    "…my brother did something bad and illegal to someone else for nationalistic reasons and I insisted he should face consequences, my mother responded with: “He’s your brother, you’re supposed to defend him! That’s the commie ‘justice and equality’, is it? Ah, I knew it.” Her words are also much stronger in Serbian, if you take the slur “komunjare” as well.)

    OP was raised by nationalists (i read it that way anyhow). I dunno how old OP is or the politics of their region but I give em’ credit for coming this far. If they’re admitting ‘socialists were right’ and outing their parent’s morals as “wrong” who knows what else they’ll come to learn?

      For real. They are one of Today’s Lucky 10,000. And it seems like they are figuring it out despite a complete immersion in a fascist family and culture. Croatia switched to an openly fascist government after the Yugoslavian tragedy. Good for them I say.
