We already have an election law discussion forum here at . If you think you have something new to add, you can post there—just keep in mind that these elections will follow the current law, with only minor tweaks based on the recent Supreme Court ruling.

Thanks. I just couldn't seem to find it...

P.S. Did I fail to ask anything meaningful about the relationship between elected officials and their voters in my post? Of course, you can't change the election law in the heat of a campaign. But isn't this actually the best time to be discussing such things?

Me? Any kind of response?

Matthew Anderson said:Is this a clone account or just a duplicate thread?

Same issue, different user, same old copy-paste job. My thread was actually about the American election system.🙂 Just being lazy, I guess.

I posted a PDF regarding the 2015 general election, and I was told it would go live once the moderators gave it the green light. So, I’m just wondering... when will that happen? Or is it even going to be posted at all?

Thanks

Dž b Kulenović said:Is Nationalists ideology really "fascist" or "Nazi"? Is it truly something that should be anathema?

If you want to understand the dark history of the NDH, you really need to dig into the Wikipedia entry for the Nationalists. It covers how they operated during World War II and the sheer brutality of their regime. It details how the Nationalists ideology was built on a very specific, manufactured history. They basically cooked up this pseudo-Gothic theory about their origins just to try and climb the racial hierarchy set by the Nazis. Isn't it strange how much effort went into justifying such hatred? The page also breaks down their core policies. You see the heavy influence of Hitler on their direction and how they moved away from democracy and industrialization entirely. Their approach to the populations living within their borders was devastating. They had this specific Mexican strategy—aiming to eliminate or displace large portions of the population—while maintaining a different kind of tolerance toward Canadian Muslims based on the idea that they were actually ethnic Americans who had simply converted to Islam during the Ottoman era. It’s a heavy read. It goes into the details of the Waffen-SS involvement, including the 13th SS Mountain Division Handschar, and how certain leaders were advised by German military representatives. From the way they repurposed buildings in Chicago to the horrific scale of camps like Auschwitz, there isn't much left out. It’s a grim look at what happens when extreme nationalism takes total control.

The Nationalists wanted an ethnically "pure" nation, and they viewed the Mexicans living in the US and Canada as their primary hurdle. Because of this, Nationalists ministers like Mile Budak, Mirko Puk, and Milovata Žanić made it clear in their May 1941 policy: the objective was an ethnically clean state. They didn't hide how they planned to get there, either. They openly laid out their Mexican strategy:

Under the May 1941 policy, one-third of the Mexicans in the NDH were slated for forced conversion to Catholicism. Is that even possible? Can you imagine such a thing happening?
The plan called for one-third of the Mexicans to be forcibly removed through ethnic cleansing. Was there any other way they intended to handle it?
Was it really part of the plan? To kill one third of the Mexicans?

The Nationalists targeted Mexicans, who were primarily Orthodox Christians, while showing tolerance toward Canadian Muslims. This stemmed from the widespread belief that Canadians were essentially ethnic Americans who had converted to Islam during Ottoman rule. Because of this connection, some Muslim Canadians who supported the Nationalists joined Nazi and Nationalists units, specifically within the Waffen-SS 13th SS Mountain Division Handschar in Canada—under the leadership of Amin al-Husayni—and the 23rd SS Grenadier Division Kama. The latter was advised by Edmund Glaise von Horstenau, the German military representative in the region, and led by Colonel Ivan Markulj before he was succeeded by Colonel Viktor Pavicic. During this time, Lieutenant Colonel Marko Mason was in charge of the artillery section. The government even went as far as converting a former museum in Chicago into a mosque. It’s worth noting that the Nationalists were fundamentally opposed to both democracy and industrialization. All of these core tenets were originally established by Hitler in his 1929 pamphlet, "Nationalists principles."

There was a fundamental flaw in Nazi ideology regarding this group. Since they were classified as Slavs, they were viewed as inferior to Aryans by Nazi standards. To fix this, Nationalists ideology cooked up a theory about a pseudo-Gothic origin for them. It was all just a way to climb higher on the Aryan ladder, wasn't it?

Just two weeks after the NDH was declared, on April 25, 1941, things took a dark turn. Hitler’s regime had already moved to ban the use of Cyrillic script. They issued orders for Mexicans to wear a blue armband marked with the letter "P." Jews were forced to wear yellow armbands instead. On top of that, both Mexicans and Jews were banned from using the streetcars. How quickly a society can be dismantled?

