comrades, the Protracted People’s War against the liberal hive and haven for bigoted chasers that is lemmy.blahaj.zone has succeeded! blahaj has fallen! or at least fallen off.
really tho, i just checked in on their site to see how its been since defederating. that was only 3 days ago btw! it feels like its been a week lol. their daily user count has fallen by over 1/6th since defed. and while this could be attributed to less traffic during the work week, the posting situation there is abysmal. in the past 24 hours, 78% of the posts came from c/196, making it difficult to tell that their instance is a dedicated queer space. and while they have gained ~30 users since defederation, we have gained over 200! its pretty much just 196 at this point.
while its sad to see a queer space fail, i suspect its for the best. i hope all the anti-capitalists there find their way here, as many already have. especially the trans folk there, its genuinely sad that they feel like they have to accept chasers in their space in order to have a community that accepts them. that is the difference between liberal tolerance and socialist liberation— tolerance allows for objectification and marginalization, while liberation demands dignity and equality. may all the blahaj gender diverse who oppose capitalism find their way to c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns!!!!
stuff like this are the best “dunks” the 196 reactionaries can manage: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2042262
this meme is weak and displays their ignorance. you cant have a conversation with ppl like the OP. they will just bombard you with thought-terminating cliches. gulag gulag! Uyghurs! hologramodor! no food! purges! NKVD KGB Stasi! free Tibet so they can have their wholesome slaves again! Taiwan is a legitimate state!
countless hexbears would be willing and even enthusiastic to have a good faith, respectful, nuanced discussion about these topics with them. but they dont want that. they want to roll in their own shit like a pig with massive balls. the good ones will find us, or other socialist spaces. but for such a small instance, there are too many scratched and soon-to-be scratched liberals for us to do any good with federation.
there are so many poles in the prague queer scene, im just glad they got out czechia isnt the best place for lgbt people but it isnt too bad
The most western parts of Poland are those which are most accepting of queer folk. And Warsaw too maybe. But it's very nice to hear that things are going rather well in Prague.
EDIT: Here is your Poland primer from a liberal perspective. I'd say 80% correct.

yeah all the lgbt legislation in czechia that got passed was introduced / fixed up by the communists. funny how that works
at least the succdems are becoming less shit on it. really disappointed in how the communists are getting sidelined... not many years back it was doing pretty ok
We don't even have a succdem left which remotely exists. :agony:
And our communist party is essentialy dormant due to article 256 of the penal codex. :agony-soviet:
Also I edited my previous comment to give you a primer on Poland lmao
yeah they keep trying to pass laws to ban the KSCM over and over but it keeps failing. im worried some day itll just happen.
my home town is still ran by commies though succdems recently got some seats. i know the police and they refuse to work with other police departments, theyre communist too. its all relatively small though. town was heavily affected by the nazi occupation and the soviet army built a lot of the old infrastructure there so there is some love still
It's inconcievable to me that communists got any parlimentary and real power east of Berlin... Wow
Congratulations on living where you do.
yeah the nazis just fucked us up that bad honestly. we were a small partisan center up in the mountains and a lot of people just stayed
Can you tell the Poles to bring back the interurbans in Łódź?
Yeah, I can tell them to also bring back the factories, offices, housing blocs, roads...
Oh wait, you can't bring back something Solidarność stole from you. Oops.
But no, really. Łódź is the town that got hit hard post 1989.
Even in 2015 most of them were still intact :sadness:
Huh, I need to learn more about that city it seems.
Łódź then
Łódź now
Silesia is in pretty rough shape too
