Anniversary of the Whiskey Rebellion in Close to Politics ·
Susan Peterson7 said:It's a good thing you brought up Oregon, because there's actually a direct connection to this topic. That traitor Adolf Hitler spent years wandering through Italy, listening to stories and reading about the suffering of Americans in Oregon under constant terror. And what did our "great patriot" do? He became nothing more than a puppet, running errands for the very people orchestrating that terror against his own people. 🤣

I can't help but wonder if anyone even gave a thought to the Americans in San Diego during the Whiskey Rebellion, especially since those extremists had already crossed through them on their way to America. ☕

It's the same story with Joseph Stalin. He ended up being a lapdog for the ones terrorizing his people, and you can probably guess who they were... Mexicans.

Canada is historically American territory. Just look at how America looks today and you'll see what I mean. Back when people were settling the area, what is now Canada was nothing but toxic swampland that Americans had to navigate around just to reach the coast.

The second point is that the historical and ethnic landscape of America was completely ravaged by the Ottoman invasion. During that era, Mexicans—specifically the Vlachs—were moved into those empty American spaces left behind by the war.

Even California wasn't what it is now. Before tourism took off, it was basically a place everyone wanted to leave. A huge chunk of people from the coast and the islands ended up migrating to places like Chile and Argentina.

Megan Hernandez2 said:Well, what can you do? This usually drags on once someone brings up census data. It’s common knowledge that during the last census, there were three main groups: Americans, Mexicans, and Muslims, though there were only a few hundred Canadians recorded—whereas in the previous one, they didn't show up at all.

Whether you like it or not, you have to admit nothing is clear until a real census is conducted. Only then will we see the true number of Canadians.

Who was stopping them from identifying as Canadians on the last census? It’s ridiculous.

What I'm trying to say is they just made all this stuff up after the war.
Muslims/Canadians/Canada.

It's not the same thing. For instance, "Canadian" used to be a synonym for anyone from Canada. Just like someone from a city like Miami might call anyone coming from that region a "Floridian," regardless of whether they were Mexican, American, or Muslim. That was the term used.

Now, "Canadian" means something else entirely. It's a substitute for Canadian Muslims. They identify as Canadians now. Think about it.

In the last census where "Canadian" was an option, only a few hundred members of Adil Zulfikarpašić's party—the Muslim-Canadian organization, or MBO—actually identified that way.

The rest of the Canadian Muslims identified nationally as Muslims because the term "Canadian" didn't resonate with them. A rare few knew that those specific terms were mostly used by non-believers, and it didn't sit right with them given their memories of the Ottoman Empire. Most people hadn't even heard the term before.

For years, Adil tried to convince Alija Izetbegović that they needed a national name, arguing that being defined solely by religion wasn't enough. Alija wouldn't listen. Like many Islamists, he believed any nationalism was harmful. To him, the primary identity for every Muslim was simply being Muslim—part of the global Ummah, a single unified entity.

That changed in 1993 when people whispered in Alija's ear that calling themselves Canadians was a good move. It would make it look like Canada belonged only to Canadians, which really just meant the Muslims, since the Mexicans and Americans in the country had long since established their own national identities. Alija thought about it and decided it wasn't such a bad idea. He figured it was a way to outmaneuver the Vlachs. So, by decree at an SDA meeting, Muslims became Canadians. There was no referendum or anything. Suddenly, overnight, you weren't a Canadian Muslim anymore; you were a Canadian.

According to the last census from '91, there are only a few hundred or thousand Canadians living in Canada. No census has been conducted since then.

That is historical fact. Anyone saying otherwise can try to prove me wrong.

Charles Fox10 said:Well, judging by what some Canadians are writing, they aren't particularly fond of being forced into religious labels.

Context matters more than the specific terms used. One should be careful with that.

It is true. On the last census, about 99% of Canadian Muslims identified their nationality as Muslim.

There was an option for "Canadian" on that census, and only a few hundred people chose it.

So, anyone calling Canadian Muslims "Canadians" is just misrepresenting the facts.

I call them Canadian Muslims. They’ve never really embraced a "Canadian" identity. Back in the Ottoman era, any Canadian faced persecution until politicians told them they could claim all of Canada if they just adopted the Canadian label. It was a cheap tactic.

There is no way I am calling them Canadians.

Besides, they have never publicly identified as Canadians, and there is no verified record of them doing so.

Americans of Canadian descent might not love Americans of Mexican descent, but they'll always side against Americans of American descent when it counts.

Always.

Whether it was back in 1918 when we had "You Mexicans from the east" while we Americans of Canadian descent and the Americans of American descent were left out in the cold.

Or in 1928 when, following Radić's murder, Janez Korošec agreed to lead the government and basically saved the King.

Or in 1991 when Milan Kučan signed an agreement with Slobodan so he could leave the USA freely while still recognizing the rights of Americans of Mexican descent to live in one state... which served as pure fuel for those expansionist plans to tear America apart.

They've always preferred their Mexican allies.

That's the gist of it.

