since the moron announced he is gonna nuke us all i can't help deliberating about how to spend my last days.

1/ ofc my first thoughts are to go on a hedonist spree now?
but i am not really a hedonist type, so am a bit clueless about what type of hedonism to pursue prior to the apocalypse?!?
i am somewhat reconsidering the fish toe sucking cuz eventual (subsequent) limb amputation (viz another thread) is not a problem anymore.
however, in the past, i read a novel about a guy who was told he is terminally ill and he then immersed himself in hedonism (he has spent recklessly all his savings), and later he was told that the initial claim was a fatal mistake, i.e. still a long life awaited him (without any assets left).
thus gonna probably wait for the verification by the other moron on his "truth social" — before going madly for a fish toe sucking (or alike).

2/ my second thoughts are about what species God Almighty choses next (after monkeys evolved into the all-destructive morons ultimately) as His next favorite guinea pigs to experiment with? is He gonna increase the intelligence of rats or rabbits or roosters (after the responsible moron monkey is gonna nuke all the irresponsible degenerate monkeys)?

in sum, after carefully listening to the moron's tv address to the brainwashed, i agree that he has no other responsible option left than to make a big blast because all is just vanity, vanity, vanity (nobody listens) and i am just glad he announced the upcoming apocalypse in advance so we still have some time left to (at least) finish our opened polls. only "tower of babel" is coming a bit too late (i am afraid) — not much time left to build if up to heaven (from scratch).

jiri what's up we were worried! i am nervous here i can't imagine how y'all are feeling

at least the EU and NATO are united now, exactly the opposite of what both morons wanted

restore order please, heads of government

no worries, putler can only destroy those who never ate mushrooms (which i did in the past and thus i am safe!).
tho, i must admit that my attention is somewhat flickering and thus at the moment instead of gazing on war news in disbelief i am marveling at mount etna's blast...

wow. between this and the cargo ship full of luxury cars on fire in the atlantic it's shaping up to be one hell of a year. stay safe everyone (eat mushrooms!)

My timeline is pretty much split at the minute between people talking about military tactics (fascinating, if only it was abstract theory) and those that want to fuck zelensky (understandable, I am with them)

If only the sex people ran the world.

(Oh and there's also those descrying the fervour for war of the entire industrial-military complex, but those are very very few, very odd how few)

speak of the moron (#2). no one will convince me putin didn't help install trump specifically to destroy NATO (and funded brexit to hurt the EU). this was the plan ALL ALONG

and that is all i have to say about that

despite this whole moronic invasion being insane, i will attempt a single reasonable note.
among all the imperialist invasions, Kremlin ever orchestrated, i am (naturally) most familiar with the invasion into Czechoslovakia in 1968.
thus i am looking at the current invasion mostly via the prism of the 1968 invasion.

the 1968 invasion (like many other invasions that ever happened) was surrounded by a similar bullshit invaders' narrative we witness these days — that invaders sent by Kremlin are coming to "help" the bros, etc., etc. (viz the insistence on phrases like "operation aiming for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine" and trying to make the word "invasion" taboo).

(contrary to the current invasion) the 1968 invasion was pretty fast, invaders didn't face any armed opposition, they just captured the main representatives of Prague Spring, dragged them to Moscow, kept them as hostages for a few days, exposed them to severe pressure and the result was something called "Moscow Protocol" → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Protocol — i.e. the local government abandoning attempts for democratic socialism and re-embracing neo-stalinism, agreeing with "temporary" (that was supposed to last forever) deployment of Kremlin troops, loyalty to a new puppet regime, etc., etc.).

prior to the Moscow Protocol being signed, local folks were (more or less) unanimously against the Kremlin invaders (including the vast majority of the members of the local communist party) and staunchly supported the Prague Spring protagonists that were dragged to Moscow (demanding their instant release). however, after the Prague Spring men were finally released and Kremlin invaders had in hands the Moscow Protocol with Prague Spring heroes' signatures (with a single exception — František Kriegel (born in 1908 in the nowadays Ukraine!, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire) was the only one being able to withstand the Kremlin pressure and didn't sign the shit "protocol" in his Moscow captivity → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franti%C5%A1ek_Kriegel ) the spirit of resistance was broken and what followed was a submission.
Jan Palach's later self-immolation was a desperate attempt to rekindle the spirit of resistance but it didn't really work.

after the newly installed (local) puppets (supervised by invaders) carried out the purge (btw. the main Prague Spring hero (Alexander Dubček) was not completely deposed immediately — at first, he was just appointed as a new ambassador to Turkey and only a few months later was kicked out completely), they started to show a somewhat milder face (f.e. newlyweds getting no-interest loans that made nesting easier and (naturally) a local baby-boom followed — me being born 5 yrs after the invasion, am also the product of this dirty business of fucked ppl starting to fuck like rabbits in order to forget their plight). the big climax of this "idyll" (viz also the idyllic THE TOWN IN WHITE from 1972 → viewtopic.php?p=37071#p37071 ) was a comedy consisting of invaders taking one of the locals in outer space in 1978 (i.e. Vladimír Remek, the first cosmonaut from a country other than the Soviet Union or the United States → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladim%C3%ADr_Remek ). locals, proud of their cosmonaut (taken into outer space by invaders), were supposed to finally heal the wound caused by the invasion.

