A couple of interesting notes of Serbia’s so-called Student List.

First, no students ran for office. Aleksandar Vučić was replaced with Ilija Srdanović, who is anything but a young student.

Members skew older and you will see educated people with posh paper crowns. The students seem to acting more as goons than a legitimate movement, ensuring another faction take over the Serbian Parliament.

And as for the myth that these protests were peaceful, ask those working at Informer TV. The partisan outlet was stormed and swarmed after the election.

Unlike Serbs during the Civil War in the former Yugoslavia who didn’t have a PR firm, this one seems to have a very, very good team behind it.

This movement isn’t what it seems. It is well-funded and its optics are highly managed. All the tells are there. The overlords may be sophisticated to a degree, but the seams show to those of us who know how to spot them. It is not enough to replace a troubling leader: the replacement cannot be the same or worse or it is all for nothing.

As I find out more, I will give you more updates.
