -> bad” will fire like it’s the 4th of July down in Alabama.

    Though friend, Im curious actually how would the average serbian react to the idea of communism again since the Yugoslavia tragedy in this current climate? I know in turkey it will be dismissed quite quickly mainly because of the efforts the state made by funding right wing groups since the 70s ( Operation Gladio) and instead support restarting the decadence, but I’m not familiar with Serbias situation

      That depends, a lot of older people are Yugonostalgic, but a lot of the younger ones are so braindead and deep into fascism, religious fanaticism or libs that there is no point. There’s normal people but most of them are older.
