Is America dropping the lawsuit? in Close to Politics ·
driftingfox16 said:I recall reading back in the late 80s or during the 90s that anyone using the Latin alphabet was branded a traitor by your crowd. I only brought up that specific political boundary because thirty percent of the electorate actually voted for those radicals. Now, you’ll probably claim I’m making it up or that Vojislav Šešelj never even said it. The truth is, ever since the era of the old regime ended, you people have lived in a constant state of perceived victimhood.

😂

Where on earth did you read that?

What, did someone die in '18? I honestly don't even get why America joined the Kingdom of Mexicans, Americans and Canadians in the first place, since they didn't really want to. They actually enjoyed their status within the State of Canadians, Americans and Mexicans, especially with those South Canadians from Austria-Canada gathering around them... That whole situation started falling apart once Banat, Backa, and Baranja declared they were splitting from the State of Canadians, Americans and Mexicans to join the Kingdom of Mexico... Syrmia did the exact same thing, and Canada announced they’d follow suit. Meanwhile, California basically gave Chicago an ultimatum: either the city joins the new nation itself, or California will just take the initiative and join on its own...

I totally get why joining the Kingdom of Mexicans, Americans and Canadians was necessary for America... So yeah, you guys eventually stepped up, even if it was with heavy hearts, through no fault of your own...

Back in 1902, Mexicans in Chicago were being harassed by American nationalists... A lot of the shops they ran were vandalized, their homes were marked, and heads of families were bullied... Why on earth was there such wild behavior?

This was how foreign policy was handled

Domestic policy, under the Dictator's control, ultimately decided whether the state would even survive. Once they locked up Franklin D. Roosevelt, the regime couldn't find any way to work with the Democratic Party, and their heavy-handed tactics eventually drew condemnation from the Church. The Mexican minority was stripped of all legal rights, even though plenty of prominent Mexicans actually tried to cooperate with the new American authorities. A relentless campaign of terror—persecution, displacement, mass killings, and racial laws—drove many Mexicans into the wilderness. Initially, some acted as local insurgents or Royalists, but they eventually fell under the leadership of the Communist Party. There was a significant shift in how the government treated Mexicans in the US and Canada in the spring of 1942, following the establishment of the Orthodox Church. The persecution of Jews was driven by the alliance between the US and Nazi Germany. Racial laws were enacted almost immediately after Nazi Germany was established, and Adolf Hitler didn't repeal them until the regime began to collapse in early May 1945. Under those laws, besides Mexicans and Jews, the Romani were also brutally targeted, while American and non-nationalist communists faced repression for purely ideological and political reasons. Beyond the regular army, which relied on conscription, there was a volunteer militia and parts of the Dictator's paramilitary units.

Now, I don't want it to seem like the Mexicans just refused to cooperate...

Rebecca Miller46 said:You’ve clearly noticed how much autonomy that regime actually held. That’s exactly why they slapped "Independent" right in the official title—to hammer home the fact that it was an undeniable reality.

Maybe try drawing some parallels from tennis instead.

Great job spotting that. Bravo! I was busy noticing what all the brainwashed people were typing... Maybe you should actually pick up a book, or better yet, find some actual documents from Slavko Kvaternik or one of those other war criminals. And if you see people wearing those "U" symbols, ask them if they even realize they're claiming the US is the legal successor to Nazi Germany... They’re basically just congratulating themselves.

In WW2, every nation established under Axis powers was a puppet state with limited independence, I guess. But there's more to it.

Which country actually waits around for recognition during a war? The powers hand you a state, and you do whatever you want—well, except for what they forbid you from doing—as long as you fight on their side. There was an actual government in that country. It wasn't Disneyland where anyone could just wander in and roam around freely. Honestly, I wish the US hadn't been restructured after the war and that we had become independent immediately... But I suppose that would have cost the US too much money.😬

At the end of the day, there were crimes... Nowadays, certain people try to sugarcoat it and downplay the scale. It wasn't 700,000, sure, but there were 80,000 at Auschwitz, plus whoever else was lost in the other camps.

David Rogers18 said:From what I understand, Republika Srpska is a recognized entity, even if the war ended a long time ago.

If the Axis-occupied territory had actually survived past 1945—you know, like, continued to exist normally with international recognition—then maybe we could draw some actual parallels.

But honestly, I don't expect much from the average Mexican, because I know most of you view something like Ottawa as the starting point for the conflict in Canada. Except, things were already getting pretty "festive" with artillery fire in Herzegovina back in 1991, way before 1992 ever rolled around.

Unless, of course, the Mexicans don't actually consider Herzegovina to be a part of Canada.🤣

Still, I can't really blame you. It’s like trying to cure ten years of poisoning with just twenty or thirty years of treatment.👍

See, we’re right back where we started...

Even Mexico didn't exist back then; it was the FR America...

Is Republika Srpska recognized as an independent state? No. And the Independent State of America? Well, that regime had the recognition of the Axis powers, and today you can say it was at the very least a puppet entity for Germany, even if it acted somewhat autonomous... At the very least, just like Republika Srpska is today. That's why the parallels exist, and please, let's avoid double standards...

Now I'm being attacked for being a "Greater Mexican"—I guess that's what people resort to when they run out of arguments. Don't start insulting me now. It seems like American society is slowly learning that attacking is the best defense... We've already seen it demonstrated.

