The funny thing is, up until now, it was a dead man's race. The students trying to resolve their contradictions of revolutionary fervor and liberally brainwormed non-violence (which has now been resolved by embracing those liberal brainworms and with them, representative democracy) and Vucic, who is just laughably incompetent. Unlike his predecessor Milosevic, he has absolutely 0 backing in any discernible ideology whatsoever, other than pure clientelism and self-interest. His regime is a house of cards, it's only the students' disorganization and their fanatic adherence to non-violence that has kept him in the game this long.

Serbian students call for early parliamentary elections

Just gonna copy my comment from the other thread

This declaration was literally just preceded by some liberal moron professor calling a handful of leftist students the "Khmer Rouge" and them being associated with a marginal leftist party in Serbia, which itself he alleges is being financed by the CPC (even though he doesn't provide any evidence for either of these claims whatsoever). He made these claims alongside accusations of this "minority" of students "sabotaging" the "majority" from voting to participate in the elections. Did I mention he considers it a bad thing that the students are anti-NATO? (like they didn't literally bomb the country, how could they possibly dislike them?). Because this request for the elections is gonna be accompanied by a list comprised of professors chosen by their students, there's a decent chance this fucking charlatan makes it on the list of those 250 professors. Makes me scared of the possibility these professors might be majority pro-EU, which doesn't bode well for the geopolitics of the country, especially not at this fucking moment.

I mean, it's commendable and all, but ultimately it's just gonna succumb to compromise and politcking. A similar situation happened in Montenegro. There it was right wing clericalists vs. a western backed neolib government (I know, the balkans are fucking weird), and in the end, the western backed dictator is casually enjoying life outside of jail like nothing ever happened. Same thing is gonna happen here, except maybe Vucic will get 5 years in prison (10 max), and everyone will accept the compromise just to get rid of him. Ultimately not much will change, although people might finally be exposed to a capitalist system which cannot justify itself being bad just by being "crony".

Edit - Another thing I didn't mention: This declaration was literally just preceded by some liberal moron professor calling a handful of leftist students the "Khmer Rouge" and being associated with a marginal leftist party in Serbia, which itself he alleges is being financed by the CPC (even though he doesn't provide any evidence for these claims whatsoever).

Exactly this. You not only have to have confidence, but also be witty and have a bit of bravado ideally. You also have to treat fascists as fucking fascists, don't be charitable whatsoever, initiate the name calling and openly mock them whilst being cool headed and above the situation itself. Many leftist instead engage in debates where they let the fascist speak, express his views etc. You need to call a spade a spade immediately, not fuck around for the sake of liberal civility.

Depends on the country, I feel like. In fact, my own nation is one of those nations that treats expats exceptionally well, but my nation is small and an unusual place to emigrate to (for now at least, I feel like more people are picking up on how cheap this nation really is, along with the nightlife and women etc.). On the other hand, Russia I'm sure has to be somewhat used to foreigners, at least in Moscow where these people would be emigrating to.

Yeah, I agree, although I would say those chuds he is marketing his country to in fact worship brand names and hyperfinancialization. Like for example, much of their trading apps like robinhood literally aren't available outside of the US. Besides, in Russia, they would be just another white person. In Amerikkka, they are the privileged class.

In what world would those chuds fulfilling those conditions not just choose Trump's America over Russia? Much better standard of living, also much higher chance of not being struck by a drone.
