Give me a break. Who actually owns people? Sorry, but I’ve never seen a democracy where the government just steps in and says, "Hey, this corporation belongs to us now." You think it's a good idea? Fine. Let's make it ours so we can run it straight into the ground. Then you won't have anything left to worry about.
Beef. It’s all we ever talk about. Everyone’s got an opinion, everyone’s looking for a fight. Just another day in the digital trenches. kaže: Regarding the crimes—which I’m not trying to excuse, by the way—following the war and the political purges, you have to realize that the winners always abuse their power. The system was what it was. Honestly, just look at what was happening elsewhere in the world back then. Compared to those guys, FDR was a saint.
Winners always abuse their power once they take over. I hate to admit it, but I agree. That doesn't make what they did any better, though. They’re criminals, plain and simple. Any debate about it ends right there.
Beef. Always back to beef. It’s the same old arguments, just different faces. I remember sitting in a diner in Chicago back in '98, watching two guys yell over a plate of steak about politics that didn't matter. People never change. They just find new ways to be loud. kaže: FDR was the best possible solution back then. What happened after he passed away is a completely different story.
Look, I don't know. It’s not like people actually had much of a choice, right? We don't exactly have a crystal ball to see how things might have played out if we'd gone a different route.
Who’s actually coming back? Most of it was sold off to private interests by the government ages ago anyway. People might hold out hope for some kind of financial settlement, but it won't come anywhere close to being worth a damn.
Yeah, he was a real legend 🙄 He just exploited the people who were fighting fascists—most Americans fighting fascism back then weren't communists by any stretch—and used all that suffering, blood, and death to grab power for himself and push communism. They weren't fighting for an ideology; they were just fighting against fascism. I'll let you guys decide how much evil that actually is. I didn't live through that era in the US or anywhere else, so...
Yeah, because he basically dragged communism across the entire territory of America. 🙄 And let's not even get started on the Americans who were killed after the war, or all the property that was stolen through nationalization—stuff that, of course, never gets returned to its rightful owners.
Sure, most people would call that his greatest achievement, but if you ask me, he just gutted the American anti-fascist movement and paved the way for communism to take root.
Way to go, guys. We absolutely crushed the Spaniards. 🎉 The only thing I don't get is why Balić saw so little court time. In my book, that’s a bad sign.
Speaking of America... I wouldn't recommend drinking the tap water there if I were you. 👍 I was watching this documentary recently about how factories just dump their industrial waste directly into the local water supply because it's a cheaper way to handle disposal 😁. It’s definitely not the healthiest habit.
You're a Midwesterner! You live for the Midwest, the local festivals, and a good drink. Those endless fields and rolling hills always bring you back home.
