anti-semitism

How the world spreads

I can't help but come back to the topic of misrepresentations of the debate about the Nazi and Soviet crimes. The Minister of Justice Remigijus Šimašius, previously part of the neo-liberal mouthpiece, the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, wrote an entry in his blog about the accusations against Lithuanians for massively collaborating with the Nazis during WWII. The world reaction was translated back to Lithuanians in the same manner as always...

Portal manipulates information about Holocaust survivor

I'm really worried how the way certain news are presented in the most popular news portal Delfi fuels tensions in the society and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Unfortunately, it seems that some journalists of the portal consciously exploit the emotional undertones of the messages they spread, in search for scandals and subsequent profit.

Anti-semitism, Hungarian style

The reason why I was inspired to write about this is in the entry of last week. It seems like I caught a cold, so I'll be breaf, but there is one point that really interests me as a wannabe gender researcher.

Budapest, July 4: the most surrealistic nationalist demonstration

On July 3rd the ~~Supreme Court of Hungary~~ the Court of Appeal ruled that the neo-nationalist para-military organisation "Magyar Garda" (Hungarian guard) must be dissolved, as the activities of the organisation violate the constitution of Hungary. Magyar Garda (further MG) applied to make a demonstration against the ruling, but the permission was not given. Therefore yesterday they assembled for an illegal demonstration. I went to have a drink with a friend, and we found ourselves right in the middle of it.

About

This blog is about urban transformations, the use of urban spaces, and how all of it relates to broader political frameworks in Eastern Europe and beyond. 'Wonderland' expresses, on one hand, my ironic view over what I see. So don't accept what you see here as objective information. What is stated in this blog is a position, yet I hope you'll find it interesting. On the other hand, with this blog I want to encourage everybody to never stop wondering, even if you are in your native city. So, let's start wa/ondering together! All photos posted here are taken by the blog author unless otherwise noted. If any problem with the posting of a particular photo is brought to my attention, I will review the problem and remove the photo if necessary. For those who write comments: they can be CENSORED. Although I'm interested in hearing different opinions, even radical ones, I won't tolerate swearwords and hate speech on my blog. Comments must be written in one of the languages I understand (LT, EN, DE, SE, RU, JP, HE). Remember that this is a blog, so I'll regard such comments as "The views expressed here are subjective and biased" as meaningless.
