A shy wolfie looking for friends. This is my personal account. I'm a left libertarian who enjoys #furry and #foss stuff. I try to keep it safe for work.
Mi ankaŭ estas Esperantisto.

Euractive днес пишат за увеличаващото се влияние на Източна Европа в управлението на ЕС. За съжаление след десетилетия власт на тримата дебелаци Борисов-Пеевски-Цацаров, България напълно липсва от това управление, но и от Фонда за възстановяване и развитие.
@mapto@bulgariaeu Те не са си отивали. Извиването на ръце е откъм големият бизнес и за разлика от България историята с куфарчетата в Русия е успешна. За това сега големите корпорации ще имат газопровод за държавна сметка и ще ронят крокодилски сълзи за Украйна.
I have personal conspiracy theory, that cops and all kinds of reactionary trolls try to make disposable accounts here to sway the public opinion. I've experienced it several times already.
#Russia channel coordinating the work of trolls called “Digital Army of Russia” has posted a task: on Victory Day, remind the people of Eastern Europe what nightmares the German “Plan Ost” was preparing for them, from which the #USSR saved them: physical extermination, genocide by means of artificially induced famine, deportation of masses of people to Siberia, the Caucasus, etc., extermination of educated elites.
That certainly sounds terrible, but there is only one minor problem: most of these genocidal policies were carried out by the USSR itself. Mass executions (Katyn, liquidation of NKVD prisons, the Great Purge), the Ukrainian Holodomor, the deportation of hundreds of thousands of people to the same Siberia (including, for example, the ‘Polish NKVD operation’), mass murder of the intellectual elites of Poland, Baltics, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia itself. There’s simply no crime against humanity that the Soviets wouldn’t commit in Eastern Europe during the 70 years of their ruling.
Russian trolls shot themselves in the foot simply because they are unaware of all these colonial and genocidal policies of the USSR - this knowledge appeared in Russian education system briefly during 1990-2000’s but then was gradually reverted and NGOs documenting the historic repressions (e.g. “Memorial”) outlawed.
In the context of discussions about the current state of the #Russia economy, a Russian opposition economist Vladimir Milov published a very detailed analysis in April (thanks to @KraftTea):
In short: Putin was able to decree a war economy in parts of the arms industry, but the rest of the economy, as predicted, is rolling downhill as a result of sanctions, export reductions and labour shortages. Russia was able to stay afloat thanks to the huge reserves made before the war but all previous predictions were correct and are coming true, only belatedly. While the Russian war machine will be difficult to defeat on the battlefield because of the disparity of forces, this machine requires a constant flow of cash, and this is being cut as much as possible because most of Russia’s profits have so far just come from the West. The ‘reorientation to Asia’ is hitting the Russians hard, as exports to China are loss-making (!) and made below cost.
@kravietz@KraftTea the war market is a poor imitation of wealth. Because even we can have big numbers the people's wellbeing is low. This money won't produce any food, clothing or housing, it will lead to a market crash.
I experiece a burnout since three weeks ago, because I was really entrapped by the Austrian education system. One of the labs took me most of the time during every week, including my weekends. Not to mention it's only 1.5 ECTs. Unfortunately I can't understand anything from the lectures (which are 3 ECTs), if I don't do it. I need at least 20 ECTs and had to get a bunch of other subjects, on which I already started do fail, because I have no time.

The Nazis frequently used dehumanizing language and derogatory terms to refer to #communism and #communists. They portrayed communism as an evil force to be eradicated, and this dehumanization of communists played a significant role in the Nazi regime's persecution of political opponents, including communists, during their rule in Germany. This person is propagating Nazi rhetoric.
@dev0ur@Radical_EgoCom then you are imagining imposible things, because we don't have any political party and we are not affiliated with any political party. Seriously, read something about anarchism.
@activitypubblueskybridge Hope this is not an obvious question… I have enabled my Bluesky account for federation and it appears in Search on mastodon.social but when I try to follow it, the status is Pending. I’m not seeing any follow request at Bluesky however. Is there anything else that I should do or is Bluesky still not fully supporting yet?
@lstaples@activitypubblueskybridge I'm sorry to bother you, but is there a way to do that? My significant other is on Bluesky rn and it would be cool if we can see each other's posts.
