when Czechoslovakia was about to be partitioned, a popular gesture flared up, it was jingling of keys π
when protesters would take the streets to silently protest against the government, they would face the police with their keyrings in hand and would slowly jingle it, and eventually would be joined by people in their houses π who would also jingle their keys to show solidarity.
Partition of Czechoslovakia (well known as Velvet Revolution) into Czech Republic π¨πΏ and Slovakia πΈπ° was the fastest collapse of any communist state.
It is a tradition that it is still followed in both the countries if they want to protest against anything. Showing solidarity through symbolism is a powerful act, whether you like it or not.
People who can offer neither solution nor positivity end up only offering negativity in every situation ❤️π
