Your concern is appreciated, but you must realize Serbia already had a color revolution, in fact the first in the world which could be classified as such. Ever since then, the government supported by the US/EU has not done shit to even improve peoples lives whatsoever, privatizing many industries which is regarded as a universally bad move. This current government is only in place because it is thought that that last government at least had somewhat of a spine and didn’t want to give up Kosovo, whereas this one has given the west everything and more than it wanted. I mean fuck me, we don’t even have 5G because there was an agreement signed that strictly prohibited us from buying the infrastructure from China! Not only that, but these same students and people collectively rose up when the filthy capitalist war criminals in Rio Tinto wanted to mine lithium, all with full fledged support from the US and EU, but particularly the EU because they have a vested interest in being energy independent from China. Also, considering the EU and collective west response to the Georgian color revolution when compared to this, are you really convinced there isn’t a massive difference? Especially given the fact you are probably hearing about this for the first time ever. Could probably write more, but it’s a little late here, but here’s my comment from some time ago
Don’t know where you live, but people in Serbia aren’t protesting only because of this singular canopy, but because of a series of corruption scandals and overall malpractice that spans as far back as the collapse of Yugoslavia. From aflatoxin levels in the milk being 10x than what is allowed in most countries to the weapons being sold to literal fucking ISIS, this situation is simply the straw that broke the camels back. If I were to start listing all the affairs committed by the government, it would literally take me a year to finish. And don’t even get me started on Vucic straight-up being a EU/US vassal, installed as a puppet to completely erase Serbian influence and institutions from Kosovo, leaving Serbs still living there to the mercy of the ethno-nationalist Kosovo “government”.
How is it possible that all of these fuckwads are revealing their cards all at the exact same time right before trump gets inaugurated lmao. Like seriously, this fuck wins and all the companies and generally people who had merely the veneer of liberalism, just straight up publicly switch to fascism the moment their pink capitalism falls out of favor. Truly incredible
Here’s my last post about the protest in Serbia since the thread got locked
@Eldungeon2@hexbear.net They were coopted in years past by the neolib opposition, but this one is the initiative of the students, so the likelihood of it happening is pretty slim (at least not by the opposition). Also, as far as I’m aware, occupy was just camping on wall street, not literally obstructing government institutions from working like it’s happening here.
@starkillerfish@hexbear.net I’ll probably do a write-up when I get my bearings in order. As for the universities, I don’t think it makes a difference as long as there exists a mechanism by which students can legally organize and close it down in protest.
What I forgot to mention is that the protest was attended by some 100k people, one of the largest in Serbia ever. Oh, and here’s eurofucks getting what they deserve
Not one EU flag in sight, just people enjoying the moment
Not that I’ve caught your attention, I want to make a mini write-up about the situation in Serbia. There have been pretty massive protests ever since a train station canopy in Novi Sad fell and killed 15 people, due to inexcusable government negligence. When the news first came up, they said that it happened because they forgot to renovate it, despite the fact that videos came up of them literally fencing off the area and working on it lmao. People immediately started protesting against the government and asked for transparency regarding the technical documentation of the renovation, which Vucic didn’t want to provide. The students started honoring the victims by blockading streets for 15 minutes (for 15 victims) each day on 11:52 AM exactly (the time the tragedy happened). Vucic thought he was hot shit and did his classic move of getting his masked thugs to beat up and disperse the protesters. This, in a surprising twist, ended up backfiring spectacularly and instead emboldening the students in their message, where now they held plenums and in agreement with their professors ended up blockading their respective universities. The majority of them are now blockaded, and almost every famous Serbian singer, dancer, athlete, writer and actor has ended up voicing their uncritical support for the protests and blockades.
And if you thought this was a color revolution in any way, here’s our good friend amerikkkan ambassador Christopher Hill seen in a bus that Vucic rode today to showcase him building more roads, this time the work of a usasian company named Bechtel.
On the other hand, this is a pretty interesting move from the students with this letter, but since I figure this wouldn’t work in colleges, with Macron appointing his 15th prime minister (along with racist rants) and Magdenburg being pretty valid reasons for them to do this rn. Like maybe I’m crazy, but I figure sending this letter to Hasan would be a pretty effective way of getting their plight out there, since traditional media from anywhere isn’t covering this shit at all.
Or TL:DR - watch Yugopniks stream (skipped to the part where he talks about it, along with the political background). Also tell me if I should do an actual in detail write up about the political situation, because even the shit Yugo says in the stream doesn’t cover even half of it.
