How would be the yugoslavs on social media/internet ?

croatia would be an influencer. thirst traps, aesthetic feed, wouldn’t follow back anyone. probably one of the best insta feeds and is really annoying about it and if you hang out with him he’ll make you take 1,000 pictures without posting any.

bosnia and herzegovina would both be facebook parents. herze would post the classic balkan parent images like this :

meanwhile enis just shares insane conspiracy theories usually related to turkey and poorly made ai drawings he thinks are real

serbia would be typical gaser and make a separate account to bully ppl about kosovo

janez would be the no profile pic no posts kind of guy with an occasional story

Slovenia got its two finalists in the first round of presidential elections held on Sunday – Anže Logar, an MP for the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party, SDS, and Natasa Pirc Musar, an attorney and former Information Commissioner and journalist. On 13 November, one of them will become the new President.

The position of state president in Slovenia is important. Although the post involves quite a lot of protocol obligations in a political system like Slovenia’s, the President of the Republic has, or may have, important political weight. They are an important symbol of the country. Citizens should be able to rely on the President to help them make difficult political decisions.

The President is also an important figure in government relations. They have the ability to respond to current policies and thus significantly influence the formation of standpoints on political or social problems. Citizens felt this most between 2020 and 2022, when Janez Jansa’s government, under the pretext of fighting Covid-19, punished people for reading the constitution in town squares and protesting against his government’s ill-considered measures.

The current President, Borut Pahor, however, hasn’t spoken up once during this period! The entire time, he was making pacts with Jansa, while the latter was insulting political rivals, journalists and ordinary citizens in the position of Prime Minister. Pahor simply didn’t understand that, as Jean-Paul Sartre said: “Every word has consequences. Every silence, too”. In the spirit of overcoming divisions and the urgency of collaboration, he remained silent and allowed racism, chauvinism and homophobia to flourish in public discourse. Pahor is mainly responsible for the fact that Slovenia is now dealing with the heritage of the third government of Janša, who, like any authoritarian, destroyed everything around him.

The fact that Jansa’s SDS has a presidential candidate confirms that the second round of presidential elections is important. Logar declares himself to be independent, trying in every way to move away from the policies of his party and his boss. He’s unclear in terms of his standpoints. He calls for dialogue, collaboration, and overcoming differences. In his slogans, we hear likeable words about having a “vision” for the country’s development. His messages go far beyond the jurisdiction of a state president, which is no obstacle to sending citizens corny messages about how important it is for us to work together and love each other.

This is a typically hypocritical approach for someone who, without Janša, would not even exist as an actor in the political space. Logar owes everything he has achieved in life to the SDS. From leader of the youth wing of the party, through to Member of Parliament, to Foreign Minister. He even obtained his PhD from a private faculty run by members and sympathizers of the SDS. He is a Member of Parliament, in which he and his party are trapped beyond reality, abusing democratic instruments (referendums) and spreading hatred towards those who think differently. Via their messages, this hatred is spreading like physical violence on the streets of Ljubljana.

On the other side, there’s the non-party candidate, Nataša Pirc Musar, who was supported in the first round by two smaller non-parliamentary parties. Due to a professionally managed campaign, despite minor slip-ups in political communication, she has made it to the second round. This candidate is in a better strategic position than Logar, who is limited to the votes of the Right, which is unable to get 50-per-cent plus-1 votes in Slovenia. The simple logic of the basic cleavage in voting has repeatedly shown that there are many more left-liberal voters in Slovenia than supporters of Jansa’s right-wing policies.

The situation is virtually identical to that of 2007 when the Right’s candidate, Lojze Peterle, and the Left’s Danilo Türk, faced each other. In the first round, Peterle was victorious but in the second, he lost by a large margin. Slovenia’s presidential elections, which take place under a majority electoral system, have a predetermined result that is more favourable toward left-liberal voters. And that’s how things will unfold this time too.

