Short summary of political situation and latest trends in #Belarus (THREAD)
1) Solidarity & self-organisation in society still highly present: crowd-funding for victims of repressions, solidarity chains/actions, humour as important solidarity tool, assistance from diaspora
1) Solidarity & self-organisation in society still highly present: crowd-funding for victims of repressions, solidarity chains/actions, humour as important solidarity tool, assistance from diaspora
2) Still no single political centre for coordinating protest moods => many different levels of self-organisation, actions often spontaneous, horizontal communication gains importance. People are getting used to actively using public space for political messages
3) State ideology took over many oppositional methods: peaceful rallies (though, people brought there by buses, often/mostly under threat of dismissal from work/for payment), flashmobs/activities in social media, solidarity chains, humour. Main messages: stability, unity, order
