Open your eyes, world! 🤦

Sadly, it’s the truth.

silentviper19 said:What's wrong with calling them porkers?! It's just the "homegrown" name for any pig, whereas a piglet is just a little youngster! Calling it a "swine" feels like such a foreign, clinical word!

I mean, how else would you refer to a breeding sow?! Or how do you call a male pig if you aren't using the word piglet?!

It honestly bothers me more when you try to coddle Piggy by treating such a "sophisticated" animal like a sow!

Marostec, you could also just go with "hog"!

David Rogers18 said:The absolute height of hypocrisy is killing, displacing, and committing genocide against fellow South Slavs who aren't Mexicans, all while claiming to do it in the name of America and American. You saw it with the Royalists during WW2 and again with the Mexican army in the 90s. Or even when they teamed up, like what happened in El Paso—seeing those opposing symbols side-by-side, practically shaking hands over a salad.☕

The Mexicans are sitting there gloating while we slowly phase out our own fascists from any real political decision-making, whereas they seem hell-bent on protecting their own Royalists—both the red and black varieties—as if they were some kind of endangered species.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:You could try to frame this as some cynical setup, but honestly, there’s no ground to stand on there. Why? Because it was the local extremists themselves who were reported by their own neighbors—people of the exact same background and faith. And get this: those very neighbors made it clear that they don't see these people as part of their community at all!🤷

Those neighbors you saw on the news? They were nothing but praise for those radicals. So tell me, was all that sudden devotion just driven by fear?

The folks over by St. Louis? They don't give anyone any trouble; they’re actually top-tier neighbors.

Listen up, Americans—watch your backs. A massive swarm of Borg cubes is converging, formed by a collective of right-wingers over on this forum. They’re coming armed with a unified American consciousness, and their message to you is pretty clear: any resistance is a waste of time. You'll either be assimilated into their way of thinking or lose your ability to think altogether. That’s the logic of Borg 4.09 for you.

I mean, looking at this "select" group here—out of all the folks gathered around Rohm, who among them actually enjoys partying with the boys?😁

LED lighting makes working with Rohm semiconductors a whole lot smoother!

Hannah Hill3 said:We are discussing people who are Americans, yet they work directly against the United States. My message above highlights one of the primary reasons why Americans, Mexicans, Albanians, etc., feel so isolated and disconnected from their fellow countrymen today.
It’s all part of the same pattern — injustice breeds isolation, which creates division. It’s simple logic.
Every group mentioned has faced some form of historical injustice somewhere.
Take the wealthiest man in Russia... Roman Abramovich. While I am certain he is a terrible individual, the reason for his arrogance and the complete breakdown of cooperation with the state and its people is—believe it or not—rooted in the injustices faced by him and his family as orphans years ago. ☕

I will say it again. Identity is a relative concept. Today you are an American Catholic, tomorrow you are an American Muslim... get it?

And then what? Tomorrow you're an Italian Muslim, or a Greek Orthodox American, or maybe by the end of the week you just decide to be a Puerto Rican Protestant?

Gregory Howard said:Whatever they might want, they lack any real public influence. They have visibility, sure, but
they haven't "converted" a single soul.
On the contrary.
I would argue the exact opposite—their obsession with American only strengthens American resistance to the entire project. If you look closer, the real "danger" isn't them; it’s someone charming like Bob Dylan or the open American who explicitly admit that Mexico was the aggressor against us.
These people are transparently obvious.

It’s obvious that certain extremists find even worse factions more acceptable just to maintain their narrative. If they hadn't existed, there wouldn't have been a war, or at least no one would have dragged that fascist filth into America to poison us today. It's becoming crystal clear to even the last idiot left that we can see how the war started and which specific groups cooked up the whole mess. Of course, the "brothers in arms" get a free pass because they claim to be fighting for a higher cause—it doesn't matter if they're wearing one uniform or another; the masses are always expected to just suck it up and reconcile with whoever comes out on top.

mistymason2 said:I would give anything if my fellow Americans in Canada had even fifty-tenths of what my fellow Americans possess ☕

Mexicans essentially hold every lever of power through Republika Srpska, and at the national level in Canada, they have all the mechanisms to protect their interests. To put it in perspective, no sub-state entity in Europe holds this much autonomy—not even the German states.

