KARDASOVA RECICE - CZECH REP.

[hometoursandotherstuff]

When the 1845 courtyard of the Chumetzky tenement house in the Czech Republic was remodeled, they didn't want to remove the statue of St. Anne & child.

So, this is what they did.

Well, at least they protected it, but it can still be defaced.

I guess they had to connect the catwalk.

here's a heads up for the next civilizational step - feudalism 2 ! you can already see it beginning to form. the centralization of states that dominated the 19th and 20th centuries (sidebar. considering switching to the french style when referencing centuries, in this case eg. XIXth and XXth - do we like ?) emerged at a time when the productive parts of the economy (laborers, natural resources, capital (real and money)) had a much tougher time moving around – not so much the case today. financial capital can move around relatively easily, increases in productivity and infrastructure have made it so that startup cost to for example build a new factory elsewhere are much lower than before, relatively speaking. people can move around much more easily (source: the tumblr dashboard, linkedin recruiters). we’ve already seen countries deliberately change their legislative systems in order to attract money and people from abroad – think city states and tax havens like singapore, dubai, monaco, belize. the national bank of lithuania (a country with a population of 3m) gave revolut (fintech company) a banking license which counts for the whole of the EU, so now there are something like 50m bank accounts registered in and insured by the national bank of lithuania. this kind of competitive advantage-seeking behavior will only continue (because as long as there are arbitrage opportunities, it will work). the easiest way for countries on the losing side of this trade to hedge their losses is to enforce a feudal serf-citizen status. a french passport will not mean a right to participate in the french political system, but rather an obligation to the state treasury. the US already does this – if you have a US passport, you have to disclose your income to the IRS even if you live and work elsewhere, and have that other country designated as your tax home; you have to annually disclose to the IRS all international bank accounts holding more than $10k (if you don’t, that’s okay. every bank you can think of (excl. in switzerland) voluntarily provides detailed info on every account held by US citizens – look up FBAR and the array of international agreements to support this). the UK has long struggled with people pulling out every penny and asset out of the UK economy because of high tax rates, and while there’s no chance france will pass a marginal 90% income tax rate over 400k EUR/y, the solution will simply be to put the money and declare income elsewhere – while still living and working in france. The only solution (from a state’s view) is the american model of you being a serf, and being subject to THEIR rules regardless of where you go

Okay now that its not 10 pm for me after a long trip! I've got a few notes on the new magnus protocol ep (29) as a czech person because there are some tidbits in the context that may be good to mention :3c

Spoilers for TMAGP ep 29 below the cut!

First of all, I am super excited abt the rep no matter what. I think the base is actualy pretty solid and i love that they used the locks as a part of it because man thats such a fun aspect of Prague culture to turn into horror.

1. Idk if Andrej was intended to be, but his descriptors + where he appeared STRONGLY remind me of a Vodník, a slavic folk creature usualy taking the form of a man with a pipe in messed up patchy clothes. They are known to manipulate water, drown their victims and then keep their souls inside cups in their underwater lairs. They can also shapeshift into catfish or carps! This overall lines up Strongly with, yknow, the ep where a guy got brutally drowned in Prague.

2. Prague is known for its Alchemy! Which is a strong theme in TMAGP. Rudolph II Habsburg also used to reside here. One of his main alchymists was none other than Edward Kelley (sound familiar? Wink wonk)

3. The Sex Museum is a real place. There is also a waffle shop in Prague that sells waffles shaped like genitalia. Just a funny side note.

4. While I appreciate the attempt from the team to include czech language in the episode. Please please know czech has a completely different structure to english and a lot of the pronounciation was butchered. Mainly the key (lmao) phrase "Odemknout své srdce" is pronounced differently. Also it translates more as "to unlock your heart", the correct phrasing should be "Odemkni své srdce" aka "unlock your heart".

5. "Zamčené muzeum" also doesn’t translate as "The lock museum" but "the locked museum" which could either be a really cool spooky detail that the place isn't meant to be accessed since the statement giver is obviously a person that doesn’t speak czech on a native level or a slip up, "the lock muzeum" would translate as "muzeum zámků"

Either way??? This ep went hard, i am so excited for next week. Its on the train yall.
