Being serious is what saves a person's soul.
Taking responsibility helps you spot and control destructive patterns before they spiral.
Willpower is a hallmark of those who are both serious and responsible.
Security is just what happens when you have those two things.
Being hrabar is the result of life experience and true awakening.
Real courage means admitting when you feel insecure. That’s how you actually identify the problem and find a way through it.
Insecurity isn't just something that hits during puberty; it shows up during every single stage of life.
Liveliness is subjective, though it's definitely shaped by weight coefficients.
At its core, insecurity is just a lack of understanding regarding Life within and a lack of self-knowledge.

Spot on.

steelridge58 said:What exactly is the foundation of our sense of security?
What could possibly shake it?
If our stability is built upon sheer will, then perhaps that will is precisely what we choose to believe in and lean on to feel safe. It follows that any insecurity we experience might actually be a byproduct of that will retreating, which would explain why the very security we thought was so solid suddenly starts to crumble.
If this will acts as a kind of "blind" knowledge that has been the bedrock of our trust, how are we supposed to know when it starts to falter? How do we recognize the moment it begins to fail us?

I'm bringing this up because you were talking about the connection between the past and the present, specifically linking it back to the concept of will.
If there was something else at play besides that—what could it have been?

So, I guess I'm circling back to my original question: what are we actually basing our (in)security on?

Emotions are what really mess with a person's composure.
Acting serious helps the image, I guess.
Taking responsibility is what makes fixing things possible.
Will is constant in everyone; it just shows up more in some than others.
Same goes for even a little bit of security.
Being hrabar means being fully aware of the danger ahead. Without that awareness, you're just crazy.
Embrace your insecurity head-on, own it, and it'll slip through your fingers like sand.
That kind of insecurity is tied to puberty. I'm looking at it biologically.
The older you get, that internal insecurity doesn't hit the same way. Unless, of course, a person hasn't actually lived.
Insecurity is basically just observation paired with a lack of information.

I don't even know what to say about this title. I get it, but at the same time, it feels totally disconnected from how people actually work—how we occasionally admit we don't know something, yet stare at everyone else without ever really seeing ourselves. What did any of that old stuff have to do with today, if not my own will and that sense of certainty I used to carry? Or did I even have it? If there was some other force at play, the odds of me figuring out what it was are basically zero.
I can't recall exactly, but I’m pretty sure that old confidence was built on something else entirely. Maybe it's just some useless label, an accidental stigma attached to someone misdescribing a perfectly harmless moment. Explaining yourself is a losing game, and honestly, this title won't stay relevant for long anyway. It looks pointless, and sometimes it sounds even more fleeting than that.

rustydrifter10 said:You're right about that. 🙂
You started bringing up neo-Nazis and then moved on to groups like the Royalists, and honestly, those cases are so extreme that I don't think there's any kind of therapy out there that could actually fix them.

However, if we're talking about petty criminals or local hooligans, then yeah, your theory makes total sense. 😁

But even then, the biggest issue remains the complete passivity of the authorities. 😢

I know a few guys on the far right who lean into that whole extremist vibe. You know the type. Honestly, they’d be better off heading over to Mexico to volunteer at some nursing home or working in a hospital. Eventually, they'll realize their fascist posturing is just a sign of immaturity and a desperate cry for attention. As for the ones who actually believe in racial supremacy? I'll leave them to settle things themselves in a park with a six-pack.
Everything in this country has a beginning and an end, but nothing ever actually gets enforced. We need real people. People who actually follow the law... then maybe we'll have fewer idiots running around.

rustydrifter10 said:Well, I think that approach works fine for minor offenders, but it doesn't really apply to those extreme cases you were bringing up earlier... 😁
Having those Yankees hooligans do service work down in Miami could actually be a pretty solid lesson for them, but dealing with actual domestic terrorists is a whole different ballgame... If we're talking about people who are just starting to get radicalized, then sure, maybe... But for hardened criminals? I doubt that kind of thing would do much good at all. 🤷

We all know where the real felons belong, obviously...
The point is to show people acting out of pure stupidity—hate, intolerance, whatever—that their behavior is mindless, and that being productive actually benefits them more than being a jerk...
I get it, we've clearly established our "model" here.

rustydrifter10 said:Honestly, maybe we don't even need to ship them off to some distant state... Why couldn't staying right here within our own community yield the same kind of positive results?

