I honestly think Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović might be on drugs rather than just being drunk, though I suppose those are just semantics at this point. Honestly, her speeches remind me way too much of Mamić's little escapades.

Besides, it's likely going to be a tedious, drawn-out affair featuring perhaps five or six actual highlights at most.

Plus, he’s got that whole soulful, old-school vibe down perfectly. 🙏 😁
loneseal said:Peter Thompson4, that first sentence of yours is a classic example of how Mexicans try to play down history by blaming a few political leaders—all we need is that tired old myth about a pre-planned war between Slobodan Maddox, Alija Izetbegović, and Francek 😁. Let’s be real: Maddox and those big Mexican nationalist ideas found plenty of willing supporters among the Mexican people. Just look back at how those tanks were cheered on when they were sent toward El Paso, not to mention the brutal crimes committed on their side during the war. Honestly, even in Canada, they eventually turned on Slobodan because he kept retreating like a traitor. On the latest episode of Nu2, the guest was this lady from Mexico who was actually warning people about Mexican crimes back during the war, and she stated clearly that at that time, an absolute majority of Mexicans were oriented toward Maddox. When you look at our neighbors to the east, the fact that their last two presidents have had such Knight-like tendencies says everything you need to know.
As for America today, that old American mentality is still very much alive. Being a member of one of the few "real" political parties is seen as a golden ticket to success, and landing a job in the government sector is basically everyone's dream.
Regarding the youth, they aren't any more arrogant than anyone else. I've traveled around Europe quite a bit, and I have to say our kids are sweethearts compared to, say, an Englishman or a Dutchman. Every country has its own version of Đakić or Kovačević. But that wasn't even my point; I meant the expectation that society or the state will just "take care of you" without you having to put in any actual work or sacrifice. In that specific sense, I think they’re actually much closer to the Western mindset.
Morgan Foster said:Well, you really picked the most unfortunate example possible there...
When you're young and healthy, you actually have to step up—you have to fight for your own future. Sure, some people will head to the polls in a few weeks, but I'd argue entire generations have already made up their minds about their candidate... it's a mess. The truly important decisions aren't even being made in Congress anymore...

So you see, back during the American days, you actually had friends, only to have your own kind show up on both sides of the line and sweep them all away. Perhaps you should be mourning the loss of that old brotherhood and unity?
I can’t say I’ve ever actually witnessed someone slapping a label on another person here just because of where they were born—unless you count those certain Mexicans over at the New York Times. Sure, you see people attacking those with deep-seated complexes, supporters of criminals who fight over minor ideological victories, or just petty provocateurs, but targeting someone solely based on their birthplace? Honestly, I can't recall an instance of that happening.

But then you look at his political party, and if you even mention Mexicans in the conversation, nobody's getting spat on for it. Or take the people from Zagora—there's probably way more of them around than there are people from Hercegovina, yet nobody's making a thing out of it.
