  • @Mr_Buscemi is right. It’s about Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group and Putin’s ex-best friend getting removed out.
    Ever since the armed rebellion that he attempted the Russian state media apparatus and all of the millbloggers as a whole have been ordered to remove Prigozhin completely, to erase him from the public view.

    And that is similar to soviet tactics from Stalin’s time, where similarly erasures have been performed.
    The most well known ones was the picture in which Stalin appeared next to Yezhov, Yezhov former chief of NKVD eventually fell from Stalin’s grace, long story short he got a sham trial and later executed.

    Kbin just sounds cooler, dude.
    I mean, lemmy - that’s just lame with extra steps. Eww. Yuck. Yucky. Not cool. Actual cringe, tbh. 🤢
    Kbin. That’s like cool-beans, dude. Actually rad. And based. 😎
    Who doesn’t want to be cool? I tell you, nerds, that’s who. Do you want to be a nerd? Didn’t think so.
    Checkmate. Try proving me wrong (pro-tip: you can’t)








  • Yugoslavia

    Ohhh, if only lmao. Yugos had it quite decent… well, for a while at least, then unchecked nationalism made everything go to shit.
    But no, we were Yugoslavia’s northern neighbor - RSR = Socialist Republic of Romania, we had it so bad that we were escaping to Yugoslavia and the serbs were smuggling all sort of things into our country and sell it on the black market.

    And it went so well for those sellers that the entire country knew about the black markets close to the Danube. You could get jeans, brand t-shirts, Kent cigarettes, sweets, electronic watches from Albania, radios, chewing gum that looked like cigarettes and vegeta lol

    MLs were immediately replaced by rent-seeking capitalist oligarchs who picked off the bones of yall’s societies

    Yes and no. Because of the nature of our “revolution” (when we executed Ceausescu and his multi-doctoral and academic wife who didn’t know how to read properly and who also pronounced CO2 as in cotwo and not “see-oo-two”), we didn’t have any actual justice served. The rest of the system got away with it. The old political class continued to rob us, the torturers from the Securitate weren’t punished. Those with political connections got their hands on property and badly managed/unproductive factories and instead of bringing them up to western or even half-way decent standards they sold them for scrap iron - literally.

    Even worse that the ML governments suppressed all traditional culture to the point that now it’s gone 100% in the opposite direction so that a lot of the people celebrating the traditional culture and straight-up fascists, so if a regular person wants to celebrate traditional culture they’re grouped with those fascists.

    See, for us it didn’t happen like that. That’s why in present-day politics our “social democrats” are basically just (corrupt) conservatives, almost identical to our “national liberals” (these are 1% less corrupt). And it is centrist/center-right neolibs types that are the most progressive one. Shit’s a fuck, lmao.


  • Well, our MLs have been in power for a couple of decades, led to us having a disgusting state-capitalist dictatorship with a poor socialist veil that corrupted our society to such a degree that we haven’t recovered from it not even 3 decades after the regime fell.
    What’s even funnier is that western MLs aren’t fond of our so-called communist dictatorship because it happened to oppose the soviet dictatorship.

    But yeah, to put it mildly, I’m not exactly fond of these kinda people.












  • Translated posts, first:

    Fucking Waiters
    About waiters, due to the fact that the new territories are now subjects of the Russian Federation, the residents of these regions should be treated like their fellow citizens, if you want to inspect a building or a vehicle - call an investigation team, witnesses.
    If you do it yourself without informing the investigating authorities and the prosecutor’s office, you’ll have problems, because they may press charges and you’ll have a lot of questions.
    In fact, you can’t even lift a slate on a private property just for fun.
    They fuck up at every step. They say one thing, then another in 2 minutes, in the phones are correspondence with their relatives on the other side, money is transferred, you ask: “What the fuck?”, they say that the husband pays child support.
    We’re riding in a tiger, a guy sees us and runs into the house. In the phone, all the correspondence was deleted, and my brother is a colonel of the Ukrainian police on the other side.
    An old woman of 70 can bullshit in your face, which, by the way, was today.
    I would introduce the initiative at least so that we can pinch those who do not have a Russian passport.
    There are villages that have not been searched at all, and the people there are fucking nuts. In Dagestan, by the way, the FSB and Interior Ministry special forces (at that time) searched every house in the village, every address, but here for some reason there is no such thing, at least not where we are. It should have been joined when all these territories would have been cleared of this crap.
    Overall, to summarize, our hands are tied and we have to work on the edge of the legal field.

    Second:

    I would like to complement my colleague with an example from my own life:
    A comrade and I were driving along the Dnieper River in the Kherson region (we were delivering humanitarian aid to soldiers). The comrade (an active fighter of a special unit, took part in the Kiev direction) can speak Ukrainian very well.
    And so we asked the local population in Ukrainian: "Yak spravy and where are the Russians here?
    After some security, the local contingent in the color gave us the nearest TAC.
    This is so, in addition to understanding the objective reality.
