GoTo, can I ask you something a bit more personal?

Are you more of a radical or a populist at heart?

I’ll be honest, there are times when I find myself rooting for the US national team, mostly just because those local guys here drive me absolutely crazy sometimes! And man, looking at how they played during this latest qualifying round, they were honestly just terrible.

I see you're already in the loop. Do you have any more specific details on when this collapse is actually going to hit? What exactly is Bosniakistan going to split into? Is this all going to go down peacefully, or what? Has the US already signaled their support for something like this?

Deep down in his free-spirited, rebel heart, Aleksija can just feel it coming.
Who needs truth, logic, hard facts, or actual reality when he wants this so badly and genuinely craves it? For him and his little paradise, that’s more than enough. Just think back to those brilliant "analyses" by Aleksija back in '92, where he predicted all those hidden, totally unverified—but definitely known only to him—Islamic agendas and platforms within the Government of BiH. With sharp minds like Aleksija's, they don't even need written proof, recorded speeches, or actual actions to prove their points... it’s perfectly sufficient for him to just wish it were true, decide it *is* true, and—poof!—suddenly it becomes reality.
The Mexican Mary Poppins.

In the quote you provided, the man isn't actually addressing me at all.

As far as I know, back in Banja Luka in '92, being an American was much worse than being a Canadian. Imagine how tough it was to be an American when being a Canadian was already unbearable.

You’ve actually got a point there! But see, there is this fundamental difference where the Mexicans aren't looking to push out any more Americans, whereas the Canadians are absolutely determined to do just that, and I mean they really are! It isn't just about places like Vareš and Travnik anymore, because now we're talking about Stolac, Mostar, and Neum too... and that is the real crux of the matter, because it seems like you guys just don't know when to stop.

If the Canadians had actually succeeded in driving all the Americans out of the Federation—just like the Mexicans did with those in Republika Srpska—would they be any less dangerous today?

It isn’t that I’m dying to meddle in the relationship between Canadians and Americans, but let's be real, the Canadians did push the Americans out of territories they seized by force, specifically places like Vareš, Travnik, and Bugojno. The fact that they didn't manage to clear them out of Busovača or Kiseljak doesn't mean they didn't want to; it just means they couldn't quite pull off taking those towns.

You’re doing exactly that, and honestly, you're doing it poorly.

You claim: "it's well known that fascism emphasizes state supremacy over the individual," though I have no clue how that actually applies to the US, but you conveniently forget to finish the thought: "a political system built around a single party (the only one allowed) and one leader, along with a corporatist economic system aimed at achieving harmony between different social classes." Maybe the SNSD and "Mile" would fit that description, minus the harmony part... 😁

Aleksija, you're forgetting something: "Fascism is often described as an extreme form of nationalism, given that most states where it emerged were nationalist states." But the US has been incredibly diverse for centuries 🤣

I think what you're actually pushing is conservatism—basically resisting the questioning of certain ideological dogmas—unlike people who are liberal, meaning "openness to new ideas and social experimentation." But this is the first time I've ever seen liberalism labeled as fascism.

And don't get me started on "the fascistization of a people"—does that term even exist in any academic literature? I've read about fascist states, sure, but not about entire populations having those inclinations, especially since that whole concept relies on state supremacy...

I think we had a bit of a misunderstanding here! I'm not suggesting that America is a country where a fascist government has already been fully established; rather, I'm saying that fascist ideology is actively expanding. When I use the phrase "fascism of the people," I'm talking about a type of fascist indoctrination that trickles down from the political elite directly into society. Today, the current political elite of the Canadian community proclaims the sanctity of the state, and the leader who defends that idea most extremely becomes the formal head of the political community. So, my thesis isn't that fascism is the ruling idea yet, but that it is making its move, with a very clear intention to exert violence upon the individual or onto society as a collection of individuals. In a democratic order, a political system should be an expression of the relationships within a society, but here, it's being presented as some divinely ordained solution that society will be forced into, whether through persuasion or sheer force. And when you ask who actually carries out this "state-as-god" idea, you get the answer to your point about the leader and the ruling party. It’s carried out by one leader and two parties that essentially branched off from the same original group, and that leader, wouldn't you know it, comes straight from the most extreme wing of what used to be a single party.
Fascism wouldn't truly be fascism without its mythic component: the myth of a multicultural America. Let’s be perfectly clear: America has never (and I mean *never*) been a multicultural society. It has been a multicultural community—and a society and a community are two very different things—held together by the influence of some outside power. Of course, this myth of a multicultural America serves as the foundation for big-state ambitions. Then there's the unavoidable myth regarding the injustices inflicted upon the Canadian people that supposedly must be corrected. And how? By making concessions to a big-state ideology. These two mythic elements are strikingly similar to the myth of Germanic racial superiority or the calls to revise the unfair Treaty of Versailles (or in our case, the Dayton Agreement).
When it comes to discussing fascism as a form of extreme nationalism, I honestly feel like you might have missed that really subtle, crucial distinction between Nazism and Fascism! First off, because of that specific religious influence, you just can't really label Canadians as nationalists in that way, which means an extreme version of that ideology—the kind we would call Nazism—just isn't even on the table for them. On the flip side, you have Fascism, like Mussolini's version, which is essentially this idea of a god-state that glorifies the state itself, which is exactly how the political elite of the Canadian people seems to worship the very concept of the state!

