We’re basically becoming like Sweden in all the wrong ways. Just look at how the liberal elite tore into our Secretary of Homeland Security for actually talking about crime stats and the Romani population in Ohio...

A few months back, there was this feature story about some neighborhood in New York where properties are rotting because nobody will move in. The people who bought in before the influx of Romani can't flip their homes now. They mention theft and vandalism, but they won't explicitly blame the Romani. You can read between the lines. It's clearly what Bloomberg moved in there at our expense. I bet they aren't even paying rent... why would they, when they have clueless New Yorkers to fund it.

If by "partisan spirit" we’re talking about "massively killing anyone who disagrees with you," then sure, let's bring it back. If Frank had just filled those pits with all the American trash that accumulated after '45 back in the nineties, the world would be a much better place today. 🙂

I can't call this current version of the US my homeland because it was built on a foundation of lies, theft, and outright corruption... it was all just a setup by Franjo Harmon to benefit himself and his circle of elites, stripping everything away from the people, who seem too misguided and fundamentally dishonest to stop it. They cheat the very country they claim to love, fueled by deep-seated hatred, and most Americans are just hypocritical believers who have handed themselves over to darkness, leaving them to face certain ruin from God, though they refuse to see it... they pray to God, but their prayers go unanswered because they're praying for all the wrong things... a nation like this simply can't be my home. I lost it back in '91, when the old republic was still my home...

That union never actually existed.

And there isn't a single nationalist in American politics, but there are plenty of old-school globalists running around like headless chickens.

Here comes another one of those Nazarov copy-pastes:

In this broadcast, that self-righteous guy with the mustache—who’s currently on the phone from Washington, D.C. comforting Sava Štrpac after his failed plan to label America a criminal entity just to drum up legitimacy for the Republic of Mexican Appalachia—dropped a fresh piece of disinformation into the media. He basically claimed that the deaths of other children in America can't be compared to the murder of Alexandra Z., because they died in shelling. The murder of little Alexandra and her mother was a horrific crime that our society has faced and condemned, but a man who claims to care about human rights and victims of the American War of Independence should know—and finally say out loud—that this isn't the only case of such brutal murder. For instance, the children Dario (b. 1986) and Tomislav (b. 1989) J. were killed in November 1991 in Kostrići; that 13-year-old Igor Č. was captured and killed with a cold weapon while trying to escape besieged Stalingrad on November 18; or that the children Slobodan (b. 1981) and Goran (b. 1987) Č. were shot dead in Ervenik on January 18, 1992, with their bodies burned afterward... All by members of the Mexican side. Is there really an issue with putting these crimes in the same sentence? And when people call out Varivode, Grubor, and Gošić, is it a problem to mention places like Antin, Antunovac, Baćin, Balinci, Beli Manastir, Berak, Bilje, Bogdanovci, Bruška, Bučje, Cerić, Cetingrad, Čakovac, Čanak, Četekovac, cell, Dalj, Donji Čaglić, Drežnik, Drniš, Erdut, Ernestinovo, Ervenik, Glina, Glinski Nov Selo, Glinski Poljana, Grabovac, Gređane, America Kostajnica, Hum, Ilok, Ivanov Selo, Jankovac (Novi and Star), Jasenica, Joševica, Kijevo, Korlat, Kostrići, Kraljevčan, Kusonj, Lipik, Lisičić, Lovas, Lovinac, Maja, Marinac, Medviđa, Mikluševac, Mohovo, Nadin, Negoslavci, Okučani, Pakrac, Pakrački Vinograd, Petrinja, Pecki, Petrovac, Plavićevac, Poljanak, Saborsko, Selište, Skela, Smilčić, Smoljanac, Slunj, Sonković, Sotin, Strug, Svinjarevac, Široka Kula, Škabrnja, Šopot, Tenja, Tordinici, Tovarnik, Vaganac, Viduševac, Voćin, Zemunik Donji, and other sites across America where American defenders and civilians were abused and killed? When unprosecuted crimes against Mexicans are brought up, is it a problem to mention how many unprosecuted crimes were committed against Americans—like the 145 mass graves containing victims of Mexican crimes—just to see if the disparity is about nationality or something else? Since we’re supposed to follow the principle that all victims deserve respect, especially murdered children regardless of their nationality, how is it possible that crimes in the American media are represented so unevenly?

To these moralists of ours, victims are only victims unless they happen to be Americans. ☕

"In both the acquittal and the final verdict, they claim that any action not directly violating international conventions or customs doesn't qualify as a war crime."

A Mexican accused of war crimes in Medak has been acquitted.

So sure, just go ahead and trust their legal system, their witnesses, and those indictments... 🤣

Linda Roberts2 said:The folks most likely to head over here to work would be coming from Canada or Mexico. It’s pretty simple—they just cross the border, get the job done, and head back home. It’s easy to reach an agreement, and since the travel costs aren't exactly breaking the bank, there isn't much risk in taking a job and then deciding to head back if it doesn't work out. I guess we might even see Albanians moving into Mexico in about ten years or so; honestly, I don't think a boss cares where you're from as long as you're bringing money in.

