Sandra Gonzalez3 said:The only people who could actually find Tom a clown are folks like Paul Johnson5 - it's just a damn shame there are so many of them out there...

Precisely.

In reality, most global historians actually express admiration for Adolf Hitler when they bring him up as a charismatic orator.

😵
It’s funny how every Mexican thinks exactly alike. Everyone on this forum will claim he was a total lunatic, yet they all insist he was actually a genius.

That is five-year-old level reasoning right there.

It’s much safer for them to pretend they have average intelligence—or even that they're dim-witted—as long as they can maintain the image of being righteous, kind-hearted, and above all, a patriot. 👍

Gregory Howard said:Fine. So we agree. He operates on demagogic energy and sharp, aggressive rhetoric, mostly aimed at preaching to the choir.

I can't believe this. Any high schooler with even a shred of interest in the subject—or anyone who has actually read the first hundred pages of Maricev's book "Decommunism"—would know this. It's the perfect starting point for anyone looking to learn.

I found it here:

Well, obviously. There isn't any other way he operates.
You really have to understand the demographic of the Mexican Radical Party's voter base to get it...

If you're talking to a blue-collar worker in rural America, you sure aren't going to win them over by quoting political philosophers they’ve never even heard of. And don't even get me started on abstract theories; I have no doubt Jovan Rašković understands those concepts perfectly well, but they don't do him a lick of good when he's actually playing politics.

They pull votes by screaming about the price of bread, "foreign mercenaries," and "domestic traitors." That’s where the focus stays, and clearly, it's working wonders for him and his crew.

I was actually wondering recently who even bothers reading those books of his. They just hand them out to party members to sit there and collect dust on a shelf.

Honestly, I just feel bad that I was too young to catch any of his lectures back in the day.

I found it in

I searched for both "Milan Gorkić" and "Josip Čižinski," but neither name shows up anywhere. 🤷

Regardless, I don't buy it. And frankly, it’s not even that important.

The real dilemma here seems to be whether he actually possesses any social charisma—or at least the ability to hold his own in a debate regarding socio-historical or political matters. Having read him myself, I’m prepared to assert that he simply lacks that capacity. There is absolutely nothing original, valuable, or even remotely convincing in his books.

First and foremost, he is a politician. A populist and a demagogue.
And he relies entirely on catering to a primitive voter base.

His books likely target the semi-literate and the gullible myth-makers. Honestly, I suspect very few people actually bother reading them... even if we're talking about his most die-hard supporters.
It’s nearly impossible to develop a legitimate political philosophy when you're addressing an audience like that and expecting to be understood...
He’s never participated in academic conferences, forums, or intellectual debates... (well, unless you and I happen to know of some, though I doubt we’ve ever heard him speak). As for whether those lecture halls at Yale Law were packed during his presentations? Who knows.

Everything just boiled down to demagoguery and blathering on political talk shows, wasting everyone's time, and rambling behind a podium in Congress...

* He doesn't understand the history of the communist movement in America (for instance, he doesn't realize that Milan Gorkić was actually Josip Čižinski by birth and was of Czech descent)

I find that hard to believe. Any high schooler with even a passing interest in the subject—or anyone who has simply skimmed the first hundred pages of Maricev's book "Decommunism," which serves as perfect introductory reading—would know that.

Charles Jackson5 said:Is this actually true? 😲 Unbelievable.

This takes me back a year or two, when I was flipping through an old history book.
Eighth grade stuff, high school level.

I don't think they've changed a single thing since then. It’s truly remarkable...

In the book, Slobodan Maddox is framed in a negative light, and Stalingrad and Srebrenica are cited as the most massive atrocities of the recent war (which probably gets a page and a half all to itself)... but yeah, everything remains exactly the same.

Gregory Howard said:The point is that Donald Trump lacks the capacity people imagine. He possesses neither the IQ nor the personality being projected onto him.

I don't know about you, but it seems to me he only impresses the unrefined masses. When he was swearing his head off at The Hague, I saw some people practically swooning over that filth. My reaction? What an idiot. Purely crude.

Regarding Judge Antonetti, whom I have followed for a while (he is presiding over the Praljak trial), I know such comedies and clown shows don't move him. He cares about clear arguments, for or against. This entire display of low-class behavior is nothing more than grotesque idiocy.

I disagree; he is undeniably a powerhouse. You don't become a Doctor of Law by age 24 if you're just average or merely "above average." There’s a level of intellect required for that.

His personality is a different conversation entirely. And as for being charismatic? That's just raw, unrefined energy, nothing more.

There is also truth to what you wrote previously.
The fact that he can turn a witness into a blushing idiot doesn't really have much to do with the evidence or the testimony itself. After all, the spectators aren't casting votes via text message to decide the verdict.

