      I was once watching a video of a momma dog disciplining her puppies. Everything was fine but then I came across a comment that said some shit like “Props to mom! If only the same could happen with the lawless thugs who keep complaining about being killed by cops!”

    The only people who believe homogenous societies are good are the people racist enough to think everyone in certain countries are the same ethnicity or culture because they’re all considered the same race in the US

    I have a internet friend in Serbia I talk politics with on-and-off and the local political landscape sounds bizarre. Apparently the mayor of Belgrade holds a serious vendetta against riverboat businesses???

      Not riverboat businesses, rather we have plenty of restaurants and clubs on rafts on the Danube river in belgrade.

      But that’s the least of our worries rn, we had elections last week and the current president and government organized massive theft of the elections. There have been massive protests for a week since. They drove people from Bosnia to vote in our elections, hell the Bosnian minister of security voted in the Belgrade mayoral elections and proudly posted about it on twitter. Apparently he’s a resdient of Belgrade lol. Last night they sent a thousand cops at us to beat us up and break up the protest. Today student orgs are blocking infrastructure in Belgrade, and from 6pm we’re going to the parliament building again to block it off.

      Our president claimed that there were barely a thousand people gathered when he spoke through state media:

      For the uninitiated our current president is Aleksandar Vucic, also known as Milosevic’s minister of propaganda.

        Ah! I misunderstood what my friend meant by “rafts”. So these are more like fixed structures?

        He’d alluded to having problems with Bosnians in the past, but didn’t mention the minister voting. Hell of a situation - Hoping things go well with the demonstrations.

    White Americans think homogenous = everyone looks the same. But then they get surprised when Europeans go Hitler mode on another blonde, blue eyed person because he made eye contact while eating a strudel