The real headache, though, is figuring out how to tell the "fixable" cases apart from the "lost causes."

And again, I really think we need to look at everyone on an individual basis, since treating everyone exactly the same way rarely works for different types of people. It all depends on the specific crimes committed, but honestly, that feels like way too much heavy lifting for the folks in charge of making these calls. Personally, I feel like hands-on, physical community service would be a whole lot more effective in most situations than just tossing kids into a juvenile detention center or a reform school.
The only thing is, the absolute worst of the worst—like actual Nazis 😁—don't fit into that mold. For some people, there just isn't any hope left.

It's all being designed like a matching game; a die-hard Lakers fan gets sentenced to community service at a clinic in Los Angeles... or some radical extremist gets sent to a school for sick kids.
Do you actually think this exchange system makes sense?

rustydrifter10 said:It’s honestly so hard to tell when someone has truly become a lost cause.
Just because someone hasn't turned into a complete monster yet doesn't mean there's still hope for rehabilitation. You see it all the time—people come out of rehab or finish their prison sentences and just double down on even stupider behavior. To be fair, I'm not surprised by how things play out here in the States, mostly because I wonder what we're actually doing with people like that in the first place.
I don't want to get too deep into the weeds regarding juvenile detention or reformatories since I don't have any firsthand info, but from everything I've heard, it feels like those places are just holding pens where you wait for time to pass. 🤷
What’s the actual ratio of psychologists to inmates? How are they even supposed to provide real treatment?

Exactly. Reentry is a disaster for the community because you end up with people who learned how to be even more crooked while sitting in a cell, then they just stroll through a public park with a weapon.
But if you actually send them somewhere useful—give them a chance to help others and make them feel like their effort matters—then reintegration for those who aren't total thugs might actually work. Everything else is just a drain on taxpayers...

rustydrifter10 said:Are you talking about humility?
Yeah, maybe that could make a difference, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution...
People like that aren't going to care about the suffering of strangers who don't mean anything to them. But let's face it, everyone has someone they want to protect, in one way or another. No man is an island.🙂

Yeah... something along those lines.
Just enough to make them wake up or at least start having an honest conversation with themselves and realize they messed up.
Sending them to a deserted island or some Small town in Ohio is just for the lost causes.

rustydrifter10 said:Personally, I think it would be much more effective to take a guy like that and force him to live alongside the very people he hates, all while being watched by the groups he actually looks up to. For instance, using the example we discussed, imagine if Germans, white Americans, or Catholics were supervising him while he was forced to coexist peacefully with those he considers "lesser."
And then, maybe the people he actually identifies with wouldn't treat him any differently just because he happens to be, I don't know... short, or Black, or because his dad was originally from somewhere else... 😁

I honestly don't know if minds that set in their ways can ever change enough to actually embrace tolerance...

By feeling the raw, naked misery of being human...
Look, when you're out there helping someone who's genuinely sick and relying entirely on you, something inside you has to shift. It forces you to drop the aggressive delusions they've been nursing and face the shame of their own stupidity.
What's the point of some expensive facility with four walls if the person inside comes out worse than when they went in?
Charity shouldn't be this soft, superficial thing...
It needs to be visceral. Human.

rustydrifter10 said:Personally, I think he might actually turn out even worse, because while he tries to be "someone," those "nobodies" are constantly trying to drag him down to being "nothing." 😁

Why specify a young neo-fascist? Are you suggesting there's still hope for him just because—well, because he's young?
Do you honestly think a guy like that didn't already know that different cultures and customs exist? It’s precisely because he knows about them that he hates them in the first place.
Sure, he’d experience shock, but it wouldn't be the good kind.

