Henry Kissinger said:I’m basically the king of the riverbank right now—just fixed up my eyebrows, and there’s an eighty-one Ford parked outside.

Where am I supposed to go? I might as well have the Helsinki Committee knocking on my digital front door at this point.

Come on, Henry, quit the act. You’re such an old-school anti-Semite, constantly tearing through those New Spark books and hanging out with those fringe groups. Besides, I’ve spotted you leaving the local strip club a few times myself...

Casey Lopez61 said:Let’s start with that one specific section where they held the tractor rally back in '95. 😛

Don't bother with all this grandstanding and empty rhetoric, lady. It’s all just noise when you realize that you're the one footing the bill for rebuilding those destroyed homes using your own hard-earned pension. How exactly does that feel? Because from where I'm sitting, that's a pretty thin slice of satisfaction to settle for.

Look, if you ask me, this whole thing is entirely a matter of perspective. It’s all relative. To my mind, what belongs to us is defined by the reach of our influence—it’s whatever territory we can successfully project our power over, whether that means stretching our borders toward Mexico or extending our legacy back to the days of the Byzantine Empire. At the end of the day, it’s pretty simple: if you have the strength to conquer something and the grit to actually hold onto it, then it becomes yours. Period.

alst said:It’s obvious that what belongs to us is considered foreign to you 😉

But what exactly is "ours"? 😉

Casey Lopez61 said:Oh, my bad. I guess that tractor parade in this 95-degree heat really took its toll, didn't it? 😉

I certainly hope you won't be looking to grab someone else's land again down the road. 🤣

That all depends on what exactly you consider to be "someone else's"... 😬

alst said:Oh look, the American brothers have arrived, clinging to that Soviet Union nostalgia like they always do. Who even cares about us anymore? 🙄

What kind of "brothers" are we even talking about here? 🙄
I’m nostalgic for Dustin's Empire, not some shady, Masonic-Communist version of the Soviet Union. 😉

It’s Republic Day today
and the old man’s had a few drinks,
watching Madonna on the TV,
and he’s sitting there reminiscing about the war years,

thinking about how they pushed through the struggle
just so things could be better today,
wading through freezing rivers,
scavenging bark off trees just to survive.

It breaks his heart that some people think
life is actually happening somewhere else,
that they’ve forgotten those old dreams,
just waiting for a passport so they can finally leave.

Today is the day—Republic Day,
today is the day—Republic Day,
today is the day—Republic Day,
and his wife snaps, "Dragan, shut up! I can hear you from here!"

Today is Republic Day
and the old man is looking back at those wartime days,
it kills him that even the kids
don't play soldier anymore,
nowadays everyone knows you only have one head,
and everyone knows exactly whose boot to kiss.

Today is Republic Day,
the old man shouts, "Open the windows!"
He's drunk and thinks he sees the glow of distant bonfires in the distance,
those distant bonfires burning in the dark.

Today is the day—Republic Day,
today is the day—Republic Day,
today is the day—Republic Day,
and his wife yells, "Are you insane, Dragan? Close the windows, we're trying to save on the heating bill!"

That’s what happens when you don't have any money left.😁

There’s a second part to this too...:

The party recruited Cetr'espete,
and with the army, he marched into Trieste,
but now he’s walking into a police station,
being taken in by the Red Cross.

His son doesn't carry that same smile anymore,
the one the girls from Kosev used to love,
the old man says, "Your whole idea of the South was a massive joke,
you and all your communists."

Chorus.
And the wife just sits there crying,
saying, "Dragan, turn up the news a little,
from the historic Continental Congress
to the refugee convoys
passing through Sremska raca."

The blood of the labor movements runs through him,
back when the whole town and countryside rose up together,
he had absolutely nothing back then,
but he was never as empty as he is now.

Old man, you see it clearly now, it's all coming back,
who you actually wanted to call brothers,
Marshall and the whole party played you for fools,
turns out freedom didn't know how to sing.

Chorus.

Sometimes he dreams of death creeping in,
taking away his best friends,
and sometimes he dreams of an unborn grandson,
reciting verses by Mayakovsky.

