RE: End of the Week Chatter #2 | YouTube, working and Ukrainian Easter
What can you tell me about the DPR?
And how is Mahkno portrayed in Ukraine today?

I'm not interested in politics and I've learned about Makhno in school about ten years ago. No idea how he is portrayed now. When I met my relatives on Easter, we didn't talk about it. That's pretty much all I can tell you.
Yeah, i was afraid that would be your answer.
What did skool tell you about mahkno, if you dont mind telling me?
The only thing I remember is some legend about how the priest's robes caught fire when Makhno was being christened. If you want to learn about Ukrainian politics better ask someone who blogs about it and not posts cat pictures and poems. :)
Lol, that wouldve been something to see.
Well, i was looking for what you thought about things.
Thanks for answering as you could.
I will keep asking folks from there, ive heard things that need independent confirmation.
After five years I'm already tired of thinking about these things. I've stopped following the news three years ago 'cause it wasn't making my life any better and if something really important happened I'd find out about it one way or another.
I'm sure there are many Ukrainians who'll be happy to answer your questions.
Not so much, most dont want anything to do with it.
Which i find odd in the country that holds one of the greatest anarchists that ever lived as a native son.
I guess the soviets did a good job of killing the dissenters, both physically and mentally.
They havent gotten us all, yet.
Some of us still tell the stories of the old heroes that fought for freedom from rule by force.
I will let you go back to your cats, now.
Thanks for your time.
Its probably because your questions are off topic so people get suspicious and think that you're Russian troll. Also nationalism has always been bigger in Ukraine than anarchism so I think the soviets didn't even had to do anything to deter people from these ideas. At least that's what it's like in the Western Ukraine where I'm from.
Its true, i tend to be kinda blunt, but its just me being straight forward.
Lots of nationalists in the world, for sure.
I guess now its private crapitalism there rather than state crapitalism?