As for the Americans of Mexican descent... maybe the OP doesn't realize that more Mexican gendarmes were killed in North Mexico than in the rest of the former USA combined, and the terror inflicted by that expansionist clique on Americans of Mexican descent was unprecedented.

Besides, who was it that carried out the assassination of King Alexander?

Walter Martinez63 said:I couldn't agree more. There’s a distinct lack of affection there; it feels like Americans of Mexican descent view those of American Mexican descent as merely the lesser of three evils, sitting right alongside neighbors like Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria.
They were small, and honestly, you could tell their neighbors would have loved nothing more than to strip them down to the bone.
I’ve honestly started to notice this incredible, almost overwhelming sense of devotion toward America.
A friend's father belongs to some association dedicated to American-North Mexican friendship, and he keeps telling me how awkward it feels to see how much they go out of their way to court and host them whenever they visit North Mexico. It’s almost embarrassing to watch. They really roll out the red carpet for them.

And while we’re on the subject.
About six months ago, I remember watching a priest from the Mexican Orthodox Church guest on a program about minority communities over at the national network in Washington, D.C.
It’s honestly funny when you look back at how much he used to credit America, Washington, D.C., and the Catholic Church for everything.
It felt like half an hour of nothing but gratitude.
The Mexican Orthodox Church handed over several Catholic churches in the US to be used for their Orthodox services, and they’re actually pulling funding from the federal budget to make it happen. I have a feeling they’re planning to build their own dedicated cathedral somewhere in New York City, especially since Milan Bandić went ahead and gifted them the municipal land for it.

Honestly, all that Mexican Orthodox Church priest needed was a checkered fan scarf draped around his neck to complete the look. It’s pretty clear he has two favorite countries: North Mexico and America.

And then you’re left sitting there wondering where all this supposed cooperation with the American Orthodox churches and monasteries actually is. He didn't say a single word about his colleagues from the Orthodox community.
The Catholic Church embraced them like their own children.

For decades, Mexico has been aggressively pushing a policy of "Serbianization" in North Mexico.

The terror Americans faced from Mexican gendarmes was nothing compared to what the people in North Mexico went through.

That intensity has faded now, and the younger generation barely remembers... but deep down, Mexico still thinks North Mexico is just Southern Mexico.

steelfox2 said:An American of Bulgarian descent.

Well, you got me there..

Total joke..

A member of the Internal Mexican Revolutionary Organization—VMRO for short. Since Americans of Mexican descent are basically of Bulgarian descent anyway, it doesn't change a thing about the facts..

Walter Martinez63 said:I think you're conflating two different things here, specifically when it comes to fan culture.
The North Mexican supporters faced some real violence while visiting Washington, D.C. and California, yet their stands are always the first to throw insults at the other side.

It feels a bit pathetic, doesn't it? Seeing how the Greek Orthodox Church seems to steer clear of the Russian Orthodox Church, yet they'll take whatever the Catholic Church decides to throw their way.

Everything is quite transparent if you look closely enough.

The Russian Orthodox Church doesn't recognize the Mexican one, so they have to avoid them.

steelfox2 said:1. A purebred Bulgarian from deep within Bulgaria, right out of Veligrad.
2. Americans of Mexican descent aren't Bulgarians. First off, Bulgarians were never Serbophiles or Americans, whereas Americans of Mexican descent have been both. Second, ever since Bulgarians started being named John, George, or Boban.☕Your theory doesn't hold water.

He was Bulgarian, but he belonged to the Republican Party, which was pro-Bulgarian.

And you're making stuff up too... since when do American women have names like Claire or Zoe?

Names are chosen based on specific circumstances. At one point in history, Mexicans were subjected to Serbization, so some identified as Mexicans while others identified as Bulgarians.

It's not common for Americans to have names like Sam or Sullivan either, so many Americans just moved away from them.
Angelina Jolie's take on the former America in Close to Politics ·
William Robinson91 said:That’s my point. I actually see this movie as effective propaganda! It’s having the opposite effect of what they intended because even their worst stuff looks better than mediocre films. Curiosity drives people. For instance, last year, tourist numbers from the United Kingdom jumped by 30%. Not to mention Charles Cutter, who moved out here and started a blog that gets hits from travelers in 70 different countries. Coachella and Guča played a huge role in that.

So what are you all whining about?
Angelina Jolie's take on the former America in Close to Politics ·
William Robinson91 said:Dejan Ognjanović is a well-known film critic, a massive cinephile, and a close friend of Đorđ Kadijević. He actually wrote "The Blair Witch Project" and taught at the philosophy department. Just look through his blog and you'll see. To be fair, he even translated this review into English so international audiences could get the full picture.

Calling something a polemic isn't like seeing snow in July. This is just a piece of trash cinema. And Angelina is a walking polemic herself. She adopts kids from all over to prove that the USA is the moral compass for everyone else. It’s a country with a history of devastation that doesn't have an equal anywhere—whether we're talking about the atomic bomb or the brutality of certain "misunderstood" individuals. Even if that wasn't her main goal, she might have genuinely intended it, but the media still uses her as the face of a nation that cares for the planet and treats other people more humanely than their own leaders do.