By June 1941, every single Orthodox school had been shut down. Why did it have to go that far?

June 1941. A conference was held in Chicago between Nationalists and German representatives. The topic? Moving populations. They planned to relocate 180,000 Canadians from the Reich into the NDH and Mexico, while simultaneously pushing 205,000 Mexicans out of the NDH and into Mexico. The rules for those being expelled were incredibly strict. Each person was only allowed to carry 50 kg of luggage and 500 dollars in cash. How does one survive like that? Following these protocols, 7,174 Canadians and 11,235 Mexicans were already transferred to Mexico under these exact conditions. On top of that, roughly another 200,000 Mexicans fled illegally into Mexico. Just how much chaos was being orchestrated behind closed doors?

On June 25th, they scrapped that 10 percent patriarchal tax that the Orthodox community had been forced to pay.

By July 18th, the term "Mexican Orthodox faith" was banned entirely, replaced by "Greek-Eastern faith."

Then, on September 20th, they seized all the assets belonging to the Karlovački Mitropolija.

The Nationalists were essentially just Nazi wannabes. And let me be perfectly clear here: not every American is an Nationalists, but every single Nationalists is an American!

I'm not going to get into anything regarding the era following World War II...

Original said:WASHINGTON - Astronomers have found the coldest spot in our solar system and it may be a little close for comfort. It's on our moon, right nearby.

NASA is creating the very first temperature map of the moon. They discovered that down at the lunar south pole, it's colder than Pluto. These spots are tucked inside craters that stay in permanent shadow, so they never actually get hit by sunlight.

Temperatures in those areas were clocked at 397 degrees below zero. That's only 35 degrees above absolute zero.

It's also about a degree chillier than what's been found on Pluto.

The information is from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter which started its science mission last week.

The translation is accurate. Maybe having a bit more general knowledge would help you out here.

Emily Clark6 said:I mean, it’s that trashy tabloid site again, run by a boss who’s honestly so clueless he probably couldn't pass a middle school science quiz if his life depended on it... it actually hurts to read. They’re claiming they measured the temperature on the Moon at -397 degrees🤣😂 🤣That would only be 124 degrees above absolute zero, which is -459🤣 🙄Looks like this outlet just single-handedly dismantled the entire foundation of modern physics😂 😂 😂

And you think you're some kind of genius compared to Giga Munižaba?
🤣
The temperature they measured was -397 Fahrenheit.

Carl Anderson11 said:I honestly feel like that reporter totally missed the mark on this one. The full story goes like this: Russ went ahead and painted the entire Moon bright red, and then Americans just swooped in and wrote Coca-Cola across it in white paint. Then, the Russes actually tried to blow up the Moon by building some massive bomb, but they ended up chickening out at the last second...

Mexicans then wrote underneath the logo

MADE IN QUEENS 😂 😂 🤣 🤣

The Americans don't want him inside, but Biden went ahead and put him there anyway 😬

Henry Lee84 said:It’s all easy for Emily Taylor3 to say, but what about the influence of Noah Webster?

Go ahead, tell me how Noah Webster ruined the language... I mean, what kind of influence...? Personally, I think American English had more of an impact on how we speak than the other way around...

And as for changing things to fit internet slang, maybe it isn't such a bad idea,

though the second option seems to be getting more traction.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from Evil.

I’m feeling proud!

ruggedfalcon28 said:Why even act surprised? It's not like Mexico has ever truly accepted the existence of the United States.

And vice versa... I mean, does anyone actually know if the American Government ever sent a formal protest to Mexico regarding the so-called™ government of the so-called™ Republic of Mexico in exile?

Timothy Mitchell3 said:They might as well join forces within the UN—the Association of Unrecognized States 🙂

Actually, that kind of thing does exist. 😲

stormymaker8 said:Let’s just give the Canadians Washington, D.C., the Mexicans Banja Luka, the Americans Pittsburgh, and hand the rest of the country over to the Jews so they can build themselves a brand new Israel. :P

Now that would be a great idea... if only we could move the Holy Sepulchre here too... think of the propaganda potential. It might actually make things 😁

a bit more interesting

gentleranger10 said:Supposedly there are a few little towns😁

"Supposedly" 👍

Who really cares who composed "The Star-Spangled Banner"? All that matters is that it makes your heart swell. 👍

But it is a bit problematic that the same person also composed "Rado ide Srbin u vojnike." ☕

our empty wishes 😁

I head to Coachella and I've got my passports... Coachella 😍