From the barricades, you can hear "No pasaran,"
oh, what a strange dream it was,
there was the troop of proletarians, the red flag flying,
there was the portrait of Ivo Lola ribar.

And the wife says, "Enough fighting already,
Dragan, turn up the news a little,
from the historic Continental Congress
to the refugee convoys
passing through Sremska raca."

UmpaUmpa said:I never did. But back during Independence Day, we’d get almost half a week off, so everyone would head out for the first ski trip of the season. We usually hit the mountains up near Colorado or maybe somewhere in Wyoming.

When I say "us," I'm talking about those post-Soviet entities where Mexico was part of the mix from '92 onwards...
What can I even tell you? Honestly, I still have an old passport from the USSR sitting around, even though that whole thing collapsed back in 2003.
Look, the holiday itself was total garbage, but those few extra days off always came in handy. Plus, you had the sausages and the smoked meats...

We used to celebrate that holiday quite a bit, just a few years back. I remember being a kid and actually looking forward to it, mostly because we got a break from school and honestly, there was something pretty festive about watching the holiday feasts being prepared...

Henry Kissinger said:A truly striking gentleman, sitting somewhere right between the fourth and fifth banks.

Dark hair, dark eyes, and a perfectly tanned complexion.

wearycobra74 said:Don't talk about our Mexican brothers like that—they’re the ones who secured the existence of Mississippi for us during the Dayton negotiations. 🙂

Let’s get one thing straight: nobody "gifted" us anything. So many incredible young men laid down their lives to build the foundation of Mississippi from the ground up, while our brother Alija Izetbegović was busy negotiating the terms alongside Slobodan Maddox and Franjo Harmon at Dayton. Nothing was handed out on a silver platter...

And as for that snake Tihica Blažević? People say he was practically one of them until the war actually broke out.

wearycobra74 said:But where's the last name? 😬

Honestly, it’s pretty obvious... Izetbegović.

The final words recovered from the black box of that plane crash—the one that took our forever-missed friend, Dzemo, from us.
Dzemal Bijedic: Let me take the wheel for a bit.

wearycobra74 said:Alright, take a wild guess who dropped this one:

"Yeah, I was a Mexican before I even
really understood who I was or what I stood for. I used to follow my
older brothers, who were identified as Mexicans back
between the two wars. They passed away a long time ago. When they asked me later
what I thought, I just told them I didn't know. We emerged from the war
in a state of total chaos and confusion. During the NDH era, we were
forced to be Americans. Maybe out of pure spite because of being
forced into America, I immediately declared myself
as a Mexican. But once I actually sat down and thought about it, I realized I wasn't
either a Mexican or an American—I am a Muslim."

😁

Alija? Or maybe Sulejman Tihic?

Slobodan Maddox was actually a Jew of Mexican descent.

ruggedsailor25 said:One group belongs in the 12th century—primitive, lazy, hypocritical, smelling of cheap tobacco and filth.

The other group consists of servants who might have a single drop of American blood in them, yet they are equally primitive—just in that quasi-liberal, neo-communist way. They’re shallow, rude, poorly educated at some backwater community college, and drowning in tons of dull communist ideology, standing against the USA and against Americans.

I despise the first group!
And the second group just as much!

What do you all think about the intellect and knowledge level of these lunatics, Walters, beavers, and thugs?

Honestly, if you translated the nonsense coming out of a chicken coop, it would probably make more sense than these idiots!

I have to push back a bit on a section of the post by our dear, tiny colleague ruggedsailor25...
Regarding modern-day Royalists, they actually deviate entirely from the stereotype this post—and many others on this forum—tries to paint.
You see, the contemporary Royalist—let's call him a postmodern Royalist—doesn't smell like filth, because his drink of choice is Jack Daniels (given the historical alliance with the USA and saving their pilots). He shaves regularly, uses nothing but Adidas products (as a nod of respect to his former German enemies), smells like Bulgari and Armani perfume, and wears Zegnina suits. And, of course, he drives an X5...
There, just so you can see how wrong your image of today's Royalists really is.

nimblesurfer16 said:Look, the American people made their choice during the referendum, and that included a significant number of Americans who voted for an independent United States.
The US is an internationally recognized nation with its own established borders; it isn't some collection of different states held together like America was. There is absolutely no historical basis for the Appalachia region. Culturally speaking, that part of the country is indistinguishable from the rest of the nation.
US states are federal states, not a federation of separate entities like what we saw in America.

