Kind of a rant since I’m trying to get people’s attention here on what’s going on in my country atm. So prepare for a long one lol.

In case you all aren’t informed since I don’t see It’s being talked a lot unfortunately, a front part of a communist era train station that was reconstructed collapsed killing 15 people last November. The ruling neoliberal government (Serbian “Progressive” Party) that had a role in overseeing the project tried to lie and say that It had nothing to do with It even though it did. Making a lot of people angry. Mind you said party I mentioned is basically a slightly more liberal offshoot of the much older far-right ultra nationalist “Serbian Radical Party” that’s been around since the 90s.

This led to a lot of universities and colleges to shut down and are basically now run by self organized students since last December. They basically use large auditorium’s to vote on stuff, old school Soviet style. Though very recently a lot of unions, including workplaces in which some of my family members work, have proclaimed a general strike. And school’s plan to shut down too (originally winter break is supposed to end on January 20th).

Unfortunately a lot of violence is happening. From undercover government goons breaking into people’s home and threatening them to students getting run over by government goons as well and beaten by cops. Before you go “Oh this is a western coop!”, It is not. The students themselves proclaimed to not have an ideology and are not aligned with any political party (for better or worse I know, kinda annoying).

So yeah I hope something like this, that’s about It.

Also I know It’s fedipedia but It kinda explained what’s happening here in short so here.
