I was dragged to a metal concert in Minsk. I didn’t have a good time. I am a survivor and this is my story. My harrowing adventure occurred a year after the Zmagar protests of 2020 that almost took out Lukashenko and put a trio of gross mammies in charge of the country in his place.
Was in Sweden once, and ended up talking to a metalhead. Beardy longhair with a pudgy frame draped in a denim vest covered in band patches. Put him in a Marvel T-shirt and he'd fit right in. Anyhow. It being Sweden, the metal scene is dominated by Viking metal - Amon Amarth, that kind of thing. And that was this guy's thing.
Then migrants came up and he was, well, your typical Swede. Somehow he detected no contradiction between music that celebrated the lost warrior virtues of his ethnos, and the deracinated ideology of default globalist liberalism that, if brought to its logical Kalergi conclusion, will eradicate his ethnos in a historical eyeblink.
I say 'somehow' but really it's just the bugman norm. It's all just content and product to them.
«Minsk is a nice city, as is St. Petersburg, Kiev, the center of Moscow and so on. In fact, the views and political beliefs of the people who inhabit the good parts of these cities is virtually identical.»
It is not simply upper-middle class urban professionals or wannabe professionals who worship Google, Citibank, Tesla and aspire to be their minions.
Note: it is sad that russian/belarussian/ukrainian (like english, french, italian, polish, ... ones) upper-middle class young people dream of being minions for USA megacorporations, while japanese, chinese, korean ones aspire to work for japanese, chinese, korean megacorporations.
One of the bigger and longer term problems of Belarus and Ukraine is that their current post-WW2 borders are a-historical and include ethnic/cultural groups that used to be the lower nobility of the lithuanian-ruthenian-polish empire, and even after 200 years resent its defeat by Catherine II. Much of northern Belarus used to be owned by the lithuanian nobles, and much of western Belarus (and western and some central Ukraine) by the ruthenian nobles.
If there is something that many lithuanians, poles, ruthenians, especially emigrated ones, have in common is the dread of restoring their "intermarium" empire, even if they are at each other's throats as to which of them should be on top in it. It is like for the white russians, only so much worse (at least it is not as bad as for the "old believers").
The metal scene is quite White, quite rightly. Yes, there are metal heads in Mexico and farther south. Actually I think there are pockets all over the world. But the reason for the overwhelming whiteness of hue is because the music is not based in blues, jazz, gospel or rap, all traditionally Black genres.
Ironically the first heavy metal band was Black Sabbath, but they were White working class English lads and Ozzie sang w/o a hint of growling or screeching for that matter. They were the epitome of melodic metal and they incarnated fear of demons not solidarity w/ them. That's a huge spiritual/cultural transformation which has transpired over the course of metal's history. To me most of metal has now become a subset of either Death or Black Metal, the celebration of Hollywood-inspired slasher-evil triumphant. The unintelligible lyrics are declaimed, not sung , in orcish anger, propelled by inhumanly fast tempos that you can't even head-bang to let alone move your body with in dance.
A zombie nightmare that infects male Western youth and a big cultural problem.
"...... haven’t talked much about Belarus on this blog ... Lukashenko’s rule is worth discussing, as are the events surrounding the attempted color revolution against him"
I will definitely be checking back for that! - I think Belarus should be immensely interesting for everyone struggling against the Covid operation. Is Belarus, in fact, essentially the only 1st or 2nd world nation to take a pass on the Covid game? - (or is that a misunderstanding?) . Was the attempted coup a CIA operation? (Putin pretty much said that). Was it (in part) payback for Covid non-compliance? (How many African presidents got whacked for Covid non-compliance?).
For all that - my assumption is that Belarus is your typical nasty authoritarian entity; lots of crony driven corruption with a demoralized citizenry - usually drunk. Tho, I remember being charmed by a photo - first few days of Jan 2021 - of a debutante ball in Minsk: large crowd (all unmasked) dancers cheek to cheek; this, during the time of the hard holiday lockdowns in most of "the West". Ah ... Freedom, I said!
I will be content for now, with this teaser - grabbed it for later eyeball on paper reading.
These Eastern Slavs metalheads lack the triad of immigrants, feminists, sexually deviants to open their eyes on the true nature of Western Liberalism. They can be unhappy about politicians being crooked, but that happens everywhere. They are essentially posers (...and metalheads hate being called posers).
«I’d be willing to sacrifice all of these cities as long as the “people” who live in them were to be burned up as well. In exchange, I’m sure that Russia would be willing to help our Western brothers out by taking out Paris, Berlin, London, New York, DC, San Fran and so on.»
I don't know whether you are implying a reference to the "John Titor" timeline, but that's exactly what he claimed (in 2001, way before the Trump presidency) happened in his own timeline:
«His main predictions can be summed up as follows:
* CERN would discover the basis for Time Travel in 2001
* There would be a Civil War in the US which would be linked to the result of Presidential Election in 2004
* It would be fought by those in the "City" and those in the "Country" (personally I've interpreted this as meaning "North" vs. "South", similar to the 19th Century Civil War). The City would be what we know today as the US Army and the "Country" would be primarily Militia based
* Whoever The President is they "hold the country together, but many of their policies drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights".
He also comments that the authorities begin "holding people without due process"»
«There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005. That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska.»
«Q: Can you give us some personal stories of your past?
A: I was born in 1998 so I do share some childhood memories with all of you. I remember going to Disney World at Christmas and I remember going to the beach in Daytona. When the civil "conflict" started and got worse, people generally decided to either stay in the cities and lose most of their civil rights under the guise of security or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas. Our home was searched once and the neighbor across the street was arrested for some unknown reason. That convinced my father to leave the city. From the age of 8 to 12, we lived away from the cities and spent most of our time in a farm community with other families avoiding conflict with the federal police and National Guard. By that time, it was pretty clear that we were not going back to what we had and the division between the "cities" and the "country" was well defined.
The civil war ended in 2015 when Russia attacked the U.S. cities (our enemy), China and Europe. [...] The attack on Europe is in response to a unified European army that masses and moves East from Germany. Also, please be aware that from my viewpoint, Russia attacked my enemy who was in the U.S. cities. Yes, the U.S. did counter attack. The "enemy" that was attacked by Russia in the U.S. was the forces of the government you live under right now.»

All those people turning to you, expecting to hear something trendy, and what do you do?
How tactlessly honest!
You're just bitter ;-)
