Pardon me for asking such a dumb question, Russia is a massive country, so the answer is probably yes. It’s just that those of us behind the burger curtain don’t really get to learn much about massive fucking nations such as Russia, China, or India. In school we are taught that every culture east of Leipzig or South Africa is a homogenous blob. ‘Once you’ve seen Moscow, you’ve already seen Cambodia’, was the MO in high school

In the Czech republic this is the case at least, though these pockets are fading. Mostly certain areas of downtown Prague and rural mining and tourist towns.

Are there any specific cities/towns you know of?

It'd probably doxx me if I got too specific but a quick way to check is KSCM voting patterns in local city councils

But yeah we still have cops that were from the communist era and are communist in my hometown, they only really harass rich tourists for breaking rules. It's a small town and I'm trans and they know it and have never bothered me. Its a pretty close knit community that shares a lot, like whenever I visit home everyone does a big dinner so I actually know these people fairly well

thonk-cri wish you could share but I understand completely.

I’ve always wanted to visit Prague and Czechia.one slight concern is that I have the likeness of a Romani person and I hear the brainworms against Romani are largest and meatiest in Czech Republic lol

Trying to look up KSCM voting based on city/town

I think speaking Spanish while looking like a Romani person and being a communist might literally put 5 GTA stars above your head if you go to most parts of Europe.

I don't think it'd be a problem in our town or Prague but plenty of places in Czechia are very reactionary now and will fuck with brown people for fun. In Prague they'd probably just think you're Turkish or Kazakh. I've heard a lot of racist shit coming from the Ukrainian population that moved to Prague tho

Russia may be better at this they're fairly multiethnic

Rustic alpine^[doing a bit of anti-Europe Orientalism, Occidentalism if you will; I know the Alps have nothing to do with Czechia] Disco Elysium is not a myth, I have seen it

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand what this means lol

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

I want a game that uses Disco Elysium's same insanely well crafted narrative system and wonderful writing...

... but it's about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in a small village in the Alps"