Nataša Pirc Musar meets all the criteria to be elected. In her career, she has been a public figure campaigning for human rights. Regardless of everything else, her trump card is the opposing Logar, who is the personalization of Janša’s politics. Put simply, Janša is the figure who will decide the outcome of the presidential election.

With his policy of total misunderstanding of the world that he lives in, Janša is giving Logar the image of a contaminated politician who is failing to keep his promises. Logar is trying with all his might to defend himself from this, but his political career is a school case of loyalty to his boss. Logar is a prisoner – because Jansa gave him everything. He knows he’s going to lose the election because of Jansa; but on the other hand, he also knows that, without Jansa, he wouldn’t exist as a political actor. If he weren’t in the SDS, he’d be a third-rate politician who could possibly become a candidate for mayor of a small municipality, which is far from the status of a state president.

However, Slovenia is faced with an important choice. Jansa’s two years of reign have left irreparable consequences for Slovenian society. The people haven’t forgotten this. They’re prevented from doing so by Jansa himself, who daily engages in inciting quarrels, dealing with imaginary opponents and abusing democratic institutions. Hardly a day passes without some post full of racism, chauvinism or homophobia being published on a social network. He is burdened with his early frustrations and traumas, which he treats in this way.

In public discourse, the Right in Slovenia is constantly sending nationalist paroles about the unity of the nation and the significance of Slovenian independence, which was won more than 30 years ago. This involves standpoints that have absolutely nothing to do with the people’s real life now. In this sense, Logar is trying to be different, but all his attempts are limited to empty slogans, which the majority doesn’t believe in. In confrontations and interviews, he didn’t provide a single concrete standpoint, not even regarding relations with his party’s boss.

It’s going to take a long time to restore the reputation of the function of state president. Over the past years, citizens had the feeling that such a political figure doesn’t exist, since the position was occupied by Pahor, who was obsessed with his Instagram profile. A person who, in his mature years, boasts about his sports achievements, waving the Slovenian flag at national team matches – while the Interior Minister approves the use a water cannon and tear gas in Ljubljana, without any proper reason, just because people were protesting against the government. Pahor stayed silent while Janša and the team were literally taking it out on the citizens.

People in Slovenia are fed up with policies that are based on ideas of paranoid hysterics, fake heroes, and inauthentic statesmen. They don’t know how it so happened that, in 30 years of a democratic state, we’ve had two cases of such poor political leaders. This total absence of political intelligence and absolute misconception of the world by two central politicians has cost Slovenia dear over the past two years. We must put an end to this. The only answer to this dilemma is Natasa Pirc Musar.

For a second I confused Slavoj Žižek with Janez Jansa and I was extremely puzzled by you last post

[no0dlru]

Dunno if he's still relevant but plsplspls give interesting facts about Dejan if you wanna because I have been thirsting over this dude 😭😭😭

What a message to get in the middle of the night haha... urh... it's difficult to give interesting facts about people who try cultivate anonymity... some of this I'm pretty sure I just remember but haven't seen the source in years.

His dad, Janez, did the Red District series and all those sick prints that've been revisited since the beginning, and it was his idea to rename Laibach 'Laibach' rather than Salte Morale, when Dejan had founded it with a couple other people in his summer holidays or whatever when he was 17. Dejan does neat paintings, including the ones for the Peter Paradox release. Dark Side of Europa was actually released on YouTube a couple months back but was taken down almost immediately when @b-i-r-0 posted a link 😒. Dejan's 190cm tall (I remember laughing when I first saw that on his nsk passport since that's a foot taller than me). He was gonna be in a vampire film a couple years back, but had to drop out due to health reasons (sucks for thirsty people all round, huh). He's had a bunch of pseudonyms; Eber, Operator 99 Knez, Baron Karl von Reichenbach... Novi Kolektivizem, of which Dejan was a core part, did the web design for nsk back in the day, so if you're interested in some cryptic paragraphs about 300,000V.K. in bare bones html, it's out there. .....eh, I know I know more, but I really can't remember right now, I'll sleep on it anon.

