the new york times was just publishing this in 1999?? web.archive.org/web/20220511...

What about ground troops? NATO should continue planning for a ground war, as the British and French are urging, both because it might influence Mr. Milosevic to blink sooner rather than later, and because it would inject some realism into the debate about this subject. The U.S. public and Congress need to understand just what would be involved in a ground war. Invading Kosovo means owning Kosovo. A ground war would likely require going all the way to Belgrade and end up making both Albania and Macedonia, from which any invasion of Kosovo would be staged, U.S. protectorates.

Be advised, these are weak, tribalized states that can fall apart in our hands. Albania is non-country country. It is a country where police estimate that more than half the cars on the road were stolen from somewhere else in Europe, where everyone has a gun at home and where just two years ago the whole banking system was based on pyramid schemes and three-card monte. The Wall Street Journal recently quoted an unemployed worker in Tirana as saying, ''It would be better if Milosevic bombed here, and we could all go as refugees to Italy and Germany.''

complaining about lolicons in the same terms that ban *any* fictional depictions of minors' sexuality at all is very odd, then comparing it to nazis when lolisho has a long history of progressiveness and queerness is even worse, reminds me a lot of this

Gorky maintained that homosexuals were not a social minority that needed to be defended in a workers' state--an obvious polemic against Whyte: "In the land where the proletariat governs courageously (muzhestvenno; also translated as manfully) and successfully, homosexuality, with its corrupting effect on the young, is considered a social crime punishable under the law. By contrast, in the 'cultivated land' of the great philosophers, scholars and musicians [Gorky meant Germany--L.F.], it is practiced freely and with impunity. There is already a sarcastic saying: 'Destroy homosexuality and fascism will disappear.'" ("Soviet Policy Towards Male Homosexuality")

Croatia is so fucked. balkaninsight.com/2026/05/07/w...

In 2021, the Institute for Social Research surveyed 67 classes from 59 secondary schools across Croatia. Every second respondent saw Croats as the biggest victims of the wars of the 1990s. Just under a third of students considered the NDH a fascist entity, while more than half of them were undecided or did not want to take a position on the issue.

my favourite example of this is when some neo-nazis did a Holocaust denial documentary and premiered it in Israel to look less like nazis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenov...

Efraim Zuroff, the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem, believes the film's premiere was held in Israel to help deflect accusations of antisemitism.[32]

did the BBC really just print this without clarifying to its audience that the small state in question was established by nazi germany alright then

Conservative commentator Matija Štahan believes that Thompson's time serving as a soldier during the war of independence gives him the right to use "Za dom, spremni" in his work.

"It is an authentic outcry for freedom against aggression," he says.

"Many journalists in the West say it's the Croatian version of 'Heil Hitler' – but it would be best to describe it as the Croatian version of [the Ukrainian national salute] 'Slava Ukraini'.

"Both rose to prominence in the context of World War Two – which was a war for many small nations who wanted their own independent states,"
Mr Štahan says.

"Symbols change their meaning – and just like 'Slava Ukraini', 'Za dom, spremni' also means something different. Today, it's an anti-establishment nationalist slogan. It's against the Croatian politically-correct post-communist political elite. Young people want to shout it as something that's subversive."

it is extremely funny to read Fredy Perlman make fun of the absurdity of the Tito regime

a section of a paragraph that reads: ...speech by Tito, printed in the June 11 issue of Student. In a society in which the vast majority of people consider the “cult of personality” in China the greatest sin on earth, the vast majority of students applauded the following words of the man whose picture has decorated all Yugoslav public institutions, many private houses, and most front pages of daily newspapers for a quarter of a century: “...Thinking about the demonstrations and what preceded them, I have reached the conclusion that the revolt of the young people, of the students, rose spontaneously. However, as the demonstrations developed and when later they were transferred from the street to university auditoriums, a certain infiltration gradually took place on the part of foreign elements who wanted to use this situation for their own purposes. These include various tendencies and elements, from the most reactionary to the most extreme, seemingly radical elements who hold parts of Mao Tse Tung’s theories.” After this attempt to..."

