Nothing but disgust

Belarus have adopted a new law. According to it each girl under 16 will pass an obligatory gynecological exam. In case she is not a virgin, the gynaecologist ьmust inform a head of local police, the latter informs psych, and they the girl must talk to an investigator.

In case they discover who she had sex with, this person goes to jail, if he is over 16 yo. Once again: its a law.

Right for privacy? Fucked up. Medical secrecy? Fucked up. Personal dignity? Fucked up. Also, Belarus has one of the highest child suicide rates in the world.

You need anticolonialism? I have some for you :)

In this video I’ll tell you why speaking Belarusian is so important for many Belarusians, and why I consider Belarusian language a warfare in our struggle against imperialism.
 
Do not forget to turn on English subtitles!
 

EU funds the dictatorship

The European Union donated around 2$ mln to Belarusian Border Committee for buying the equipment, vehicles and surveliance systems. Later on these tools were used for suppression the dissidents.

Woops, EU does not want migrants SO MUCH that eager to fund the dictatorship regimes and their repressive activities.

 

Did you know which Muslim community is the fastest growing in the world?

Latino Americans. By now there are 250 000 of them in the US, and the mumber grows very fast.

Some scholars say that this is the result of an anti-immigrant policy of the US elites, which demonize Latinos and thus forcing them to look for a community where they will be accepted and understood.

On my opinion that shows once again: the oppressed need an ideology. In a situation, when all other ideologies: Christianity, Anarchism, Communism, etc. show their bankruptcy in addressing their – they choose Islam. They did it in the Middle East, and now they are doing this in the US. And if this trend will grow (and it will), it gonna push US to a changes. Not anthropological or cultural – but civilization ones.

“The core principal, which is so entcising on Islam is that you have very personal relationship with God”. – one of the heroes said.

It is OK to be an extremist

As you, maybe, know, few time ago Belarusian parliament passed the law, which allows fining and arresting ppl for “extremist” posts in social media. What our courts do now? They add certain videos, web-pages, social media pages, T-shirts, sayings or even fridgies (!) to a “Republican list of the extremist materials” (which already holds few hundreds of items) and than they detain you wherever you want.

This list consists of anarchism-related materials on around 1\3.

For the last 7 month I had 2 court trials (and one more will be soon), one for “Distribution extremist materials”, one for “Demonstration nazi symbolic”, in both pictures these were FB posts with nazi posing with their symbolics, with my comments about what I think about them.

For the 1st time I was fined in the amount of 200 eur. 3 weeks ago – on the amount of 500 eur. Both times, once again, for posts in social media! Few days ago I got to know that they started new administrative case: for writing “ACAB” on my “Vkontakte” page. This abbreviation is also acknowledged as extremist, and now I face fine or up to 25 days of arrest.

Moreover, week ago, while passing the EU-Belarus border (I was coming back to Belarus from Vilnius) I was disembarked from the bus by the border guards, and they were checking my identity and luggage for around 2 hours.

Many other guys from the anarchist movement report about the same pressure.

Anyhow, fuck cops and authority. It’s OK to be an extremist.

Nice parody on the recent Gillette video

BTW interesting facts about the original video and distribution of roles within it: out of 43 men in the video, exhibiting “undesirable” behavior, 42 are white, 1 is black. Out of 7 males exhibiting “desirable” behavior, 5 are black, 2 are white. Hmmmm…

 

Just in order for you to understand the level of Russian imperialism

Cremlin “journalist” and a high-scale propagandist Dmitry Kiselev in his resent broadcast said that “if Belarus is going to tear down the alliance with Russia, there will be no Belarus anymore”.
 
And, not surprisingly, in Russia such a saying is not even newsworthy. Because it totally fits into colonial narrative, according to which Putin has a moral right to start wars on a postsoviet area just to keep minor states tied to “mother-Russia”.
 

A year passed already

A year passed since the English version of “The colours of the parallel world” was issued!

Now it is available for purchase in Dresden, Praha, Helsinki and Geteborg (https://radicalbook.tilda.ws/books). And also available for download here: https://radicalbook.tilda.ws/colours. And once again I say thank you to to all who participated in translation, editing and publishing!

 

Neon Genezis Evangelion

Пакуль не пачалася 25-я серыя, быў гатовы паставіць Евангеліон у шэраг лепшых анімэ-серыялаў якія глядзеў, роўненька побач з “Эльфійскай песняй”. Аднак апошнія дзве серыі сапсавалі гэтыя планы. Тым не менш, раю для прагляду. Класіка!
_______________
Until the episode 25 started, I was about to put Neon Genesis Evangelion on a stand with the best anime-seires I have ever watched. Just along with Elfen Lied. But the last two series spoiled this plan. Nevertheless, strongly advice it to you. That’s classic!
