  • The issue you have with soviet nostalgia in eastern europe is that it appeals to the 40+ who are culturally backwards on social issues. In order to keep their 40+ audiences the communists lean into some of that, in part because a good chunk of their groups are filled with older people with that nostalgia.

    The problem with this is that the young are significantly less culturally and socially backwards. Many younger people end up being attracted to pro-europe groups and liberal social/cultural policy because of this.

    You can not appeal to both audiences simultaneously. Either you appeal to the old with their socially backwards views and nostalgia, or you appeal to the young with their socially progressive views and lose the old. The problem is that the old won’t just go on to stop existing, they will organise among themselves as communists and continue to cause an association between socially backwards views and communism. This in turn will continue to make attracting younger people hard.

    we should focus our agitprop and work towards the youth of our countries instead of a group of people who ultimately will go “extinct” soon.

    I personally think the old probably need to go extinct first before the pendulum will swing hard towards attracting the young. Their very existence is a barrier because you can’t stop them continuing to do the work they do that currently keeps communists in that space of only appealing to older people in these countries.







  • It’s not hurt, pretty sure. I picked it up when I boxed it before I looked up what to do and it got a bit screechy about that but it’s otherwise fine other than when it was pissed off at me.

    I know it’s not going anywhere in the courtyard unless it learns to fly off as the walls are too high, so I’ll be able to check on it tomorrow. Either it’s still there and obviously deteriorating in condition because no parents feeding it, or it’ll be gone. Very slim chance of neighbour cat showing up but I’ve never seen anyone else’s cats come in that courtyard because we have dogs so I think it’s ok.








  • Just to clarify, I didn’t kidnap this randomly from outside. It found me. It came in through the open front door and was banging on my living room door, it’s been 30C for the last few days so we have everything open.

    EDIT: Alright after consulting the search engines it seems like an uninjured Fledgling to me. Gonna leave it in the courtyard which is pretty safe (besides neighbour cat possibility) and see how it is tomorrow. Entire internet advice seems to say these birds are still being fed by their parents and are learning to fly.

    I put some seed and water down for it though I have no idea if it can use them.

    If it looks like its not got anyone feeding it tomorrow then I think it’ll be intervention time but for now I’ll do what the internet says and “leave fledglings alone”.



  • Trump causes it.

    The libs will go back to brunch when he’s gone. They are more effective at making everyone switch off but still carrying out the evil, sometimes in far greater quantity.

    Everyone here thought Yanis Varoufakis was mad for being incredibly Doomer when Biden won the election against Trump but he was totally right in the end, revolutionary energy that built up and found outlets through BLM and other things all fizzled completely. The same will happen when Trump goes again.

    The left must take advantage of every moment currently happening to recruit and radicalise while people are in this state of mind.