i think i do want to eventually do a write up with my coherent thoughts on vesseldom in supernatural and i think one of my talking point is definitely going to be about the fact that jimmy novak (as a fictional character) being the platonic ideal of “just some guy” was almost certainly on purpose. i made a post a while ago talking about how “jan/janez novak” (which translates more directly to john novak, but is phonetically similar to james) is what they use in czech/slovene instead of “john doe” and i remember someone tagged it with “assigned body by the narrative” which is a phrase that genuinely has not left my head since

[homeosloven]

with more than 90% of ballots counted, we can safely say the government won all three referendums, but most importantly, SDS and Janez Janša got three "kicks in the pussy", as we would say na Balkanu, in one night :) and that's priceless.

In the Czech Republic’s presidential election last weekend, retired Army Gen. Petr Pavel took 58 percent of the vote, overwhelmingly defeating business tycoon and former Prime Minister Andrej Babis. Pavel served as head of the Czech Army and later as chair of the NATO Military Committee, second only to the alliance’s secretary-general. He campaigned on a promise to deliver stability. Babis, who held office from 2017 to 2021, now leads the opposition ANO party and is facing an investigation on charges of tax evasion and money laundering.

Babis’s loss seems to follow a tide turning against global populism, including the defeats of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and former Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa. As prime minister, Babis mishandled the Czech Republic’s COVID-19 crisis and became known for his soft spot for authoritarian Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The combined effects of the pandemic and Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine seem to have boosted voters’ desire for some stability.

In times of peace, countries can generally cope with populist leaders for one or two terms, but such leadership becomes problematic in the face of overlapping crises. With Pavel’s victory, the Czech Republic shows that a truth-based campaign against populism can win. His presidency could mark a shift in Czech politics.

The president’s office will now come back into alignment with the center-right government’s policies. Importantly, Pavel also plans to focus on the grievances of those who voted for Babis. And for allies in the European Union and beyond, the Czech Republic now faces a chance to become a very reliable partner.

For the first time since Vaclav Havel held office, the Czech Republic will have a president who is not a professional politician, which may be an advantage in a role intended to work across political lines. The country is a parliamentary republic, meaning its president has limited powers; but since its foundation in 1918, presidents have played an outsized role in domestic and foreign policy, usually in times of political crises. Pavel’s immediate predecessors, Vaclav Klaus and Milos Zeman, were both former prime ministers who used the office as a tool for their political aims.

Pavel has the potential to turn the page. As a former military leader, he can appeal to people more easily than political elites. The Czech Army is now one the country’s most trusted institutions, whereas the public tends to doubt politicians. Before taking office, Pavel plans to travel to poor regions home to Babis’s support base and discuss possible solutions to structural social and economic problems, such as affordable housing shortages, limited job opportunities, and low levels of education. These regions include areas along the Czech Republic’s border with Germany and Poland, where the expulsion of the German-speaking population after World War II left long-lasting scars.

After graduating from the Czech military academy in 1983, Pavel joined the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and led an airborne reconnaissance unit. He enrolled in intelligence training in 1988 but only performed the job later under democratic governance. Although his history with the Communist Party may have weakened his candidacy, it didn’t turn out to be decisive. Pavel’s broad support may indicate that the Czech Republic has reconciled with its past, especially given his 30 years of service to democratic governments.

Pavel rose quickly in the military ranks after the end of the Cold War, winning the French Legion of Honor for leading a unit that rescued 53 French soldiers under siege by Serbian troops in Croatia in 1993. His accession to the presidency is a clear sign of the rehabilitation of the Czech Army, which once had a reputation as an enabler of the communist regime. Pavel’s post-1989 commitment to liberal democratic values personifies the Czech Army’s transformation into a valued ally within NATO and a respected force at home.