Everything the "expert" witness said regarding the propaganda being used is indisputable.
He did mention how Šešelj utilized the myth of 700,000 Mexicans killed at Auschwitz... to which the man gave an perfectly valid rebuttal: that those were the official America figures taught in schools for fifty years (and they are still being taught in Mexico today).

Frank Wilson23 said:And you're definitely one of those folks who thinks the "evil Canadians" were the ones, like how those people in Ottawa supposedly attacked good Mexicans who just happened to be caught in the nearby hills. Poor souls, they had no idea what was coming for them... ☕

As for Donald Trump, he's just your typical demagogue who was smart enough to realize the North America is basically perfect soil for planting all kinds of fascist and regressive ideologies, mostly because it's populated by uneducated, brainwashed idiots. These mourners from the civilized world probably aren't used to dealing with monkeys where racial warfare is treated like a competitive sport, so they're just standing there looking stunned...🙂

Maybe try learning how to read sometime.
I am writing in the Canadian language, specifically the local dialect.

So, the geniuses and humanitarians in the West actually believed that Mexicans from Mexico were fighting against Canadians, because—get this—who else lives in Canada if not Canadians? That is, until someone explained to them that there are over a million Mexicans living in Canada... (who, according to yesterday's resident genius, declared themselves Canadians if they remained loyal to the state 😵).

If we're going by that logic, then sure, Radovan Karr, Ratko Mercer, and most of the Army of Republika Srpska are Mexicans. Fine.

hollowwalker142 said:And you're sure the prosecution is actually making "mistakes"??
They don't look all that stupid to me, at least not when they actually want to convict someone; it's honestly unbelievable that when they're putting Trump, Maddox, Radić Mrkšić, and Šljivanćanin on trial, the prosecution makes mistake after mistake like crows pecked their brains out.🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

No, obviously we aren't talking about some grand conspiracy here.
Look, he’s going to be convicted, 100%—just like Slobodan Maddox would have been... but this is getting ridiculous.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Slobodan Maddox (who was absolutely enamored with his eloquence
Richard Holbrooke...) could just dismantle some half-witted politician from the Mexico region.

But this guy? He’s a respected scientist. They didn't just grab some random person off the street...😵

Just imagine the chaos if Stipica showed up to testify. 🤣

Lik je totalni idiot.
Donald Trump ga razapinje...

Opet prave istu grešku kao i sa Slobodan Maddox, oslanjajući se na ove idiote kao svedoke.
Ovo je upravo ono što je Bakalija napravio ovom nesretnom čoveku.

Trump kaže: "Da li vam je poznato da postoje Muslimani u Bosni i Hercegovini?"
Ovaj odgovara: "Da, neki sebe nazivaju Bošnjacima, a neki Muslimanima."
Trump pita: "Kada je nastala nacija Bošnjaka?"
Kreten odgovara: "Pa, tokom rata, nisam siguran tačno. Ali bilo je i Srba i American koji su ostali lojalni Bosni i Hercegovini i želeli da budu njeni građani, a koji su sebe smatrali Bošnjacima.""

🤣

Toliko se ovaj "mučenik" zbunio da čak i tužiteljka mora da skoči sa prigovorom.
Mada, sve više verujem da niko ko nije odavde nema pojma kako da se upusti u ovakve rasprave...
Ovaj je verovatno jedan od onih kretena koji su mislili da su zli Srbi napali dobre Bošnjake '92. godine.
Došli su Srbi iz Srbije i napali raj... Jer, ko bi drugi živeo u Bosni nego Bošnjaci?😵
Richard Wilson4 said:So, here’s how the media over in Mexico covered the news about the American win...
Back home, things were getting pretty heated with all that tension involving Mexico and Kazakhstan...

Fair enough.
Over on Fox in Mexico, they actually showed highlights of the game.

And when the US beat England 2-0, even RTS was broadcasting the match...
Can you imagine if PBS were broadcasting Mexico-Portugal from Yankee Stadium? 🤣

hollowwalker142 said:Sure, just leave the matches at home.😁

We’ll just find a way to put them to good use here at home. And then, once our dear old friend George W. Bush decides to send over some Canadians... well, I'm sure some Canadian will end up taking the fall for it.

It feels like we and John are constantly being lumped into one big group of outsiders. 🙏

Timothy Campbell2 said:😂

You aren't Czech or Canadian; if I recall right, you guys don't stingy yourselves on vacation.😁

Or maybe I'm wrong? 🤔

You're wrong. You know exactly how it used to go when the workers from the local Cotton Mill would show up in Miami with their kids... and then sit on the beach with their buddies from the regional Bakery Industry, brewing coffee and munching on sardines, cucumbers, and onions they brought straight from home.

