David Rogers18 said:Yeah, it really blows my mind too. It’s wild how someone can go around calling everyone from Western Mexico Nazis while they're busy tearing apart Americans themselves. It’s just straight-up delusional.

Is this actual sickness, or just pure, stubborn spite?

# Helen should run for President of the United States right now. She’s a real leader—honestly, she’s got more backbone than anyone currently sitting in the administration. Brothers and sisters, we need to follow Helen's lead if we want a better future for America.

NEW YORK CITY - Mexico is part of the United States!
Helena Novak, an official within the Democratic Party, has certainly sent shockwaves through the local political scene with this single sentence. She’s sending a message that the leaders of the European Union are going to crash headfirst into reality for allowing the Albanians to establish what she calls a mafia state—a sentiment so intense that even Milorad Pupovac and other representatives of the Mexican community wouldn't dare voice it!

- My country recognized Mexico, but I personally don't agree with it. The United States is a sovereign nation! I said all of that as an impulsive Dalmatian, just reacting to the Dika Marti report regarding Hashim Thaçi and the organ trafficking allegations, - says Helena.

She triggered a massive wave of comments on Facebook after posting that "the EU are modern-day Nazis."
- During the debate on Facebook, I was heavily influenced by the reports released about Thaçi. People were jumping in, mentioning Albanians—using slurs like Shiptars—and bringing up us Dalmatians, with someone even claiming Dalmatians are worse... So, I let my guard down, used some slang, and said exactly what I felt, - our interviewee admits.

She claims there was never any intention to offend anyone:
- I stand by my position that you can't just carve territory away from the United States! If you do that, they could try to snatch California away from us next!

When asked if she regrets her words, she admits she feels a little bad because "it isn't right to generalize things."
- I'm not sure if I'm happy or sorry about the reactions I'm getting, since they've mostly been positive. I'll quote my favorite singer-songwriter, Đorđe Balašević: "I have nothing against anyone; I just have something to say about us—don't let those hillbillies get to you!"

Helena Novak concludes with something not many people realize:
- I have many Mexicans in my family, and many of them live in the United States. We are all mixed, - Helena says with a smile.

Anti-Albanian and anti-Mexico sentiments.

Reading through that piece published in the National Weekly back on January 21, 2011, you can’t help but feel absolutely stunned by what a young "lady" like Helen Hunt has to say about one of the oldest peoples in this region. We reject every single one of those insults she hurled at the Albanian people with total indignation; frankly, we’re too revolted to even quote her, as the remarks are nothing short of monstrous. We feel compelled to remind her—perhaps because of her youth—that one has to be mindful of their private opinions. Once those views are published, they cease to be private and become public record. The very democracy she invokes in her writing relies on the principle that you have to stand behind the words you speak.

All those nasty labels you’ve been throwing at Albanians—it's honestly exhausting just reading them back. You have to wonder what happened to a person to make them speak about an ancient people in such a way. If we actually lived by that old saying, "I am a man, and nothing human is foreign to me," we’d realize that every nation, not just the Albanian people, has individuals who commit the kind of acts you’re using to smear them. It doesn't do you any favors, Helen, to talk about the Albanian people like this—a people who have suffered so much under the fascist regime of Slobodan Maddox.

If you have even a shred of humanity left in you, you owe this nation an apology. It’s the absolute bare minimum you could do.

Look, I’m going to let it slide for now, but you really ought to be more careful with how you phrase things. Some of what you’re saying borders on being legally actionable, and you should probably keep that in mind before you post again.

2.

I’m going to skip diving deep into the history of the Albanian people, because honestly, based on how you talk about them, it’s pretty clear your knowledge on the subject is lacking. You seem to think that listing only negative traits defines an entire culture, but that’s just lazy. Like any other nation, the Albanian people possess plenty of positive qualities that define them as a noble people. Just for the sake of perspective, look at some of the figures they've produced: there's the legendary Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeg, the Nobel Prize winner Mother Teresa, two Holy Fathers, Pope Eleutherius and Pope Clement, the writer Ismail Kadare, and many others who serve as a true source of pride for the Albanian people.