Pavel’s military experience quickly came up during the campaign, as Russia’s war in Ukraine became a key election issue. Early on, Babis called the retired general a warmonger and called for peace in Ukraine—mirroring both Orban and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Babis also hinted at a plan to organize a peace summit at Prague Castle and went as far as saying he wouldn’t agree with dispatching the military if Russia attacked the Baltic states or Poland. (Hours later, he walked this statement back, adding that he would honor the obligations of NATO’s Article 5 on collective defense.)

The Czech president doesn’t make decisions about the country’s military engagement, which is left to the country’s government. Pavel called only for continuing Prague’s support for Kyiv to avoid further aggression from Moscow that could come even closer to the Czech border. Nonetheless, democratic forces elsewhere should pay close attention to future Czech presidential contests, as Russia’s war in Ukraine will certainly appear as a key issue in future elections. A divisive campaign like Babis’s might work in a different context—such as neighboring Slovakia, where early elections are expected this year.

The Czech president is expected to represent the country abroad, giving the role some influence over foreign policy. Petr Kolar, Pavel’s chief foreign-policy advisor and the former Czech ambassador to the United States and Russia, said in an interview that the new president will respect the constitution and closely coordinate with the cabinet. Although that may sound obvious, it isn’t in the context of Pavel’s immediate predecessor, Zeman. The outgoing president used political crises to form his own caretaker government and often resisted prime ministers’ cabinet proposals.

Under Pavel, the Czech Republic will further solidify its position as Central and Eastern Europe’s liberal democratic stronghold. His election is bad news for Orban, who will become further isolated as he loses allies Babis and Zeman. In an unprecedented gesture, Slovak President Zuzana Caputova traveled to Prague to congratulate Pavel on the day of his election, suggesting potential for synergy between the two countries—at least until the Slovak parliamentary elections. Poland also expressed satisfaction with Pavel’s election, given his stated support for Ukraine.

Pavel won’t bring much change to the Czech Republic’s posture toward Russia. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Prague has been among Kyiv’s top supporters, including with weapons shipments. (The Czech Republic was the first country to deliver tanks, attack helicopters, armored vehicles, and rocket launchers to Ukraine.) One of the president-elect’s first calls to foreign leaders was with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. Pavel will become active in coordinating with allies on aid to Ukraine; he and Caputova already discussed a plan for a joint visit to Kyiv in the spring. On Wednesday, Pavel told the BBC that Ukraine should join NATO “as soon as the war is over.”

One should expect some adjustment to the Czech Republic’s position on China and Taiwan. The Beijing-friendly Zeman laid obstacles like government efforts to recognize Taiwan’s economic importance on the one hand and condemn China’s human rights record and aggressive foreign policy on the other. Pavel is already showing his colors: On Monday, he spoke with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. (China promptly condemned the call. Czech diplomats have reiterated that Prague’s China policy remains the same.) Pavel also tweeted that he hopes to meet with her in person, and the speaker of the Czech Parliament, Marketa Pekarova Adamova, is planning an official trip to Taiwan in March.

Pavel is pro-Europe and knows Brussels well, both from his time as a Czech deputy military representative to the European Union and later as NATO Military Committee chief. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the president-elect both a European and an Atlanticist, according to Kolar. The two leaders are likely to build on previous contact from when von der Leyen was Germany’s defense minister. When it comes to participation in summits, the current division of labor will likely continue: Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala will attend EU leaders’ meetings and Pavel will attend NATO summits, unless they agree otherwise.

Finally, Pavel will certainly energize the Czech Republic and the wider region’s trans-Atlantic ties. During his military career, he worked alongside U.S. colleagues, including serving as a national military representative to U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida. He can also rely on the friendship and advice of several U.S. generals, such as retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the former commander of U.S. forces in Europe.

With Pavel’s election, Czech allies are getting a predictable partner. He isn’t the kind of politician making promises that he can’t keep but rather a leader who will follow through on his commitments. Czechs now have three years without major elections, and the president and Parliament appear to be aligned on liberal democratic values—presenting a unique opportunity to become a regional anchor. Although Pavel may be a less dramatic president than his predecessors, that could be a positive thing in a parliamentary republic, reflective of a government working as it should.

