Possible Revolution in Belarus after Rigged election

[Mannixa Prime]

Hopefully he stays in power. We have enough neo liberal regimes in the world thank you.

You clearly have no idea how evil a man he is

And I should give a shit why??

He doesn't believe in liberal democracy, and neo-liberal capitalism, that makes him worse than Hitler.

[Exalted Inquellian State]

Ok, it's 10:17 in Belarus, and still no council meeting.

Perhaps Lukashenko is trolling them and has no intention of meeting with them?

No, I meant a meeting between the council members themselves. Seems they already had it. They decided to elect a 7 man presidium which will in turn elect it's chairman. I believe they plan to start negotiations with Lukashenko on a referendum, new constitution, and who is president.

...Hitler didn't believe in either of those, either.

I am aware of that yes... the snarky comment was meant to be a snarky comment.

He’s not going to allow a fair election on any referendum or new constitution

Good.

[Aureumterra]

All three of these have rigged elections and maintained an authoritarian grip on their country since they came to power, oftentimes changing the constitution, so yes, all three of these belong and I have no sympathy for any dictators

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think Morales counts...

Morales changed Bolivia’s constitution to stay in power

[Atheris]

Oh, come on, Morales! Being Spider-Man wasn't enough, and now you have to run a South American country as an autocrat?!

Lmao you probably just heard of Belarus this past week.

[The Marlborough]

You clearly don’t understand that some people don’t give a flying fuck if he’s evil

In the context of authoritarian leaders, he is rather tame.

Well, I know my support doesn't matter, but if they change their mind and say it does, they better check their deck and squeeze those negotiations for freedom juice because I'm not supporting a violent revolution. Enough people died.

Go move to Minsk

[Bjelarus]

Some interesting news here folks:

Response of the Grodno City Executive Committee to the demands / Ответ Гродненского городского исполнительного комитета на требования (In Russian?)

[The Marlborough]

Good.

Go move to Minsk

Oh man, what a come back; I could easily say the same thing to you.

[Atheris]

Good.

I find it kinda funny that a monarchist is (seemingly) supportive of a dictator that still uses Soviet symbolism.

I dunno. Kind of ironic.

[Post War America]

Good.

Same could be said to you. Calling for war when you have no stakes in it, is pretty gauche.

[The Marlborough]

I'm a bit of a Sovietophile tbh.

So in your book basically any authoritarian regime is good if it is reactionary and oppressive enough?

Obeyism is more a fetish than any sort of coherent philosophy.

I do enjoy Communist aesthetic. I may hate the ideology, but I'll be damned if I diss the Hammer and Sickle.

They were the perfect adversary and had great taste in aesthetics.

All the bad ideologies have dope-ass aesthetics. Fascists had edgy, black flags and cool logos, communists had the Hammer and Sickle and love for the Motherland, and imperialists had exploration and spreading Christianity. I wish capitalism and democracy had shit like that.

Blue stars are overused, agreed
