Cyber Yugoslavia

[elena]

Dear Yoshie,
Pathetic it may be, but it is not the Deridaean type of clean, well-lighted
place. Maybe you missed some of the irony (is there such an expression -
self-sarcasm?) And it feels very nostalgically end-of-socialist, too (if you
like reading fiction/watching films, Russian/ex-Soviet, ex-soc countries,
made in the 80's particularly). Even such escapist spaces could be used
because right over here, there's too little protest of any kind, anyway, and
if the left can use it as a jumping-board - what's wrong with that? Another
pathetic suggestion to you: if all we do in "real life" doesn't seem to help
much, why should we discard even if the smallest chance to reach more
people - most of the subscribers (at least when I last checked) were from
the Balkan region (and mostly Yugo)?
CyberYugo is not CyberAmerica; and cyberopposition is not the substitute for
"real" opposition - at least, not in Yugoslavia. Cyber Yugo may turn out
just a bubble; still, why not try? I don't mean *you, personally*.
Sidebar: just curious, who would you recommend to send your greetings to re:
blackmail going on in post-war Yugoslavia (the real one), corrupting
whatever opposition there's now left by coercing it to strike a deal with
EU, etc? That, or "let them freeze to death" (doug's post, i think)?