@solidbeato.bsky.social I once posted this in r/anarcho_capitalism and I thought you'd appreciate it I got downvoted and my post was deleted :(

an image of Enver Hoxha overlaying a yellow and black anarcho-capitalist flag with text on it that reads: "In socialist Albania there is no unemployment, no inflation, no taxes or levies on the population."

I appreciate it saving my posts from the fact I can't plan for shit so I end up making 6 posts for what could've been 2 lol

a screenshot of two of my posts being reposted, the first reads: "I'm reminded of the early Stalin period where the justification for queerphobia was a "link" between gayness and Nazism, due to well known gay nazis who got exploited for anti-fascist pr because the social consensus was anti-queer, feels very reminiscent of similar reactionary leftism on lolisho"

the second reads "if you replace gayness with another socially despised expression (including lolisho) this is basically a daily social media post" and has an image of a paragraph that reads: "Gorky maintained that homosexuals were not a social minority that needed to be defended in a workers' state--an obvious polemic against Whyte: "In the land where the proletariat governs courageously (muzhestvenno; also translated as manfully) and successfully, homosexuality, with its corrupting effect on the young, is considered a social crime punishable under the law.

got reminded of this but I always think of this passage from Eumeswil whenever names come up Schach von Wuthenow being real will never not make me chuckle

A passage from Eumeswil that reads: "Right off, I must speciry that while my last name is indeed Venator, my first name is actually Martin and not Manuel: Martin is, as the Christians phrase it, my Christian name. In our country,
the latter is given by the father; he calls the newborn baby by his
name while picking him up and letting him prove his existence by bawling his lungs out.
Manuel, in contrast, has become my nickname during my employment here in the Casbah; it was bestowed on me by the Condor. The Condor, being the current ruler of Eumeswil, is my
employer. For years now, he has been residing in the Casbah, the citadel, which, some two leagues beyond the city, crowns a bare hill that has been known as Pagos since time out of mind"

continuing: "Now just why did the Condor want and thus order me to be nicknamed Manuel? Did he prefer the Iberian flavor, or did he have
something against Martin? That was my initial conjecture; and indeed, there is a dislike of certain first names or at least an irritability that we do not sufficiently take into account. Some parents encumber a child for life with a name that expresses their wishful thinking. A gnome walks in and introduces himself as Caesar. Other parents choose the name of whoever happens to be
at the helm, just as there are now little Condors here among rich and poor. This, too, can be harmful, especially in periods without a sure succession to the throne. People-and this is true for the majority-pay scant notice to
the harmony between the given name and the last. Schach von Wuthenow: that is strenuous-it is almost a phonetic imposition. In contrast: Emilia Galoni, Eugénie Grandet-this combination floats, light and weIl balanced, through acoustic space. Naturally, the German form, Eugenie, should have a Gallic and
not a Germanic stress: Öjénie with a weakened Ö. Similarly, the people here have ground down the name Eumenes: it dweIls in Ömswil.
We are now getting to the crux of the matter: the Condor's extreme musical sensibility, which is offended by "Martin." His reaction is understandable, for the middle consonants sound hard and jagged, they grate on the ear. Mars is the patron saint."

I couldn't respond to the original post but this is funny enough it felt worth posting

a paragraph that reads: "It was our responsibility to secure a visa; since our situation had few precedents, various authorities quoted widely divergent rules. The bureaucrat in one office assured us we had to return to the United States and apply for a visa from there. After trying to communicate the absurdity of this proposal, we left and continued our search at another office which, conveniently, was nearby. Here we were immediately given one-year visas. We wondered if this was the Yugoslav self-managed economy at work. "

I know shitting on a 10 years old BBC article isn't peak praxis but the suggestion that "historical trauma" is a reason for Bulgarian racism feels odd when the actual reason is a wider culture and education centred around demonizing Muslims, these people have not lived under the Ottomans

a paragraph that reads: "There is also historical trauma. Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire for some 500 years until 1878, and nationalist propaganda has programmed Bulgarians to view every representative of the Islamic world as a potential rapist and terrorist, Alexandrov says - a perception exacerbated by the recent bombings next door in Turkey."

won't watch the person that has racist videos on record but it's so incredibly funny to suggest that a country that faced regime change from the US, had a military scuffle with the USSR and left the Warsaw Pact, and had constant scuffles with a bigger neighbour built bunkers for "no reason"