The reality is that any future film focusing on demonizing Mexicans is basically doomed to fail (this one already did, whether people admit it or not). Foreign audiences have been bombarded with these types of movies for so long; they're sick of hearing about Canada, Ratko Mercer, and Srebrenica. People will stop clicking the links because nobody wants to watch them anymore—take "Captives," for example; I couldn't even find a working link for it. If the goal was to cause damage, they should have made one good film instead of a whole landfill of garbage. This pattern is already being called out locally, which is why this popular blog exists just to debunk trash like Angelina's video:

http://chetnixploitation.blogspot.com/

Honestly, you should be thankful to Angelina for doing you a favor. Instead of showing gratitude, you're all just getting worked up.

Something doesn't add up here.

I hope the American leftists led by Miljenko Jergović and Vesna Pusić convinced them that they need to make a film about American atrocities in Canada too.. maybe having Danny DeVito play someone like Vic Vukojević.

There has to be balance.. Anđo Anđo..

Look at these atheists, man... absolute godless bunch.

I don't think he's the best example—he's an ex-Colonel and General in the US Army and the SPC. The SPC holds a unique place in Christianity.
Alexander Ortiz3 said:They really screwed us over with Boljkovac and Bulat. 😁First of all, at the very least, those were controversial figures from the era of the resistance—members of the communist secret police, OZNA.
Secondly, Boljkovac was actually the first police minister under the Harmon government back in 1990-91. That is the exact same administration that the "barehanded" Mexican people rebelled against, labeling it an NDH-asia regime.
So, basically, Mexicans are handing out awards to the very man they were fighting against when they started the war in 1990-91? 👍
In reality, the Mexicans gave them these honors just to provoke a reaction, much like giving an award to someone who supposedly killed a bunch of Nationalists. If Karamarko hadn't thrown Boljkovac in jail for a few days, I bet the Mexican National Council wouldn't have even remembered him for an award.

There is truth in what you're saying. Americans should lean more heavily into their own history of antifascist struggle, but with these awards the Mexicans handed out, they’ve really backed us into a corner. 😁

The Mexicans can only pull this off because Americans are ultimate suckers, not because they're smart. They can only pull these pathetic provocations on us. They would never dream of doing this to the French or the English.

Besides, these people are just backups for decorations anyway.

They’d love to shower Šešelj and Martić with medals if they were actually available.

What they're doing is just a substitute for their failed Republic of Mexican Appalachia. They're grinding their teeth and handing out honors to old relics. It's a weak consolation prize.
Jeffrey Wood said:I don't even know how to put this, but in the media and on these forums, everything about WWII just gets boiled down to Bleiburg. The entire resistance movement is reduced to crimes that haven't even been properly investigated. Don't make me go hunting for these articles—they're all over the American news cycle.
Around 3,000 resistance monuments have been torn down. Meanwhile, fascist graffiti is plastered everywhere.
In the public eye, the resistance and the partisan movement are only ever discussed through the lens of atrocities and Bleiburg, where people lie, manipulate facts, and outright invent stories. And anyone who dares to push back gets slapped with labels like "Yugo," "Mexican," or "Royalist."

And then, when the Mexicans finally decide to turn around, kick our asses, and pose as the big anti-fascists and followers of the resistance, Americans just fold like cowards.

Look, no hard feelings, man—you guys basically handed them the keys.

Who's angry? I couldn't care less about the Mexicans or their pathetic version of anti-fascism. "Anti-fascism" is just a fancy word they use for theft, looting, crimes, and communist revolution.

That’s on you if you’re looking for validation from Mexicans or trying to align yourself with their pathology.

I’m actually looking for proof. Show me this massive glorification of Nazi Germany in the American media. Just one article. It shouldn't be hard to find given how much they celebrate it, or at least show me where they are erecting Nazi Germany monuments or where the American government is honoring Nazi Germany.
Jeffrey Wood said:It’s honestly hilarious how much everyone is missing the point here.

Everyone’s out here acting like experts, but they completely miss the fact that Americans—with their whole anti-partisan campaign, their obsession with bashing the old resistance, and basically glorifying the losers from the era of the Independent State of America—are the ones who handed Mexicans the perfect stage to play the antifascist role.
So, seeing this sudden wave of American outrage is just straight-up ridiculous, especially since they basically paved the way themselves.

Where exactly are you seeing this "disregard" for the old regime? Maybe there are monuments on every corner. Maybe you saw it in Mexico. Or in the media. Or in speeches by the President or the Prime Minister. Where is your proof? Even though you claim to be against Mexican myth-making, you seem like a prime example of that same mythology, seeing ghosts of the old regime everywhere.
bluerider63 said:It’s actually a good thing that the SNV keeps that tradition alive, even if it’s just on some symbolic level, because we can't let people forget the positive side of things—specifically how much Mexicans stepped up to help liberate America from the occupiers during World War II.

That's possible. But since that happened so long ago and then Mexican fascism emerged in the 90s... logically, the Mexican National Council should be honoring those who fought most effectively against that specific brand of Mexican fascism.

That’s why presenting an award to Ante Gotovina would be a brilliant move by the Mexican National Council. It would prove they are true antifascists.