Janez (oc) like janez the principal of slovenia Dragon Roars

i involve myself in enough janša posting that it makes me worry someone will think im posting about one when im talking about the other

[orange-positivity]

Hello, sorry I've been inactive but things are A Lot™ right now (which is also why I'm making this post)

But yeah, before I start, this involves politics so if you don't want to read that's totally fine and just scroll past this post.

I mean, I'm going to try to keep it short. My country (Slovenia) got a new prime minister in March and right now, we're on the edge of a downward spiral into facism. If you are familiar with the situation in Hungary, Poland and Serbia, that's where we're headed.

There's not much you can do. There's not much we can do as Slovenians. We're out on the streets every week, protesting. There are actual Nazis at the protests as well and they're taking our pictures and doxxing us with the intent of getting the protesters fired from their jobs or getting them in trouble with the law. The prime minister, Janez Janša, supports the Nazis and the doxxing btw. (Also we know they're Nazis because they have Nazi tattoos and did Nazi salutes)

What I'm asking you to do is if you could please report this instagram account: @/domovinskaliga

https://instagram.com/domovinskaliga?igshid=i5p3h99lqofh

It's a run by a portion of those Nazis I was talking about earlier and I know you guys don't speak Slovenian so you can't understand most of their posts, but they are anti BLM and anti LGBTQ+ (which they call LGBT+P btw... You can only guess what the P stands for) (yep that's how they're trying to portray the LGBTQ+ community). I think reporting them for hate speech would be most effective since they actually go against the instagram guidelines.

I know instagram probably won't take them down (since instagram can't speak Slovenian either) but maybe there's a chance if enough people report it.

If anyone wants me to translate their posts or wants to know more about the current situation here, lmk! And thank you if you took the time to read this post!

ANGST/SOFTober 3: sleepless + whispers

this one is based off a rp I and @randomborednessidunno did, I miss our characters just being Fools and these two prompts reminded me of them

also I'm caught up with the prompts so now I'll be posting one drabble per day

***

Franek couldn't sleep.

It's not that the didn't try, of course, but if he closed his eyes for too long, nightmares always came.

So he couldn't sleep.

Instead, he moved to the window seat, watching as the stars and what he assumed were either sattelites or space shuttles zooming across the sky.

It must've been centuries since he's had proper sleep, but as a king he couldn't complain about it. As a king, he always had to be refined, graceful, and not so tired he felt like he could sleep for a millenium.

Janez, his guard, was still asleep. That was better, Franek thought, sinking deeper into the cushions spread over the window seat. He didn't have to think about the soulmate mark Janez had on his back - the one that matched Franek's, and the one he always hid away ...

So focused on his thoughts, Franek didn't hear Janez's shifting and footsteps.

"Your majesty?"

The whispered question finally shook the ruler of orion, sirius and aldebaran back into reality.

Janez sat down at the edge of the window seat, moonlight falling onto his sharp features - usually he hid those, and the rest of himself under many layers of clothing. Even now that he was wearing his sleepwear, he hid himself under one of the many blankets from Franek's bed.

"Janez?" Franek whispered back, "You're up?"

"I cannot sleep anymore," Janez explained.

That was the main reason Franek invited his guard to sleep in the same bed as him. And it was easier pretending that Janez liked him back like this.

"Ah ..." Franek let out.

"The stars are quite pretty from afar, are they not?"

"They are," Franek agreed.

"And you know-" the guard paused, now looking at Franek, who turned to look at him when he did. For a brief moment it seemed like he was going to finish his sentence, but instead, he softly sighed. "Thank you, your majesty."

"You can call me my name," Franek reminded Janez, like so many times before, "And what are you thanking me for?"

"Letting me stay with you ... it is nice here."

"No problem ..." Franek softly responded.

The men fell silent, turning to the stars again. Franek wished they were embracing each other, and so did, unbeknownst to him, Janez.