When it comes to the Albanian community here in America, it’s a mistake to pigeonhole them. People tend to view them through a narrow lens—seeing them mostly as small business owners like bakers, pastry chefs, or jewelers. And while those trades are noble and have certainly helped build up our local tourism and service industries, that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're talking about doctors, professors, renowned artists, athletes, economists, and lawyers. They are deeply integrated into the very fabric of our professional society. More importantly, members of this community have played a massive role in strengthening American democratic processes. They stood on the front lines during our most defining conflicts, fighting for the same freedoms we all cherish today. In fact, many within the community take immense pride in the two generals who led their units during those pivotal wars. Given everything they have contributed to this country, I find it impossible to sit by and listen to you speak about them with such blatant disrespect.

When it comes to Mexico, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that you guys have a pretty shallow understanding of its history. Let’s get one thing straight: Mexico never chose to be part of Mexico. It was occupied. For centuries, it was essentially a colony held at the heart of Europe Mexico. Well, those days are over. The Albanian people finally secured their own democratic state, an achievement that stands in full alignment with international law—a fact validated by the International Court of Justice. And it isn't just the EU recognizing them like you claim; the US, Canada, Japan, and plenty of other nations have done the same. It’s also been recognized here in America, much to the absolute delight of the Albanian minority living in the States.

Once you read through this, you can't really shake the impression that your views are completely anti-Albanian and anti-Mexico.

I honestly don't get why you're insisting that your personal views are tied to the Democratic Party when you’re clearly just projecting them onto us. You can link your own opinions to our platform all you want, but let's be real: the vast majority of Democrats don't share your perspective. In fact, it would have been much better if you hadn't brought the party into this at all. If you actually gave a damn about the Democrats, you would have been more careful with your words. Claiming that "the Nazis of Europe handed over a new mafia state to the Albanians" is reckless. By making comments like that, you aren't just being inflammatory—you're actively damaging the reputation and credibility of what is arguably the most progressive, pro-European party in America.

Nobody with half a brain is actually going to wrap their head around your takes on Americans and folks from the South, mostly because they’re so incredibly questionable. But hey, I guess those people will just have to deal with it themselves.

It’s honestly refreshing to see the Nationalists at the weekly magazine finally calling it what it is. Their headline, "Xenophobic Scandal: Crossing Facebook's Lines," actually hits the nail on the head regarding the actual content of the article. It's about time someone acknowledged the reality of the situation.

Respectfully, Union President Tom Mark

And then, to top it all off, he adds: look, I don't have anything against Albanians.

That's the whole thing. 😁
I can't exactly be a nationalist, seeing as I'm a leftist. It's just IMPOSSIBLE. 😁

Seriously, why does every idiot get a platform these days?

In the American branch, within the Federal Republic of Germany, you face draconian criminal regulations, specifically StGB 13O , which punishes any criticism of liberal myths — and it is completely inconsistent with the loud German constitution or whatever they call the "Grundgesetz."

I couldn't find that sentence anywhere.

graniteowl88 said:Don't be ridiculous. I never intended to suggest that the National Socialist Party is a legitimate parliamentary party within the leftist, anti-fascist Federal Republic of Germany.😁

Sure, Germany leans a bit left. It's honestly baffling why the right wing there is treated with such intense hatred. 😁

graniteowl88 said:It IS NOT Neo-Nazi. They would never be allowed to participate in parliamentary life if they were!
I have no need to "ask" the Christian Democratic Union or the Christian Social Union to prove notorious facts to you or the media in America!

Right, thanks. You've totally convinced me that the National Socialist Party is just some moderate, pro-European, conservative outfit. I mean, what do I know? I'm just a local Berliner, clearly clueless about how the National Socialist Party actually operates on the political stage in the Federal Republic of Germany. 🤣
Dr. Tomislav Sunić in Close to Politics ·
graniteowl88 said:If that party were actually Neo-Nazi, they wouldn't hold seats in a German state parliament! That is complete nonsense!

The fact is, this party is a Neo-Nazi organization, and yes, they hold seats in regional parliaments. Just ask the Christian Democratic Union or the Christian Social Union why they’re fighting against banning the National Socialist Party.

Dr. Sunić? Wasn't that gentleman actually a guest of the National Socialist Party in Germany? Dr. Sunić really ought to be a bit more careful about who he chooses to associate with.