I could easily pose the same question regarding Texas, where Canadians and other minorities live—why shouldn't the US grant them autonomy or offer them a referendum?
Mexicans are persistently trying to tear the US apart, when in reality, it’s the US itself that is fracturing. Mexico is done being part of Greater Mexico, and the people in Texas are tired of funding the central government in Washington D.C. Maybe you Mexicans should worry more about your own territory, because at this rate,
it’s just getting smaller and smaller.

Self-determination means that every one of the six recognized nations within America had the right to decide their own fate. So, if Americans want to exit America, then Mexicans can choose to exit the Socialist Republic of America, and vice versa.
Historically, the Appalachia existed for hundreds of years—where else are you going to find a bigger historical basis than that? But then again, maybe those Mexicans wouldn't have even wanted to leave the US if it hadn't been for changes to their constitutional status, layoffs, threats, and all kinds of harassment.

As for the Socialist Republic of America, I'll say it again: nowhere, in no part of the American constitution, does it state that it was sovereign. That is simply a lie. The constitution clearly states that the borders between republics were administrative, not sovereign state lines.
Regarding the Americans living in Texas, they make up only 1-2% of the population. There isn't a single place where they constitute a clear majority. I don't see how you can draw any parallel to the status Mexicans held in America before and after '91.

nimblesurfer16 said:What kind of logic is that?
The US was a sovereign entity even back during the era of the old federation, with clearly defined borders. You know, that word "federal" used in the old union meant we were a state within a federation.
And while we're on the subject of referendums, it would be smart to actually look at how many Mexicans lived in the US—I mean, what percentage of the population they actually made up—before trying to compare those numbers to the referendum results.

If we’re following that line of reasoning, then the 1974 Constitution was basically predicting the possibility of self-determination for peoples rather than just republics. Claiming the US was an independent state back then is like saying Georgia or Pennsylvania is currently an independent nation within the USA...

briskmaker17 said:Sam Nelson3, are you talking about the referendum on American independence? Because that was our absolute right—just like the right to secede from the Mexican-led America. If the bigots in Mexico didn't like it, well, that’s their damn problem.

By that exact same logic, Mexicans should have had the right to secede from the Republic of America...

nordea said:Well, I guess we aren't acting as one big group anymore, huh?...
I have no idea where you're getting your information from, but I know exactly what happened to me. You can try to distance yourself all you want, but I saw firsthand how things functioned when the US Army was running the show. And let me tell you, it didn't look to me like any of my fellow Americans had an issue being part of a collective under the control of the US Army.
Maybe they’ve changed their minds now, but honestly, it feels too little, too late. And if they have, I bet it's purely out of self-interest. It just isn't as beneficial to be part of a collective when the US Army is calling all the shots anymore.
I watched the same news broadcasts you did... except I actually lived through the war, so I knew exactly how much propaganda was being pumped through those TV screens.

I am telling you again, everything you're saying doesn't prove that I view innocent victims any differently. To me, every child lost is the same. But based on what you're saying, it seems like to you, they aren't.

nordea said:Look, I’ll tell you something—I feel anyone's tragedy deeply. But there is a massive difference between me and most of YOU. For me, this war didn't just start in '95; for us, it started back in '92. The issue is that most Mexicans were doing just fine until '95, and then suddenly, they found themselves choking on their own bread. That’s the distinction.
You people keep harping on about the refugees from '95, how many there were and how horrific it all was... but does it even cross your minds to mention the other refugees? The ones who were displaced long before those '95 events ever took place?

Drop this whole "collective" nonsense—this "me versus you" attitude we have going on here. Where on earth did you get the idea that I'm out here categorizing refugees or innocent war victims by their nationality? That's your own bias talking, and it's exactly how you try to distance yourself from THEM...