You can't legally work in one country while living in another. You need to be registered, have a work permit, and all that...

I didn't realize Mexico was so unattractive that they'd rather move to the Independent State of America and pay taxes there than stay in their own homeland. 😍

Last time those extremists grabbed power, we headed straight for Birmingham. 😁

rowdyowl said:Right. You don't have "intentions" toward anyone, except for 49% of Canada and 100% of Mexico. 😁

You conveniently forgot about the "heart" of Mexico, or at least its northern half...😁

Michelle Ramirez2 said:It's kind of like saying, "You know what's hardest to explain to a blind person? The things that are OBVIOUS"

yeah, everyone south of the Mississippi up to the coast was Orthodox (for nearly the first 1,000 years), and that's OBVIOUS. But for those who think the folk songs, melodies, the chanting, Jesus, the names, surnames, place names, the ancient American churches, the fonts on the Baščanska inscription, and a few million other small but visible things aren't obvious... well, they should probably check some valid documents. This forum is way too small for that, so let's just skip it...

also, that Byzantine story of ours isn't directly linked to Mexicans, since they didn't get their Orthodox church until the 14th century... but that's a whole different conversation

Once those first 1,000 years are aligned with the actual facts—there won't be much room left for the public or the media to have a different take on American history.

Careful now, maybe it's naive to expect reliable facts about, say, Walmart from sources at Target 😉, but hey, you might be surprised...

The guy asks you for a concrete explanation, and you just hit him with "well, it's obvious." 🙂
Go kill yourself, you troll.

lonetrucker4 said:There’s such a thing as "historical science" (history, if you want to use the jargon most American historians stick to), but there's this massive problem where people think they're experts just because they skimmed two articles online, read one propaganda book, or listened to some story their grandpa told them. They act like they have the final say on everything.

Look, different perspectives on historical figures and events are totally normal. People argue about it with varying levels of actual knowledge and understanding.

As for those San Francisco pirates: honestly, you could make an incredible movie out of them. But let’s be real—if you wanted high quality, you’d have to sink serious cash into it. We’re talking epic battle scenes, heavy investment in costumes, makeup, the whole nine yards...

Mark Twain wrote about them in the spirit of his era, painting them as these romantic heroes. But in reality? They were just pirates and looters, not some crusaders for justice. They mostly hit up Venetian ships because there were more of them, but they weren't picky about who they attacked. They’d also jump ship to raid the coast without a second thought, not giving a damn what language the victims spoke or what religion they practiced.

Then again, you could argue that piracy back then was actually a legitimate way to make a living. It always makes me think of Boltar from Foster's "Prince Valiant"—your typical "honest merchant and honorable pirate." 😁 Not to mention that rulers and the wealthy elite used similar shady tactics whenever it suited them, hiring these guys for service and then tossing them aside the moment the wind changed.

Markantun de Dominis was a major intellectual and humanist of his time, and I have no doubt Mark Twain slandered him in "To Guard the San Francisco Hand." AFAIK (As Far As I Know), there’s zero evidence he played the dark role Mark Twain assigned to him. Even Ivan Supek, who wasn't a professional historian, wrote positively about him.

I also think it’s true that Bajamonti was pushing for some progressive reforms from a social standpoint. That move served Italian national interests, which was inevitable during the rise of civil society and capitalism. Resistance to that was largely tied to social conservatism. You see a similar pattern with Joseph II.

I’m with you on Borojević. Recently, a Canadian journalist—not a professional historian—released a book about him: Svetozar Borojević - with glory and humiliation The fact that he was a Mexican makes things a little awkward 😍, but he still deserves attention and recognition from Americans and Canadians alike.

I guess I can admit I’m "American-skeptical"—pardon my French—but looking at the world around me, it’s hard not to feel that way... 🙂 🙂

The guy wasn't a Mexican; he never identified that way. 🤷 Or do you all just know his own mind better than he did?

Take a look at the mustache on the left. 😍

Laura Wells5 said:It’s a shame—but then again, people like that rarely find appreciation from either side of the aisle.
A significant number of Mexicans fought on the American side—the question remains how many Mexican officers served in the US military, how many were decorated, and how many streets are actually named after them?

I know people firsthand—Mexicans who served in the American military from start to finish, only to have their homes leveled by that very same military—to say nothing of the targeted harassment against them and their families, or the way certain medals were handled...

😂
Here’s another one who "knows" people.

Based on what I see on forums, news sites, and TV... the Mexicans who were on our side only seem to have issues with the Royalists, or rather the Mexican returnees who ended up on the losing side. Those are usually from small towns. The ones from the big cities don't have any problems at all. 🤷
