https://sh.itjust.works/c/fucktheccp hasn't been banned yet, so I guess yes.
Also lemmygrad is blocked here. As a person born in eastern block, fuck communism and tankies.
just came over here after poking around some of the other instances and the quality increase from not having tankies brigading shit is truly amazing
Yeah old eastern block ex-pat here too. Lived through two communist regimes (Ukraine via the USSR and Poland). Don't want to go for a third.
I am staunchly Socialist though.
Never actually met an immigrant who actually stays here in Eastern Europe but yeah communist shouldn't come back. But I don't want capitalism either, this shits wack for our people and workers. Guess there isn't a place to create new economic structures that could surpass both of them.
What do you think of this video on Eastern Europe from my favourite Hungarian YouTuber?
We'll it's all true but there are some smaller differences, I live in ex Yugoslav country which was in eastern block but more liberal than Soviet puppet states.
Most people aren't racist or xenophobic (except Balkan rule: hate thy neighbor). We are just an extremely introverted and paranoid society, that's why many empires fell around our people. We never had any colonies because our people were used as labour for other empires, so we never developed a superiority complex to other races.
We're just anarchy that's preserved through community.
I like that.
That's interesting. Thank you for sharing your perspective. As a paranoid and anxious person I can empathize with a whole society with this issues.