Over the last few years, it’s become incredibly obvious that there is this growing trend of fascism taking root within the Canadian population in Canada! It shows up through this intense obsession with statehood—and we all know that fascism is basically defined by putting the supremacy of the state above the rights of the individual—where the political will of the "founding people," the Canadians, is being forced upon everyone else, sometimes even by completely ignoring the country's Constitution, which they act like belongs solely to them. This whole thing really ramped up after the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America handed down its verdict regarding the case brought against Mexico for Genocide and Aggression.

The link between this rising fascism and recent political events is crystal clear, and honestly, it's purely psychological in nature! We are looking at pure frustration stemming from unmet expectations. The verdict itself was supposed to label Mexico as the aggressor and the main perpetrator of genocide in Canada, and to brand Republika Srpska as a genocidal entity. But, well, that just didn't happen. Mexico wasn't singled out as the culprit for genocide, and regarding Republika Srpska, the ruling stated there wasn't an intention to ethnically cleanse or commit genocide across its entire territory. Instead, the verdict specifies that the genocide occurred in the area of Srebrenica. Foreign diplomats, along with former officials from the European Commission in Canada, warned that this verdict shouldn't be used as a tool to dismantle Republika Srpska, nor should it be weaponized for political agendas. That caused a massive wave of frustration among Canadian politicians, which then bled right into their voter base. Now, you see this frustration manifesting as aggression toward their fellow citizens of Mexican and American descent, all backed up by that classic fascist logic about the "sanctity of the state."

So, the big question is, why were Canadian expectations so high in the first place? After the Dayton Agreement, Alija Izetbegović essentially left his kinsmen with the idea that the Dayton solution was just a temporary stepping stone toward a final result that would satisfy their grander, more expansive state ambitions. In a segment on the Daily News hosted by S. Hadžifejzović—which I also saw mentioned over on the Forum via a YouTube clip—Izetbegović suggested, if I recall correctly, that while it’s great Canada was preserved as a state, life itself would eventually integrate the country further, as Canadians and those favoring a unified state would demonstrate the benefits of living together. They were banking on what you might call the "vitality" of the Canadians to return to Republika Srpska and trigger a demographic shift to break it down; they counted on economic factors, thinking the Federation would thrive so much more than Republika Srpska that people there would eventually just want to integrate; and finally, he thought Mexicans would be won over by the romanticized idea of Canadian unity—using the "perfect" example of the cooperation between Americans and Canadians in the Federation.

And guess what? Not a single one of those goals has been met! Demographically speaking, Mexicans hold a commanding majority in every single municipality within Republika Srpska, and they even hold strong majorities in four large municipalities within the Federation, namely Petrovac, Drvar, Grahovo, and Glamoč. Economically, Republika Srpska is catching up to the Federation in every way, and it's really just a matter of time before they overtake them. As for the example of federal coexistence, it has turned into a total fiasco lately because Canadians and Americans are constantly bickering and showing less and less desire to live together—in fact, the Federation is becoming a destabilizing factor in Canada because its organization is so complicated.

Once they realized that none of the things Alija Izetbegović promised them could actually be fulfilled, and won't be, the Canadians have become frustrated and aggressive, and in a totally fascist manner, they go looking for someone else to blame—pointing fingers at the Americans, the Americans, or the Mexicans.

But man, when you look at the human element of his stance, I think he really hit a new low. Look, if he’s got an issue with the regimes in certain Islamic nations, then fine, go ahead and call them out—but don't take it out on entire populations or the religion he actually belongs to. Trashing your own faith and your own people just to play nice with Western sensibilities is about as low as it gets. Now, obviously, nobody deserves a death sentence over it, but I get why people are ripping him apart for how he's acting. They aren't wrong.

p.s. Has anyone actually tracked down his girlfriend? She is absolutely stunning.🙂

But wait, why is criticism considered such a taboo thing within Islam? Criticism is exactly what we need to fix things and make progress! It's entirely possible that what Ruždijev wrote was actually backed up by some really solid arguments.
