Czech presidents tend to be big friends with Dalailama. For some reason they prefer a Tibetan feudal lord to modern China under CCP. Anticommunism of Petr Pavel is also very hypocritical. Petr Pavel was a member of the Communist Party until December 1989. Today’s China is arguably more capitalist than Czechia. Of course they don’t have a liberal democratic government under the control of Western powers like we do. 😆👌
Petr Pavel has also called Donald Trump a “disgusting being”. Our government also has bad relations with our nearest neighbor Slovakia. They don’t like the government of Robert Fico. Our politics is not pragmatic, instead it is based on values of globalism, Russophobia, and Sinophobia and Western supremacism.
Ukrs love talking about somebody else’s history as long as it isn’t Russian.
The Russians conquered this land and established cities. They also settled the ancestors of today’s Ukrainians there. The Russian Empire was instrumental in the territorial creation of Ukraine. And comrade Lenin gave Odessa to Ukraine. The Russian Empire and Lenin are both reviled by Ukrainian Nazis.
Is this Duc Richelieu covered?
Duc Richelieu the governor of Odessa dressed in vyshyvanka is maximum cringe.
Conservachicks on Evie Magazine have a new article about a phenomenon of men not approaching women anymore…
Gentlemen, MGTOW has won… Here are some quotes from the article, what the unpaid access allowed me to copy:
The focus lay in insignificant perceived slights like manspreading, mansplaining, earnings gaps conflated as wage gaps, pathologizing normal expressions of masculinity as toxic, and all other sorts of paranoid neuroses turning into ideological stances. They often involved an imagined moral violation, attributing malice where it didn’t exist, and reading between the lines of ordinary human interactions with seven layers of feminist psychological warfare.
Psychological war, and the demonization of masculinity by feminists has its origins in the state being concerned with population growth. This whole schtick has one purpose, to reduce mating between humans. Feminists always found wealthy sponsors. This shit wasn’t hyped by blue haired troglodytes on Tumbler but by mainstream media.
The collective moral guilt they attributed to all men for the most minor or nonexistent infractions, erasing their humanity while expecting allyship, eventually wore them thin. Then came the accompanying social reckoning of Me Too, which snowballed out of the Hollywood casting couch and into your local reality. Title IX penalized accused male students through kangaroo courts that denied them a fair trial and jeopardized their entire future based on hearsay. A movement that began calling out the quiet sexual abuse that was occurring to countless men and women in the entertainment industry evolved into “believe all women” absolutism.
Consent theory was actually made into law in many countries. Like here in Czechia. We have new laws concerning rape. Some places even have laws against cat calling. I have seen “starring is harassment” campaign in public transport in Prague and in London.
Post-2017, the broader culture’s attitude towards sex turned into what can only be described as a moral panic. Our standards for due process and burden of proof were slipping. The pressure to believe women was so palpable we were thrust into a new culture of presumed guilt. Consent paranoia convinced countless people that unless women agreed to have sex in a formal legal document, it wasn’t sufficient “enthusiastic consent.” Op-eds consisting of nothing but embarrassing awkward date encounters were reframed as “sexual misconduct.”
Male sexuality has been essentially criminalized.
Men everywhere faced cultural and institutional whiplash. Just knowing how little it took to upend their lives, no matter how unlikely, was enough to stir up considerable fear in a not insignificant percentage of the male population. These co-existing forces ushered in a counter-movement: men who didn’t want to grovel at women’s feet, flog themselves, or self-flagellate about how bad men are for a crumb of their attention began to see the need for self-protection.
As a result, Zoomers have been characterized as the sexless, friendless, teetotaler generation. They’re not drinking, going to parties, having sex, or partnering up, they’re just… scrolling. It’s to the point where 45% of 18 to 45-year old men have never approached a woman in person. This is reflected in the discourse through popular online anecdotes observing the comparative social aloofness of modern men. Women have started to vocally lament the lack of approaches, and research bears this out too. 74% of women under the age of 25 and 77% of women aged 18-30 express a strong desire to be approached more often.
You know, a lot of these Zoomers had helicopter parenting that did not allow them to go to parties or to have friends. You see, I am an older millennial and I stopped approaching at the age of 20 or so because I realized that approaching leads nowhere if the woman is not interested. I only take initiative when the woman shows genuine interest because that is almost guaranteed to lead to sex. And in my case it always leads to sex. You think the Chads that women want cold approach? Hell no! They get mating signals all the time and act upon those when they are interested.
