Propaganda in the Czech Republic regarding the Ukraine conflicts runs these narratives…
Ivan Gabal (sociologist, analyst) – “If Ukraine relents and accepts capitulation, we will have barbarians at the gates. And we aren’t in doubt that they will try to open the gates.”
You know what, at home we treat Ukraine as barbarians. Provincial bumpkins that haven’t built shit. Russia on the other hand builds nuclear reactors and flies into space. Ukraine could have been part of this, they had Yuzhmash and Antonov plants from the Soviet era. But this wasn’t good enough for the Ukrainian nationalists. The latter would rather have their quiet khutor (a hamlet) instead of being part of the dynamic Russian World. It would have been good for Russia, Ukraine, and the whole of humanity but instead we have war.
I absolutely reject any notions that Russia will continue attacking NATO countries after they are done with Ukraine. I don’t think Russia has the strength and would not have the strength to invade NATO for decades if ever.
There is another popular talking head that Czech media likes to feature. Vlastislav Bříza comments international affairs and here in this video he discusses “Ukrainian porcupine”. He says that we must prevent a scenario in which Ukraine becomes defeated and neutralized. This would mean a much greater migration into Czechia from Ukraine but also the Ukrs might begin to feel Zrada and join the Russians, forming a one huge horde in the East.😆👌 Ukraine should become a porcupine that would be a deterrent to Russia.
Otakar Foltýn says that Russia would suck in the resources and manpower of Ukraine and would regain its former strength if we allow it to reach the Slovak border.😆👌
Motherfucking vybukhy (explosions) 💥happen every night. Russia doesn’t stop. Propagandists have been trying to say that Russia is begging Iran and North Korea for supplies. Somehow this is all turning out to be untrue.
So, Westoids wanna Balkanize Russia and even China to create a set of weak and easily manipulable states with limited sovereignty, whose economy is completely controlled by Western corporations. Siberian Africa or Yellow Africa in the East. Nothing against Africa, Africa also needs to show Westoids the finger.
Meanwhile, the same people call for the European Union to integrate more. Because apparently, if we are together then we will be more respected, and have more influence. Therefore, what is good for me, ain’t good for thee. But Russia is also much more ethnically homogeneous than the EU. 70-80% of Russian population are Russians or ethnically indefinite. This makes Russia a national state of the Russians and carving it out into little Ukraines and Kazakhstans would be a problematic task.
But some can still dream, they can make up fake flags, fake identities, fake languages, they can create little Ukraines and Kyrgyzstans out of Russia, they can start writing Russian in the Latin script. If you think I am joking, I am not, I am only quoting what I have read and heard online over the years. But big Russia builds nuclear reactors and flys into space, what good for the advancement of humanity ever came from independent Ukraine or Kazakhstan? The Westoids wanna Balkanize their competitors to remain the only civilization that pulls technological and economic progress and thus indispensable and maintaining its hegemony. But competition is better isn’t it?
One of the biggest copes of Ukrs is claims of antiquity over Russia.
Kiev is far older than was said during USSR. (and it should be reconsidered and the right dates should be officially made public) I know about it that you my beloved city was alive for much longer.
You didn’t know it.
In 1982, the Soviet government the Soviet government celebrated pompously the 1500 years of Kiev. But actually the archeologists, the group of which was headed by Rybakov, Russian colleague of our Boris Paton and ideologue of the Soviet version of Kievan Rus knew that Kiev is much older.
But admitting that would mean to admit that…
Kiev is much older than Moscow
Delineate Ukrainian history from the Russian.
Nobody disputes that Kiev is much older than Moscow. That is self evident. Kiev might in fact exist since the Iron Age or perhaps earlier. But whenever these claims of antiquity are made by Ukrainians they always show churches built in Baroque style for some reason. These cathedrals and monasteries were all built during the Russian Empire.
“As soon as I met him, I knew I wasn’t into him. But I was already there and needed my coffee,” Slack said. “Plus, I like to be optimistic: Maybe he would do or say something sweet and charming and my mind could change.”
Katheryne Slack, Slack…
The discourse around “foodie calls” — which primarily centers on a man buying dinner for a woman who isn’t planning on a second date — tends to be steeped in sexism and ignores same-sex couples, critics point out. But in reality, the trend transcends gender.
This article is absolute cancer. Basic premise is that times are tough, find a sucker who will pay for your dinner.
Geomaxxing is a term in the manosphere that says “going to another country in search of a mate because in your home country it is difficult to find one”…
While Putin is killing Slavic population at war, the Chinese are quietly fucking the Far East.Hole is dirty, smelly, but … (I can’t translate the rest)
Ukrs are making fun of Chinese men marrying Russian women in the Far East. There are Asian passport bros in Ukraine too that snatch Ukrainian women though. In China there is a deficit of girls, and in Russia there is a deficit of men. So why is it wrong for Chinese men to Geomaxx and create a family in Russia?
I have recently downloaded Tinder and was getting barely any likes at my place. I then went traveling to Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, and my count jumped from measly 7 to 60 in 10 days. Granted some of them might be fakes, some of them might be attention whores and some might not reply to my messages but I could likely get a date from the bunch or something more had I more time to pursue them.
Bottom line, if you wanna maximize your chances, pack your bags and try luck in the World somewhere.
Some left-wing politicians here in Czechia are promoting euthanasia before elections. It seems nice, some people are really suffering but do you want to be the one responsible for their deaths? How would you legally treat this? The geezer above took his own life with his own death machine. This is almost poetic fuck up if you ask me.
I was always against applying modernist ideas to the Church. We live in a disenchanted world. Reformation, Copernicus and Darwin dealt a blow to the authority of the Church. Church is now in competition with modernist and often anti-clerical ideas. I don’t understand why embrace the discourse of movements that never had much love for the Church. Many spiritual seekers are looking for tradition in Church? They are looking for something arcane and ancient. It does not do the Church any good to accept modernist ideas like vernacularization (mass in living instead of liturgical languages), female clergy, or tolerance of sexual minorities.
In many Western countries, evangelical churches who persevere in a historical teaching on issues such as family, marriage, the protection of the unborn, and the rights of freedom of conscience, speech and religion; do not have a good press.
In contrast, Protestant denominations that defend ‘inclusion and plurality’ with LGBT priests and the blessing of same-sex unions are presented as a faith that has understood the social reality well.
Contemporary mainstream ideology in the West is borderline hostile to traditional Christian values.
Among many mainline Protestant circles, it is argued that Christianity needs to attract people with an open-minded approach to the Bible that reinterprets certain texts accommodating them to the trends and thinking of the social majority. In the past, the Bible and the ‘sola fide and sola scriptura’ may have said one thing about human identity, but today the say another.
The reality, nevertheless, is that the church attendance and membership in theologically liberal churches that support the LGBT agenda is not growing, quite the opposite.
Tempering with scripture is basically diluting your faith. Because your creed is completely dependent on the teachings passed on to you by your forefathers.
The Church of Sweden accepts homosexual marriage since 2009, and appointed the first openly lesbian bishop in Stockholm that same year. In the last months, they have moved towards pro-transgender positions.
These are the figures of membership of the Church of Scotland, in a country of 5.5 million people.
2000: 607,000 members
2006: 504,000
2013: 398,000
2017: 336,000
2018: 325,000

