Happy St Patrick’s Day!
I made a beef and Guinness stew for this evening to celebrate.
Do you like Guinness or other types of Stout?
I was just reading about the Belgrade protests after the railway station accident. Funny enough, I learned about it in r/lotr because many people were carrying LOTR-related banners and slogans. Greece also had similar protests due to the recent railway accident.
Do you know who else has had extremely tragic railway accidents recently with a high death toll? And do you know in which country no official has resigned for this, there has been no justice for the dead and nobody faced any consequences? And, in which country there have been zero protests?
We weren’t always like this. I almost cried when I saw those students protesting, because I was one of them once. We flooded the streets by the 10k, the young, the old, students, grannies everyone and we raised our voice. It is not like there wasn’t any police violence back then (I saw my friend get stumped on the head by a policeman, he had a bruise shaped like a boot print afterwards). Nowadays, it’s like the entire country is doing morphine. Nobody gives a fuck enough, or people are just scared, or they don’t have hope any more, I have no idea.
