if you can read slovak... http://www.pospolitost.sk/hlavna.htm ["nationalist" movements, or neo-nazi, really, in eastern europe. these people promote hate and racism, use the language of WWII germany, refer to their leader as 'fuhrer', greet each other with the nazi 'on guard'... ] tomorrow there will be a protest in bratislava, the capital of slovakia. this group doesn't agree with the fact that there are some members of the police force that are willing to defend the constitution, specifically the laws forbidding the promotion of hate.



a student was beat up on a streetcar because he had the look of a supporter of the 'people against racism' group [long hair, leftist.. oh the stereotypes..]

this has been happening for a while. i had heard on numerous occasions that if you have long hair [and you're a guy..] it is not recommended you go out late at night. (also, it is not recommended to go out if you shave your hair, because the ANTIFA [anti-facists] will get you, thinking you're a nazi. )

not a single politician has said anything so far. no one dares to publicly condemn an act of violence.

is fear such a human thing?



i gave my friend some answers to a quiz today. is that a socially approved habit?
