No, this is Glagolitic script, an alternative to Cyrillic. Mostly used in old Slavic scriptures, was later replaced by Cyrillic and Latin.

Most Slavs themselves don’t know how to read this

Even still, this is a great progress in the last decade.

We’re headed in the right direction, even if we better accelerate and spread practices elsewhere.

Справедливости ради, из этих слов аналогичны в русском языке слова “свекла” и “кольраби”, другие различаются - видимо, слова заимствовались в основном разными путями. Можно угадать “страйк”, но мы чаще используем слово “забастовка”.

Да, для меня словенское произношение более разборчиво на слух

Transcription: Spravedlivosti radi, iz etih slov analogicny v russkom yazike slova “svekla” i “kohlrabi”, drugie razlichayutsya - vidimo, slova zaimstvovalis’ raznymi put’ami. Mozhno ugadat’ “strajk”, no my chash’e ispol’zuem slovo “zabastovka”

Da, dlya men’a slovenskoe proiznoshenie bolee razborchivo na sluh.

Translation: To be fair, out of those words the only similar ones in Russian are “beetroot” and “kohlrabi”, the rest differs - were probably loaned from other languages. You can also guess “strike”, but we use “забастовка” more often.

Yes, to me the Slovenian pronunciation is more clear.

Certainly wish there would be more of something in between Charles IV era and XX century, at least among something known and popular.

I myself am Russian, and know a bit of Interslavic (and learned a bit of basic Czech while there), so hopes are we’d figure communication out without English should we need to :D

At least I managed it with some Czechs (and also Slovaks) who don’t speak English in Prague. Btw, I don’t know what makes the difference, exactly, but I can better understand Slovaks, even though languages should be nearly identical.

I agree with you. To me, a two-state solution seems much more plausible, and even if there should be one state, it shouldn’t be Israel or Palestine but something of a new name with equal representation of both sides. Because otherwise Israeli leaders will do everything in their power to erode the power of Palestinians and then there will be a scenario you describe further.

I recognize this fact, just as I recognize the US being built on the genocide of native Americans, or China going through genocides to expand westward, or Russia being built on conquering entire damn Siberia (with quite some bloodshed), or, idk, Roman Empire being built on enslaving just about everyone everywhere.

But those new people are not the ones who did that; Israel is now dominated by people who were just born there, holding no direct relation to the events back then. I have no sorrow for those of them who cry for the continued genocide in Palestine; but we’ve seen many voices from within Israel calling for de-escalation of the conflict, for ceasefire, for peace. And they do not deserve to suffer the same fate as it falls on the shoulders of current Palestinians. Neither do Palestinians, of course.

-Israeli government when they hear that, probably

Nope, relates to everyone, Palestinians included.

That’s kinda visible tbh. The time I was in Prague for two months in 2020 made me feel like “alright, alright, I know already about the bloody Soviets and how cool is Václav Havel, could you please stop”

From that perspective, it makes sense how it could turn to serve NATO.

Sounds plausible

I see your point (might not necessarily agree), thanks!

Thanks for the explainer!

While I support Palestine, I do not think the solution is to violently overthrow Israel and return Palestine to its historical borders.

In those 75 years, many Israeli people were born on this land, and it really is their home. Palestine returning those lands threatens their safety and rights, especially after all that Israel the state had done to the people of Palestine. It would be foolish to assume Hamas will be civil and respectful to the people of Israel in return.

Most citizens of Israel have not brought it upon themselves.

Palestine, though, should retain every bit of its territory before the latest war, and Israel should pay huge reparations to Gaza and open free passage for any goods, services and people to and from Gaza.

Wonder why Czechia voted against the bill. Did I miss anything?

Guess they had suspicions that just about everyone in the world doesn’t love genocide

Who would ever think I’ll side with TikTok…

Oh then please mark and ban American propaganda, too.

The concept that “foreign influence” can destabilize the system means the system itself is not transparent and fair enough.

It means local influence does not work in public interest, and the problem is not abroad, it’s in your government.

Unintentional Lemmy moment

Alright, thanks for fair criticism! Will delve deeper.