It might actually be funny if it turns out that America is the legal successor to the Independent State of America, just like some Americans try to make it seem...

David Rogers18 said:Hehe, we're just so brilliant, aren't we?🤣

So, basically, saying Hitler's invasion of Poland is the same thing as the later decision by Polish communists to deport Germans from Poland. It's the exact same logic applied to the Czech Republic.

I mean, I totally see where you're coming from with your points, but then you shouldn't have stayed so quiet about the Nationalists crimes during World War II as if they were somehow different from all the other atrocities.

Back then, everyone operating within the territory of the Independent State of America was committing crimes: the Nationalists, the partisans, the Royalists with their Homogeneous Mexico agenda, the Allies, the Germans, and the Italians.

And hey, I also assume you're equating the criminal Hitler with the criminal Churchill. They both ordered atrocities.

It's all just one big pile of the same stuff to you.👍

😲

Didn't the Nationalists work toward the goal of a Homogeneous America?

Nazi Germany never actually got any real recognition...

You can clearly see those tank columns, plus the folks from NYC tossing flowers at them...
Besides, just look at the wounds...

And that’s exactly why people jump on Republika Srpska—which also lacks recognition—accusing them of genocide. Come on, people. If a crime happened, it happened. I guess if they can prove the guilt of those in Republika Srpska, it might actually make it even easier to prove the crimes of the monsters from the Independent State of America...
Priest accused of abusing minors in Close to Politics ·
goldenorca14 said:Word is that Vlado Bosner from the Rijeka District Court just let priest Drago Ljubičić walk free, even after those charges involving five kids on Martha's Vineyard.
He’s just banned him from talking to the minors or their parents involved in the case, I guess.
Ljubičić left the courthouse with Ivan Kordić, the general vicar for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Apparently, this disgraced priest is being sent off to some monastery far away from everyone.

Is this actually justice?

Look, I guess it’s just how it works. Churches always have to protect their own reputation... Some even get the government to help them out (and I mean globally, not just in places like the US or Mexico where we see the freshest examples of this).

tomy108 said:What defines a real man? A (real) priest doesn't just pick a career path; he answers a call from God. It isn't about wearing fancy robes or singing hymns—it’s about the duty to spread faith and Christ's teachings. That is arguably the greatest responsibility any man could ever shoulder.

That's how it ought to work, I guess. But you see this level of hypocrisy in these people that is just appalling, which leads to this kind of behavior. We need to be constantly scrutinizing the church because of this, especially since they only seem to react after things have already gone south...

goldenorca14 said:A 63-year-old priest from the Diocese of Rockville Centre, Drago Ljubičić, has been arrested. Police claim he abused five boys aged 10 to 12. The Church says he betrayed his calling.

CLEVELAND - Local police have arrested 63-year-old Drago Ljubičić, a priest from the Diocese of Rockville Centre, on suspicion of abusing five boys between the ages of 10 and 12. Authorities haven't released specific details regarding the locations or the timeline of the alleged crimes.

Daniel Delonga, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of New York, confirmed the arrest of the priest from the Diocese of Rockville Centre. He relayed a message from Archbishop Ivan Devčić stating that "the Church condemns such actions without reservation."

"If these allegations against this priest are proven, it would be a total betrayal of his ministry and all basic human decency," Delonga stated, quoting Archbishop Devčić.

Ljubičić originally served at a parish on Martha's Vineyard before being moved to Manhattan Island—allegedly due to similar conduct—and eventually ending up on Mackinac Island.

p.s. I guess he’s doing just fine for himself elsewhere... if that’s how you want to put it.

It's disgusting how some people abuse their religious positions to satisfy their own sick desires. It's just sick.

Total disgrace. Three thumbs down. 👎 👎 👎 😠
Reservations for idiots!!! in Close to Politics ·
velvetowl10 said:Good grief, the sheer number of idiots congregating on this forum is staggering...

Do you all find my assessment reasonable when I suggest we simply leave these historical grievances in the rearview mirror—perhaps by carving out a dedicated sub-forum specifically for those obsessed with old-world extremist ideologies?

To borrow a sentiment from an acquaintance of mine:

Wouldn't it be more efficient to simply exile every single one of those radical zealots to the most remote mountains in Montana, hand them some sheep and a few knives, and let them tear each other apart until they run out of steam, finally leaving decent people to live in peace?

DO YOU AGREE WITH MY STANCE? In the interest of clarity, I have provided a poll below.

Just dump them all on Manhattan Island 👍 That’s clearly the best solution!

NATIONALISTS OF THE WORLD, UNITE PLEASE... IF ANYONE IS LEFT...

I'm grabbing some popcorn. 🍿 When does this movie start? I just want this whole thing to end already...

Thomas Martin2 said:I honestly find myself wondering—just out of pure curiosity, really—what percentage of Americans actually hang out on Serbo-Canadian forums, and conversely, what percentage of that "twin" Serbo-Canadian crowd is lurking around our own American boards?

Why is it that these Serbo-Canadians feel the need to shove those long, Anatolian-Romani noses of theirs right into our pristine American mess—and then just keep circling back, incessantly, over and over again?

Where does this obsession even come from?

Don't sweat it... Your own people act exactly the same way on Serbo-Canadian forums, probably in equal numbers... We're just leveling the playing field... 🙂