The problem is these good women had zero impact on policy. Like a simple unproven rape accusation is something that can destroy a man’s career, especially if it escapes into the media. Remember Jeremy Soule? I hope the latter comes back. Where were all these good women that are not like it? Where are their organizations? Which politicians represent them? Why do most women vote for forces that directly support misandry?
Checking out means cashing in. And you are not missing out on anything by not taking women out to overpriced restaurants down town. The same women will call you cheap if you don’t invite them to a restaurant but if you invite them to restaurant they will use you for food and you will get no action.
Cat call is literally rape and starring is harassment. 😆👌
Look it is not even the fear of rejection. Once upon a time only thing that could happen to you is she would say no, or she would tell you she had a boyfriend. Sometimes no meant she is playing hard to get, and if you persisted she would say yes. Those days are gone. Forever! We have social media, dating apps now. Instead of she saying no, your ass could be lampooned on Instagram and the whole neighborhood would see what creep you are. Your grandma wouldn’t have chosen your grandpa if she had Tinder. Besides, today’s relationships suck ass. Everybody wants to do their thing. There aren’t any benefits to being married, especially as a man. And if the end goal is long term and marriage why even bother? Some blokes just want the punani sure but the rest? Punani gets boring by the way.
“Sergei Tikhanovky could have been replaced. Whom did Lukashenko really release? And what did happen with the real opposition politician?” -the above was shared by Russian social media channels but seems like a fake story. I could not find it on DW.
This has been resting in my drafts for a while. Sergei Tikhanovsky, the husband of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya was let out of jail, and made some flaming interviews. Speculations have started that a fake Sergei was released by Lukashenko. He has become a bit of a meme and people are laughing at his antics.
Facebook was serving these cringe articles so I made a note. 😆👌 These spinsters find themselves toy boys in Africa, nothing new. You see these hags with lads in Africa, you see white geezers in Asia with local slags. This modern reality is actually grotesque if you think about it.
“We want Ukraine to survive as an independent sovereign state even if the price will be the temporary occupation of its territory as it is today. We will not recognize these territories as Russian.”
This particular quote irked Ukrainian internet warriors. Ukraine is getting cooked at Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka. The Ukrainian defense line is breaking. I thought Russia would take these places last year but Russian strategy is taking things slow, and in the meantime dealing maximum damage to the Ukrainian military. Demilitarization the hard way.
I am not sure Russia wants the kid of sovereignty for Ukraine that Petr Pavel envisages. Ukraine has been promoting Naziism, Russophobia and persecuted the Orthodox Church. I am not sure how they wanna deal with that.
There’s surviving, and then there’s thriving in a literal sewer. A colony of guppies—the same tiny tropical fish people keep in desktop aquariums—has managed to do both for more than 40 years in the waste-choked canals of a Kyiv treatment plant.
Guppies are a very hardy fish, I heard they live in rivers of Southern Europe where the winters are mild and the water doesn’t freeze.
Unfortunately, the guppies’ reign is under threat. In recent years, their numbers have declined due to an invasive predator known as the rotan-head (Perccottus glenii), a fish that wandered in and started eating them. Even in the sewers, nothing gold can stay.
This second fish is also an invasive species from Eastern Asia. Species tend to be introduced to places by natural means, some species tend to migrate around the World quite naturally but often this introduction is the work of humans.
I am generally against keeping pets. Most pets are wild animals in captivity. Unless you are able to imitate their natural habitat, don’t even buy it. Keeping a solitary hamster in a cage with a running wheel is modern age dystopia. Reminds me of people in the cities with sedentary job that get some movement in an overpriced gym.
I am even against keeping dogs in cities. Dog is a proper domesticated animal that has lived with humans for millennia but it needs space to run and marks its territory with urine. If you have a house with a garden and an adjacent field where the animal can run around and be happy, don’t do it. I have a dog but I live in a rural area.
So a week is remaining to Trump’s secondary tariffs on countries that buy Russian energy resources. This is supposed to put pressure on Russia to stop its advance in Ukraine. But Russian supplies of oil and gas over land are ensuring China’s energy security.
Indians might cave in to Trump’s threats. The question is if this will force Russia to negotiate a peace treaty to the detriment of their goals or they could continue on and bear the expense of the war?