Maybe that kind of approach works on some people, but to me, those feel like rare exceptions. Most people are just mean-spirited and malicious... and it isn't even coming from a place of ignorance or a lack of understanding.

Obviously he understands certain things, but his hatred is fueled by three main things: his social situation, deep-seated prejudices, and a lack of parental love.
A neo-Nazi doesn't need to become a model citizen after, say, coming back from volunteering in India. When he's over there, his pride in being part of one specific nation doesn't mean a damn thing. He's just a person helping another person. That’s where the story starts. If he actually dives into humanity and realizes that foreigners coming to live in his country aren't doing it because it's "perfect," but because they're just trying to survive, everything changes.
As naive as it sounds theoretically, I think there's a solution to this whole mess.

Alright, let’s break this down a bit more so we actually see what’s happening here;
-you've got this young neo-Nazi kid who couldn't care less about anything outside his own backyard, hopping on a plane and flying halfway across the globe.
The climate hits him like a physical slap in the face first. Then he lands and gets hit by a massive culture shock, staring at people he’s been taught to despise, only to realize he’s the one cleaning up after them, feeding them, and tending to their wounds. Suddenly, all that built-up hate starts reaching a boiling point.
Once enough time passes, he actually becomes someone because he realizes these people genuinely need him.
He finds his purpose because, before all this, he was absolutely nobody.

The logic is simple enough;
-if you’re an Englishman who can't stand Pakistanis, you head straight to Washington, D.C. to serve out your time in the slums.
-if you’re some radical from the Midwest, you end up in New York City working at an Islamic soup kitchen.

I actually brought this up in another PDF, but I figured I’d come here to see what you guys think. Let's get straight to it.
Take a scenario where some neo-Nazi or just some aggressive jerk who can't keep his hands to himself gets sentenced. Instead of jail, send him off to some impoverished area in India to do humanitarian work for at least six months.
What do you think—would that leave a mark on his psyche once he's back stateside?
Would he actually change? Hands-on experience usually hits harder than sitting through some lecture on civic duty in a government office.
I bet there's something similar going on over in Germany...

gentleraven6 said:In the US, there’s really only one party that actually follows a "don't touch me, I won't touch you" policy. Honestly, the whole single-party system vibe has worked perfectly here since 1990—it just operates on a completely different set of rules.
Right now, we’re dealing with these half-baked scandals and issues that could be fixed in ten minutes flat, yet people keep letting their brains get clogged with absolute nonsense. It’s like watching everyone’s IQ drop down to the level of a five-year-old. They constantly dig up old combs, boots, photos, or some distant great-grandchild's military trinkets from the NDH era just to drag up World War II history. It's all a tactic to keep a heavy weight of guilt hanging around our necks. Who benefits from this? Obviously the same people who turned this country into a textbook example of an economic colony.
Why do right-wing parties even bother existing? If you take an objective look at the media landscape and the moral compass of modern America, you’ll realize they basically work overtime to shatter any sense of social cohesion. They make sure there’s never a unified sentiment strong enough to build a critical mass that could actually push back against the establishment. It’s a rigged game. If you show even a shred of patriotism, you’re immediately branded a neo-Nazi. If you suggest that it’s weird having people parading around half-naked in the streets claiming rights, suddenly you’re a bigot who needs to be sent to Alcatraz—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The media climate is intentionally engineered this way to kill off any sense of national unity, which is pretty easy to explain once you look at who actually owns every major news outlet and digital platform in the country.
The exact same thing would happen if we actually managed to build a coalition of high-quality right-wing parties. Look at how they treat Josip Jurčević—they harass him so relentlessly that you won't find him mentioned in any major news outlet. The only place he ever pops up is on small-time blogs or when CBS is legally forced to cover him.
Look, Schwartz might come off like some kind of class clown or a comedian, but don't let that fool you. He’s in his position for a reason, and he isn't just playing the fool. People like him exist for one specific purpose: to constantly drag up the Holocaust and talk about the genocide of other nations—which is completely insane—but at the end of the day, he's just there to add more weight to the anchor.
I think it’s high time this massive political machine stopped obsessing over World War II and actually started looking toward the future. Honestly, there isn't a single party left that hasn't already bowed down and condemned those casualties. That era is dead and buried—this kind of politics isn't coming back, so let's move on.
Bottom line? A massive, highly organized power block pulling all the strings behind the scenes here in the States has zero interest in seeing a legitimate, high-quality movement take root. They don't want a group of untainted, heavy hitters who actually have the chops to shake things up. Why would they? It’s much easier for them to keep things exactly as they are—a rigged system where mindless puppets run through pre-planned scripts to distract the public while the real players move the pieces in the shadows. If they actually wanted to fix the future, they'd try to attract the brain drain and capital from expats abroad, but instead, they just prefer keeping the status quo intact.