Already in 2005, the UCC declared itself in favour of same-sex marriage. They celebrate gay marriages and they are expected to vote a ban on any therapy or pastoral accompaniment that implies the modification of a person’s attraction to the same sex.
Is this denomination filling the pews? Not really, according to their statistics.
1995: 6,145 churches, 1,472,000 members
2005: 5,633 churches, 1,230,000 members
2015: 5,032 churches, 915,000 members
2019: 4,852 churches, 802,000 members

Has the theologically liberal approach of the Episcopal Church helped increase its membership? No. In fact, the denomination has lost one third of its members in only 20 years.
2000: 2,329,000 members
2005: 2,205,000
2015: 1,779,000
2019: 1,638,000

Thousands of conservative Lutherans left the Church to join other congregations. Others stayed with a critical approach. Nonethless, ELCA’s membership has diminished. Ten years after the decision on LGBT matters and a continuous radicalisation of positions, the ELCA has lost one third of its members.
1988: 5,288,000 members
2000: 5,126,000
2007: 4,709,000
2011: 4,059,000
2019: 3,265,000

It is the largest Presbyterian church in the US, born in 1983 with the merging of two large denominations. In 2012, it approved the ordination of homosexual priests and in 2014 the PCUSA redefined marriage as a union of “two people” (instead of “a man and a woman”).
One decade later, they have lost one third of their members.
1984: 3,100,000 members
2000: 2,525,000 members
2005: 2,316,000 members and 10,959 congregations
2010: 2,016,000 members and 10,560 congregations
2016: 1,483,000 members and 9,451 congregations
2020: 1,245,000 members and 8,925 congregations

It is obvious that may [many] causes could be included in the analysis of the complex evolution of dying churches, but statistical evidence shows that embracing dominant ideologies in society such as the LGBT agenda is certainly not filling the churches with new believers.
