Just wait a month—if politicians and the media don't have some new topic to spin, they’ll go right back to the partisans and the Nationalists. We only get any peace during the summer when journalists and politicians are basically on vacation. That’s just how politics and the media work. There can't be any "downtime." Every single day needs a new scandal. As soon as one wraps up, they jump straight into the next without catching their breath. They do this for ten months out of the year. I'm just saying what I see. Nobody around me actually cares about Marshall or Ante Pavelić.
It's been 80 years since that era, and the media and politicians are still pushing it?
And you think that's just "natural"?
Only a tiny number of people actually care about this stuff. You care about it, maybe I care because I've always liked history. As an American nationalist, these topics matter to me; as a leftist or a Marshall fan (you either have him or had him on your Facebook profile), they matter to you. But we are a massive, massive minority in society. I wouldn't even talk about WWII if I wanted to, because nobody cares. Honestly, I'm losing interest too. It's a dead end. What makes money—like I said—are all those various NGOs and self-proclaimed "human rights activists"...
Actually, it hasn't been 80 years. America didn't wrap up until '91. Then came the war, where certain extremist groups and individuals stepped in, framing the whole conflict as a fight against communism. That's how even some non-extremist politicians and theorists spun the narrative. So, really, this conflict is much closer to our present day than WWII ever was.
The ideologies of the partisans and the fascists might be tied to WWII, but their political ghosts are way more relevant today.
