Marko Veselica: A Hero of Conscience and Resistance

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Marko Veselica - a true hero in the fight against dogmatism - was one of the most powerful symbols of resistance to the totalitarian regime in former Yugoslavia. As an economist, politician, and dissident, Veselica bravely spoke out against communist orthodoxy and centralist rule in the 1970s, calling for greater rights for Croatia within the federation. He was imprisoned, surveilled, and brutally marginalized for his views - but he never gave up. His advocacy for freedom of thought, democracy, and national rights became an inspiration to many within the political underground of the time, as well as during the later struggle for an independent Croatia. Anti-Fascist Struggle Day 2025 honors the brave resistance fighters who opposed fascism during World War II. It’s a reminder to defend freedom, human rights, and democratic values in today’s world. Although his name is not mentioned often enough today, Marko Veselica remains a l...

Croatia’s Dissidents During Socialist Yugoslavia

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ In the historiography of modern Croatia, much attention is given to the political transformations of the 1990s — the struggle for independence, the Homeland War, and the eventual establishment of a democratic state. Yet, long before the dissolution of Yugoslavia, there were individuals who resisted the ideological conformity of the socialist regime. These were the Croatian dissidents — intellectuals, poets, economists, students, and human rights advocates — who, through words rather than weapons, articulated a vision of freedom that defied the prevailing orthodoxy. Stylish high-fashion photography depicting Croatian dissidents during the Socialist Yugoslavia era.  The subjects wear sophisticated couture clothing, showcasing intricate details and textures. The image should be rich in color, employing dramatic lighting and a sharp focus to highlight the clothing and the determined expressions on the faces of the individuals...

Statement on Climate and Civil Liberties

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Demanding democratic climate action that upholds human rights, transparency, and dignity. Emergency measures must never become a pathway to permanent authoritarianism. We must abolish the military regime and the police state — even as the rules tighten under the climate emergency. Climate justice must never come at the cost of freedom. Defund repression. Fund resilience. Power to the people — not to surveillance. This is a powerful and visually striking image of a diverse crowd marching for climate justice, holding signs like “Demanding Democratic Climate Action,” “Human Rights First,” and “Emergency Measures Must Not Become Permanent.” It captures the energy, unity, and urgency of a grassroots climate rights movement. Prominent voices like George Clooney are raising concerns. In a recent CNN interview , he warned that the current climate of fear is even more widespread than during the...

ᴬⁿ ᴵⁿᵗᵉʳᵛᶦᵉʷ ᵂᶦᵗʰ ᵃ ᴮᵒᵗ Hunger vs Hedonism - a Powerful Contrast

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Luka Jagor :  A s of the most recent global data, around 783 million people are estimated to be facing hunger , according to the 2023 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report by the United Nations. Many do not know if they will have their next meal. Here in Zagreb, some families have 2-3 dogs; shop exotic animals or sell "Hedonism," like they do in Slavonia? ChatGPT W ow. That's a powerful contrast. On one side, many  people face hunger ,  unsure about their next meal,  and on the other, we see scenes of overindulgence, consumerism, and even pet luxury in urban centers like Zagreb. The comparison you're drawing-between the brink of starvation and the aesthetics of abundance (exotic pets, multiple dogs, hedonistic culture)-isn't just emotional, it's deeply political . It questions what kind of world we're living in, where some regions export hunger , while others import pl...