so, whenever i am gazing in disbelief at the current invasion reports (based on all the aforementioned) all i am hoping for is not to hear that the representatives of Ukraine were captured, dragged into Kremlin, and forced to sign an updated version of the "Moscow Protocol" — because that was the moment when the real shit happened in 1968 (that was the turning point between enthusiastic resistance and the apathetic submission). so far Volodymyr Zelensky can post his selfies and issue his video addresses from inside the resisting Kyiv all is "well" (if anything can be "well" in this pile of shit) and invaders are losing (regardless of any territorial gains here and there).

please post more notes if you feel like it, there's so much propaganda floating around (even unintentionally shared or well-meaningly wilfully on behalf of ukr cause) that other viewpoints are much cherished! if not any less confusing....

anyone got any info on the donbas mayors arrested by ukr for treason? am seeing nothing about reaction of local peoples in those regions....

also everyone i have read has said fall of kyiv is inevitable so unless zelensky martyrs himself, am assuming something like the moscow protocol is gonna happen....

never realised that putin was poutine in french, the news is making me hungry!

also, genuine LOL

jiri and i are outing kg nazis :p

this forum being somewhat broken (technically) made me take a look at what cinephiles on the kg forum discuss right now and i can't believe my eyes.
kg forum is bugged by pootin apologism.
i don't know what was going on there in the past days but i must admit i am mildly shocked.
did you follow the kg moronism right from the start, rischka?
can you tell me in an abridged version how it all came into this "moni" shit?
as far as i understand some kg stalinists rejected "ukraine MoM" suggestion?!?

yeah there were several stalin avatars on some film comments. the idea of ukrainian MoM was abandoned after this moni person insisted all comments would have to be closed. after several film comments sections went of course the forum thread was created for the topic and moni took it from there. i've seen nazis there before; i once argued with a guy who insisted racism was good and natural :\

but i'm now feeling personally attacked there so time to move on lol. i removed my social media tags from my profile too

everyone is allowed to have an opinion and express it there of course but that was a bunch of nonsense

meanwhile moni is busily uploading and translating all the russian propaganda they can access

bad for my blood pressure to engage rn

[img]https://c.tenor.com/qk3e3XbA6sMAAAAM/you-mad-grumpy.gif[\img]

serves you right for sneaking off to other forums

i was gonna say that one slight upside of all this is that on twitter at least all the comments i'm reading are from literally all around the world (with exception now of russia and china, and all the hindu modi fans suddenly gone quiet too) and it's so nice

i don't intend to become kg "macron" and get involved in a lengthy chat with a manipulative prick.
i might just occasionally shout (on kg) something rude or ironic.
as pootin himself would say, i am guided by my best intentions but pootin apologism is forcing me to act like an abuser! i am a victim!

you done good jiri - it's great to have an international community during these times. we are all connected and it's harder and harder to ignore it

i may be dumb but i still have hope for humanity

keeping fingers crossed (middle finger stretched) moni's subbing efforts bringing him the VIP status.
subbers are highly appreciated on kg!

once moni & gang uploads and translates all the kremlin propaganda i will suggest a "dada MoM"!

ahahahahahahaha that was another thing i actually lol'd at today

https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1 ... 6716152841

and "dada MoM" can be followed by "covfefe MoM" and "macron the negotiating clown MoM".
anyway, going to chill now a bit too.

btw. i watched today a local film with a hero who makes bucks by operating a drone and he decides to assassinate Dick Cheney during his Prague visit. so, i admit i am somewhat politically aroused (sniffing for the blood of the lambs — like f.e. of the innocent pootin).

https://letterboxd.com/film/droneman/

https://cineuropa.org/en/film/383228/
The story of two friends who run a prosperous drone rental company is set in contemporary Prague. The business owner nicknamed Plech (Jiři Mádl), a rapper in free time, dreams of big money and unshakable security. A chemist and excellent air navigator Pavel (Kryštof Hádek), who has just returned from abroad, dreams of justice and personal engagement in rectifying the world. Drones are for the former high school classmates a pass into many areas of human behavior where they would otherwise did not have a chance to peer into. Their clients include a presidential candidate and artists organizing happenings. Drones monitor power stations, wear luxury handbags at fashion shows instead of models or spray the Petřín watchtower. But when one of the heroes decides to use the drone for something completely different, the situation starts to complicate in the drone rental company.

unfortunately, the way of storytelling of this film is too conventional and thus i can't really recommend it to cinephiles with refined taste.
i wish this plot of assassinating Cheney in Prague to be told in a more haphazard or Brechtian or Godardian manner.

i laugh every single time