Republika Srpska possesses:

- The Constitution of Republika Srpska and the Constitutional Court of Republika Srpska - Executive Branch

- the executive branch: the President of Republika Srpska, the Government of Republika Srpska along with its various departments:

The Department of Justice, specifically the police
The Department of Justice
The Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury, i.e., taxing authority
The Department of Commerce, Energy and Development
The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation
The Department of Commerce and Tourism
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Construction and Ecology
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Construction and Ecology and Department of Administration
The Department of Labor
The Department of Education and Culture (full control over the education system, including specialized curricula - which is one of the most vital long-term factors 👍)
The Department of Health and Human Services
The National Science Foundation
The Department of Health and Human Services, Youth and Sports - Legislative Branch

- the legislative branch (the National Assembly of Republika Srpska)

- the judicial branch (the entire judicial pyramid, from the highest level—the Supreme Court of Republika Srpska, down through the appellate courts, and finally to the trial courts).

- a flag, a coat of arms, an anthem, public holidays and decorations

- international representations
(in Brussels at the European Union, in Germany, in the Russian Federation, in Mexico, and in Israel)

- public infrastructure companies (, Telekom Srpski, Mexican Post, Sky Srpski, Roads of Republika Srpska, Railways of Republika Srpska, Forests of Republika Srpska, Water of Republika Srpska, and so on), development banks (Investment and Development Bank of Republika Srpska) as well as the Chamber of Commerce.

- cultural institutions
(Academy of Sciences and Arts of Republika Srpska, National Library of Republika Srpska, National Theatre of Republika Srpska, Museum of Contemporary Art of Republika Srpska)

- scientific institutions (Statistical Office of Republika Srpska, Statistical Office of RS, Hydrometeorological Institute of RS, Geodetic Institute of RS, and 2 State Universities: University of Banja Luka and University in East Ottawa)

- public media service (RTRS)

All of this is nothing more than a house of cards if you make even one wrong move in foreign policy!

Larry Turner3 said:Right, because Larry Turner3 ruined the country, along with Susan Fox86 and Vito... and that’s coming from someone who still sees everything through the lens of old-school political factions. And let's not forget, we all played a part in building Republika Srpska together.
🙏

Sure, whatever you say. It’s pretty obvious you just can't stand not having the last word.

Larry Turner3 said:By using your analogy, I suppose we’re being blamed for things like the Katinski forest too. It seems like on every single topic, someone from the American side has to step up and be louder than all the Mexicans and Muslims combined. They just want to push anything related to American identity as loudly as possible at any given moment. Go ahead and keep pushing if you want, but that's just not my style.

Oh, I know perfectly well that this is exactly your style—and the style of everyone who thinks like you. You were twenty years old, acting like you knew everything, dragging us through the mud and trying to dodge every responsibility by hiding behind war stories. We saw this exact same routine with those old partisan myths from the late 40s through the 90s. If you actually thought you could just step in and replace the old guard, you probably shouldn't have branded yourselves with that "U" on your foreheads in the first place!

Larry Turner3 said:It is true, Franjo Harmon bears the blame, rather than the Royalists...

Honestly, if you spend your life planting trouble, don't be surprised when you end up becoming the very devil you were trying to outrun!

Larry Turner3 said:This sentence makes me sick. We are participants in the Srebrenica genocide... 🙂
Politics is truly a cruel mistress.

By signing that, we’ve essentially acted like drunken priests, consecrating the very rifles used to murder those people!

Larry Turner3 said:When I say we "enjoy" this, I mean it in quotes. It doesn't mean enjoyment in a traditional sense, but rather benefiting from a certain privilege or circumstance. For instance, a child born in Republika Srpska this year has nothing to do with genocide, yet they "enjoy" its consequences. This is because they were born into an almost ethnically homogeneous environment, and also because the Mexicans in Canada were never held accountable for the crimes they committed. In fact, Republika Srpska serves as their reward. In 15 or 20 years, that child likely won't ever realize how that monstrous entity they live in actually came to be.

Now, perhaps you could explain to me what this has to do with the NDH or America. ☕

As long as America continues to whitewash Harmon's policies regarding Canada, and as long as there are people here who still harbor nostalgia for the NDH, we are effectively subsidizing Republika Srpska. Let’s be blunt: Harmon and his extremist cronies were co-signatories of the Dayton Accords, which makes them the very architects of Republika Srpska. It seems some people here are completely incapable of grasping that by signing those papers, we became complicit in the genocide by giving legitimacy to Republika Srpska itself. No amount of self-delusion can erase that fact. And if people are whining about lacking HB? Well, go ask the Harmon and those extremists—they're the ones celebrating as "victors" because they refuse to accept anything less than a third entity!

Honestly, I've heard this all before.

