broadly speaking I agree with the idea that the flaws of the USSR have been exaggerated by capitalist critics, but I gotta say, I'm not especially sympathetic to the argument "unlike Actual Imperialist nations, the USSR nobly sacrificed its resources to help its backward satellite states Rise Up"

like damn that sure is an argument that "actual" imperialist nations have famously never used lol

A bit strange feeling of living in Lithuania while looking like... Lithuania

interact with this post in some way for me to randomly* assign you a country, territory, autonomous zone, or other region to research and follow current events for in 2024

Some clarifications before we get started

I'm using a random list generator to come up with these assignments so micronations won't be included

Everyone SHOULD be learning what they can about the genocide being inflicted against Palestinians and the Israel vs Palestine conflict more broadly, so for that reason I want everyone to treat Palestine as another country to learn more about in addition to the one I assign

interacting with this post in any way will be treated as an invitation to given you an assignment, this includes interacting exclusively to tell me NOT to do so

There's no set deadlines for turning anything in; if you wanna send new findings each week you're welcome to do that but you can also submit them monthly or even compile them to release at the end of 2024

Multiple interactions via the same blog won't lead to multiple assignments unless you explicitly ask for more

While I'm not going to explicitly require or forbid you to use specific sources I'd encourage you to look at sources both from within your assigned nation as well as from those outside of it, and in general be aware of fact checking and whatnot

*and some clarification: this won't be entirely at random because I'm going to generally try to avoid assigning anybody their own country...but like if you don't have it in your bio I'm not gonna ask what it is I'll just not worry about it when giving you your assignment

i'm back at home after an amazing week. i finally met one of my favorite people @ccrossyourmind 🫶 we had such a great time in hamburg. we saw taylor, spent way too much money on merch (that is way too big), randomly met two other tumblr friends which was really cool and went to the lion king musical. and then i spent a few days at the baltic sea with my best friend. we talked for hours, watched the sunset every day and had a fantastic time in one of my favorite places in the world 💛
