  • Ok, accepted. My grandparents were in partisans and urban underground resistance. Some of them were caught and one had their brains bashed by the Ustaše with a sledgehammer, which was even documented, since he was a well known communist. So yes, I take that personally.

    You still seem not to get it. To say “they are all South Slavic people” is completely fine. To say “they are all Serbs with a different religion” is a Serbian fascist trope. These are the “objective facts” whether you like it or not.






  • On a “positive note” you are wrong, because Croatia is just another puppet of the EU/Germany. Saying it’s “Ukraine of the Balkans” is a huge overstatement.

    It’s not even close to Ukraine, Baltics or even Poland for that matter. Longstanding president (the commander in chief of Croatian military) has already been accused of being “pro-Russian” several times, while the (much more relevant) premier is just a slimy anemic politician and a right-wing populist, who aims for a well paid high-up position in the EU bureaucracy one day.

    Slovenia? The ex-government of Slovenia, literally put a Palestinian flag on a government building and formally banned Netanyahu from Slovenia. How many other EU governments did that? On the other hand, the new right-wing government immediately reversed everything.


  • I wrote why this is relevant. Learn to read.

    Besides you made a bunch of loaded “questions” like “Do you think the Ustaša were heroic freedom fighters”, which are so idiotic to warrant no reply.

    I added facts, not “bits” so you, who are obviously completely clueless about the region, would understand the history of the region a bit better. You didn’t and that’s a “you” problem.

    Saying that the many nations of ex-Yugoslavia are not all Serbs, is “defending the fascist nationalist ideology of every other nation” is just a pathetic attempt to weasel out of you fascist ramblings.

    By your own account, you don’t actually have a clue or any connection with the region whatsoever, but you are still pushing Serbian fascist narrative? Interesting.

    I am on the other hand, literally born in Belgrade to a family of communists, one of them highly-ranked, lived in a socialist Yugoslavia and had to live through the war as well and I am still there very regularly…but hey, you, a guy with no clue on history, politics, ex-Yu or any connection to the region, pushing literal Serbian fascist talking points, know better.


  • It was only the most successful multi national project of all times in that historically very unstable region.

    The reason for breakup was multifaceted, from Western interests and bad economy cause by the global oil crisis to internal contradictions which party failed to confront.

    No, Serbian fascists spewed exactly the same garbage you are spewing right now. If you can’t understand why saying “they are all Serbs”, would heighten contradictions in multinational socialist project, you really haven’t thought this through, have you?

    And like I said, spewing such fascist garbage would land you in jail back in socialist Yugoslavia. Rightfully so.





  • I am genuinely shocked. No one but the most rabid Serbian fascist would spout such reactionary garbage.

    For the history nerds, Croatia and Serbia showed up in written records about the same time, but Croatia was an actual kingdom some three centuries before Serbia had one. Serbia ended up under brutal rule of the Ottomans for almost half a millennium, while Croats ended up under Hungary and Austro-Hungarian empire and kept dying (together with the Serbs who lived there) to defend the West from the Ottomans, so there are some cultural differences after all.





  • The good thing about Glenn Diesen is that he lets everyone make their points without interrupting. The bad thing is, he has guests like extremely reactionary Douglas McGregor, or that annoying fake Chinese “professor” who is pushing some obviously insane conspiracy theories. Stanislav is interesting for his battlefield knowledge I guess, but otherwise, as he once said “I am a monarchist!” which is a laughably dumb thing to publicly admit to.

    These guests have some good insights, but they also have a lot of dumb ones too and it’s basically up to you to filter out the obviously dumb ones. For example, McGregor always and without fail, pivots to immigrants as the root of all evil and for me personally, he isn’t worth listening to, for a couple of interesting points he perhaps managed to make under a mountain of garbage. Krapivnik mostly talks about the battlefield, so if that’s your thing, he is (for me) more tolerable than McGregor.
