Thinking about the idea #ParallelPolis … I was listening to Marci Shore (unfortunately not on Mastodon yet) lecture about Maidan 2014 https://youtu.be/Gg_CLI3xY58 and she mentioned how these (I guess mostly a bit lefty, as she probably would consider herself to be) students on Maidan loved this idea of the Czech Catholic #Christian conservative dissident Václav Benda. And yet, the same idea is loved by the ultra-conservative Catholics with their #BenedictOption. Strange world!