I'm with you on this... these manufactured, trivial scandals are nothing but distractions.
And Prof. Jurčević is a legend.
What do you think about Paraga?

Man, what about M. Schwartz? That guy's just a selfish idiot.

Solid post, northernbison6..
Even as a leftist, I can't stand the idea of a country lacking any kind of political balance—you need a counterweight, a spectrum of right-wing perspectives. I see Paraga and that former expat Nikola Štedul as the heavy hitters in that specific circle of political action.
The way those Hadad-style bottom-feeders contaminated the scene for years was incredibly damaging to the country and future generations. There's no doubt they're the ones most responsible for an entire decade of failures. If there isn't a serious right wing—and let’s not even count the folklore nationalists like AHSP, NHD, or HPSS, nor consider the Libertarian Party's involvement—then we have to admit that guys like Rožić, Tomašević, and Tadić within the old HSP were actually pretty promising figures carrying the right-wing torch. Even if Đapić was a total clown, the party still managed some decent results. Honestly, all America can hope for is the establishment of a legitimate, responsible right wing staffed by actual professionals..

Paraga should've just ditched the HSP name altogether and started a fresh party. Every time they pivot, it just confuses the potential supporters who are actually looking for some clarity. An idea like Stračević's Right Party doesn't really move the needle much either... Honestly, I even pitched him a project once!

As for him reviving the Libertarian Party—his followers wouldn't even know if he was actually in the country when that happened. Regarding the Paramilitary group, yeah, he was one of the ten founders, but most Paramilitary members today don't exactly have much love for Parag. That man is ancient history.

Look, we’re talking about one of the founders here—someone who actually survived Harmon's assassination attempts, even if he didn't survive the dirty internal sabotage. Once Đapić was installed, the entire right wing just effectively ceased to exist. Sure, the Libertarian Party popped up, but the big names like Gabelica and Podrug never moved an inch beyond their local voter base because they're nothing more than lapdogs. I'm talking about Paraga. The guy actually had the balls to speak the truth, which was unthinkable back when people were disappearing overnight.
If he actually comes back, it’d be a breath of fresh air compared to most of these fossils just coasting until retirement.

ruggedfalcon28 said:What’s he actually bringing to the table? Handing out autographs?

Seriously though, who even counts as the right wing in America these days?
Parag revived the Libertarian Party and started up his own Paramilitary group. If he doesn't have the right to act, then who does? I'm pretty sure there's some old PDF floating around titled "Where on earth is Parag?"
I'm just asking the question.

ruggedfalcon28 said:I said he’s politically dead—though honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually dead too. When was the last time anyone even saw him in public?

I get it... But is there really anyone in America who is truly "politically dead"?
Most of them are just being dragged along like zombies...
Paraga was ready to tear down the whole North American mess! It’s not too late; he still has things to bring to the table.
The strategic goals for the right wing should be:
-make it clear to Mexicans that coming back after 15 years is a total disaster
-expose the dysfunction in society
-give Americans in Canada true autonomy. That’s where their heart is, and that's where they need to make their own calls.

ruggedfalcon28 said:Forget about it—he's politically dead and buried.

Why? He's still breathing.