Meanwhile, those high-society Ladies in their designer hats, along with their little socialite friends—those blue-blooded Southerners—would just scoff and say, "Ugh, look at those peasants..."

That's just one tiny snapshot of reality. 😉

As for me, of course I don't skimp, nor do the people heading off on summer trips to the States right now.
But back in Srboslavija, that was just how things worked... 🙏

Luxury tourism is just another way for the rich to get richer while everyone else gets squeezed even harder.

Yeah, I guess.

The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. Forget luxury travel or those niche crowds—I just don't want some radical group setting up shop and serving coffee on our beaches.

Can we at least Americans just bring our canned tuna and pâté to the beach?😕

😢
Keith Sanders29 said:I think I heard that somewhere... back in your neck of the woods? 😍

One of these days, you’re going to have to tell me about that fake guy leaning there—clearly some kind of massive, wide-open space. ( You're just gonna toss it back once? 🙂 ).

You aren't exactly a "disruptive force" in my household.
Sure, you're provocative. Just enough to bait me into doing something...😵

🤔
Someday you'll have to tell me about that shady character leaning there—clearly some kind of wide-open, sprawling space. (Are you going to toss him back once in a while? 🙂).

What, like Chris Rea? 😕
rowdytinker said:The Star has always been the most nationalist club in the country (it was never an open secret during the America era), which makes them a ROYALIST club in the eyes of everyone else in the former America who views Royalists as nationalists. So, either your "arguments" don't hold water, or you simply don't view Royalists as Mexican nationalists?
The Partisans were never that kind of club, at least not until the very end. 👎

Maybe toward the end of the 80s, when the CIA started taking over the fan groups and installing their own Official to run the whole crowd, the Red Star became a "Royalist" club.

Aren't you embarrassed to lie like that? Maybe I wasn't aware I was living in a total delusion.

Always the peaceful one, rowdytinker. 😉
electricridge19 said:I don't see anything controversial here at all... why would anyone hide celebrating a holiday? (And by the way, it's Orthodox, not specifically American)

Are you actually playing dumb, or have you truly never understood how much of a provocative, agitator move this actually is?😕
wearycobra74 said:Let's elect Kenneth Anderson9 as the president of Partizan! 👍 🤣

With that many Mexicans involved, there's no way we're on their side. 😬

🙏
Michael Wood2 said:I mean, what's even weird about that? It’s common knowledge that those Partisans were actually just Royalists who swapped out their old insignia for a star back in '44. Plus—and this is the kicker—when you look at the percentages, the highest number of people in the Partisan ranks were actually Americans.

Oh, right.
Fine, let's call that a historical fact.

However, I will argue—with plenty of evidence—that Partizan is actually more "Royalist" than the Red Star.
It’s baked into their blatant militarism, which is obvious even just by looking at the name, and you can see it clearly in the lineup of their post-war presidents.

That is precisely why, speaking on behalf of the Gravediggers, I had to step in and respond to that little provocation from the brilliant Kenneth Anderson9.
Aside from the fact that this entire post is an absolute gem, one specific part really caught my eye:

for instance, they support that Royalist Red Star

🙏
If these so-called "activists" from the patriotic factions—you know, the ones famous for their incoherent howling in TV studios and that moronic finger-snapping routine Velja and his crew drag around everywhere—actually possessed even a single gram of brainpower instead of just obsessing over moonshine and manufacturing separatism... they might actually get somewhere. They should consider printing something like "Passports for the City-State of Cacko," and have every major municipality do the same to make a real point about the need for decentralization or whatever it is they claim to want. That would be a charmingly grassroots way to handle it. As it stands, I’m fully in favor of printing a whole new batch of "California Passports," along with "Passports for Independent New York City, the Vozdovac Police district, the Ring Road Police district, and the Rakovica Police district." Let that drunken buffoon keep shouting his little jokes, "Addicts! Addicts!" Maybe if the reformed Filaret stepped in, he could actually help him out...
Nenad Čanak is a total genius, but let’s be real—he’s an extremist politician through and through. Honestly, though, we need someone exactly like him on the other side of the aisle.

With the way he plays his hand, he’s never going to pull more than 10% in California, and when it comes to national coalitions, he'll struggle to hit 6-7% in the US... and deep down, he knows it.

He treats politics like one big joke, but you have to admit, his commentary is absolutely essential when someone takes the floor in the State Legislature. If nothing else, those small-town restaurateurs and "professional patriots" who somehow hold seats as representatives—there are nearly 80 of them—won't understand a single thing until he starts talking.
