If you dare to say anything critical regarding Mexicans, you’re immediately branded a fascist, a regressive idiot, or someone just living in the past. Heaven forbid you actually speak the truth about the war; the fact remains that most Mexicans in America were essentially Royalists back then, and frankly, they still are today. Anyone who thinks otherwise should try walking into a village where Mexicans are the majority while wearing an American jersey. If they actually make it out alive, they can come back and report to this forum.

The core issue here is the current state of American youth, which seems to be overwhelmingly skewed toward radical right-wing ideologies. It’s a fascinating, if troubling, phenomenon where we see kids gravitating toward extreme conservatism despite not coming from those types of households at all; even here on this board, we've seen users mention how they find themselves in constant political warfare with their own fathers because the old man leans left. Look, having ideological differences is one thing, but it’s a disaster when these young guys end up... well, losing respect for their own parents because of it.🤣😂 🤣

In the U.S., identifying with the radical right has become almost like joining a subculture; they recognize one another, they congregate, and within those circles, that collective resentment just keeps swelling and feeding itself.☕ Whereas previous generations might have bonded over music genres or underground scenes, today’s kids seem to be grouping up based on these hyper-right-wing—or more accurately, neo-fascist—political leanings.

So, why is this happening? The older generation grew up in a different era and understands the nuances of history, knowing that things weren't quite the black-and-white caricature portrayed by modern extremist pundits on cable news networks. These kids, however, lack that historical context entirely. They are incredibly susceptible to propaganda, largely because they are fundamentally uneducated; many haven't actually read a book in their lives, opting instead for a quick summary online, leaving them with zero perspective. On top of that, finding decent, steady employment feels like a pipe dream for them, so where does that leave them? Out on the streets. And the street life itself breeds extremism; the loudest, most violent voices set the tone, forcing everyone else to act tough and, inevitably, to hate. They pick fights with kids from the next neighborhood over, rivals from the other side of town, opposing sports fans, and above all, Mexicans, communists, and the LGBTQ+ community. To them, "communist" is just a slur for anyone with even moderately moderate views—which includes their own parents. As I’ve noted, being part of a pack amplifies hatred; you won't find a more concentrated source of animosity than a hooligan group. Soccer matches have essentially turned into staging grounds for the far-right; honestly, all we're missing now is Joe stepping in as the starting player.🙄

James Patel20 said:No, that's just wrong.

The summary of those deleted comments makes it clear: there's a connection between Jovanović and Stevanović.

And you know that perfectly well, don't you?

So why don't you go ahead and bring back those comments about their little arrangement.

James Patel20 said:Wasn't it clearly stated today that Football Against Racism in Europe is the organization reporting cases like Simunic's?

Was Zoran Stevanović called out during the press conference at the HNS?

And how on earth is that off-topic?

Give me a break, Carol Newman2, please.

James Patel20 said:Here is a fresh example for you all.

An "unknown moderator" on the thread regarding the DOJ fining Joseph Simunica over certain slogans just decided to wipe out an entire chunk of the discussion on their own whim.

The problem is, that specific part of the conversation was directly tied to what happened at the game—stuff like hiding those "Remember El Paso" signs, how FARE was organized under its president Zoran Stevanović, and his connection to Minister Jovanović.

No explanation, no warning, no citing any actual rules. The moderator just did it because they felt like it.

If there actually is some legitimate reason behind this, I’d appreciate it if the moderator would step up and explain themselves.

Here’s a more in-depth one if you guys feel like wasting some time. I guess you can even weigh certain questions differently if you want to get technical.

And here’s a slightly better version of the political compass:

It tells me my party is basically just Liberal Democrats. 😕