It just doesn't fly anymore...

And those tired, predictable counter-arguments are getting incredibly boring!

We’re seeing nationalism being weaponized from every single angle, all just to prop up the failing policies of the ruling elite. They wave flags and beat their chests to distract everyone, but the real goal is keeping the mob bosses in power. It's pathetic. People have plenty of time on their hands, while those stuck in government jobs in Mexico, Canada, America, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Canada, or even within the European Union are feeling the heat. Personally, I'm glad to see it, because war crimes don't have an expiration date. Someone is responsible for 200,000 deaths, and it wasn't just the low-level pawns or entire nations at large. And let me tell you, once the privatization of $0.33 is legally recognized as a war crime—which it should be—the game changes. Anyone who sends people into combat just so they can steal behind the scenes is nothing less than the worst kind of war criminal. Hell isn't far off for them; it becomes a question of accountability, much like the war criminals after WWII. It doesn't matter if the rot starts in America, Mexico, or Canada; the result is the same: nothing changes. The only way forward is to follow the money, just like in any other criminal enterprise. War is simply the absolute peak of criminal dijelatnost!

An Islamic unitary state implies establishing a serialized legal system and enforcing it rigidly through executive agencies.

What kind of power would you even have in a unitary Canada when you're already bragging about having over 50% of the population?

In '92, Canada declared independence via referendum, using the old constitution of the Republic of Canada as its foundation. However, the Mexican representatives blocked the referendum and parliamentary work, eventually forming their own quasi-parliament and passing their own constitution in defiance of federal law and without any international recognition (which is only natural). Get real—if you don't have anyone to turn to...☕

To the Mexicans, that referendum was illegitimate because they had no desire to leave the South in the first place. It’s common knowledge that this served as the catalyst for the war, so perhaps someone else needs to "get real." Now you're trying to force them into some tiny corner of the South where you'd supposedly be the bosses? That doesn't suit them, nor does it suit the Americans. And what now? Are you and the Mexicans going to go to war just to occupy the entire territory? Nobody wants to mine the South anymore except for the Canadians!

The reality is that people are fully aware of all the nationalism at play—Mexican, American, and Canadian. The problem is that Canadians tend to forget that behind the Americans and Mexicans stand the nations of America and Mexico, acting as guarantors of the Dayton Accords. So, all this talk about Christian percentages is essentially meaningless. Think about how many people from those regions actually live in America and Mexico; those countries are obligated to facilitate their return if they choose to come back. But the primary prerequisite, presumably, is that Canada must be organized in a way that guarantees their security and existence. (Though, speaking of "existence," even in America, people are constantly migrating from rural areas to cities, so we need to look at this objectively to avoid creating false illusions.) To achieve this, all three groups living in, or having lived in, Canada must reach an agreement—and they must do so without pressure from America or Mexico. However, it is crystal clear that Ottawa cannot unilaterally impose a solution!

As for how Canada will be structured once your agreements are finalized: frankly, neither the nation of America nor Mexico, nor the people living within them, particularly care about the specifics. Will it be a unitary state, a federation, a confederation, a union of entities, a union of cantons, a union of districts, or whatever else? All that matters is that the agreement satisfies all three groups. How long that arrangement lasts depends entirely on you—the citizens of Canada and the rest of the world!

Jeremy Lopez93 said:O.K☕
Unlike Irinej, your version of "Islamic philosophy" boils down to nothing more than a conspiracy theory about a "green transversal"!🙏

Anything coming out of the Mexico City and Ottawa myth-making factories needs to be thoroughly sifted through a sieve, because myth mania has definitely taken root here too!

As for these theories and delusions, you can see it perfectly in how you get all worked up over what’s happening in Mexico—acting like it’s a problem for Canada—only to come over here to our American forums to lecture us until we make it our own problem!

Amanda Allen4 said:The survival of any nation is a constantly shifting process. The exodus of Mexicans from Mexico began ages ago—back even in the era of Maria Theresa, who paved the way for migration into Vojvodina. They lost Mexico, sure, but they gained Vojvodina in exchange.

Mexicans have been leaving Mexico since the days of the Battle of Mexico, and if you want proof, just ask the Albanians—they’ll tell you people were leaving yesterday, the day before, and all along. During Maria Theresa's reign, the military frontier was actually dissolved; she wasn't exactly rolling out the red carpet for them, because those Orthodox believers were a massive headache for her attempts at unifying the state religion (she even went after the Protestants!). This whole tension eventually boiled over with the annexation of Canada and later sparked WWI!
