I just did some quick analysis of my discussion with the Greek fascists on Twitter - I wrote 35 tweets, got 70 direct replies (plus a bunch of indirect) and refuted all their arguments with logic.. it was fun and it pissed them off a lot, because they think the whole world is with them..
my bf told me the other day that when i argue with fascists on twitter that I am excited in the same way as when I am crushing the enemy when playing AgeOfEmpires π
It is against the socialist government, but the labels make no difference in the Balkans mostly, at least economic and social policy -wise
From TW, another people riot you don't hear about much (happening regularly lately and right now):
"Violence erupted this evening in Albanian capital Tirana after protesters tried to enter the parliament. After demonstrators threw stones, lit fires and broke through a police cordon, officers used tear gas to disperse them."
There's one in Belgrade, Serbia every weekend as well. And it's mostly common people, both intellectuals and workers, pissed off at their governments.
just venting a bit
I told a journalist on Twitter that what she said is an example of censorship is actually not censorship and she basically told me to mind my own business and not teach her on what is journalism.
Like journalists are the only ones with the power to decide on the meaning of some words...
"The primary audience and organizing platform for far-right activism remains the internet. Even when alt-right folks gather in person, itβs mostly about getting group photos that can be used to recruit new followers online by promising a sense of community.
So for those who are attracted to the simple pleasure of screwing with Nazis, the online world is where to go to make fools of these fools."

is there some online resource about the peaceful side of anarchism, such as a news portal, a directory of links or a group of people who plan online activist events? most of the things I find relate to general history or how to start a revolution, but as I have no anarchist friends it is hard to see how I could get involved..
any ideas or thoughts on this?
after 2 years of fighting an ex-landlord in court, the battle is finally won.. never again will someone try to cheat me for money with a smile on their face.. and since she called me a Communist (as an insult) for claiming that tenants have rights, seems like another victory for me and my Commie comrades, aka you π
