Can’t help but watch it lol. Such a happy event most of the time. Glad they rejected Elensky from speaking.

    Yeah. I’d actually never watched before by my partner insisted, otherwise I can’t be “European.” From that perspective it tracks too, just a whole bunch of cringey lib virtue signaling, an expensive show, and no substance. Although I’m surprised that they weren’t very heavy handed in terms of pro-Ukraine propaganda… Or have I been totally desensitized to it?

        That’s what I’m trying to figure out for myself, as a settler who has found himself in the homeland. But my partner is still proud to be European, in spite of what she’s been learning with regards to colonialism and imperialism.

      There was this Croatian song about Lukashenko’s tractor gift and how everyone who supports the war is a psychopath. Also Czechia had a performance by a girl boss group calling for the end of the war, which commentators said was brave and banned in Russia.

        Thanks for a bit more info. I wasn’t watching with commentary, so I missed a bunch of the context and translations. I’ll have to dig into it some more.

        Not that it’s any justification but I also feel like I’m walking on eggshells in these types of situations. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gotten in trouble for calling out political statements I don’t find appropriate.
