Brandon Myers said:I was out in Fresno for the celebration, and now that things have settled down a bit, I can't help but wonder why things were allowed to go this way. Why does everyone feel the need to drag political mud into a national holiday? Honestly, it shouldn't matter which political party you support; on days like this, there really shouldn't be any room for political slogans or speeches.

Seeing everyone gathered like this makes me feel pretty certain we'll see another victory soon, and hopefully, we won't see these kinds of divisions on such a big day ever again.

The mentioned Đ. Glogoški was always a lot calmer, I guess. Maybe he’s just been burned a few too many times, which would explain why his speech felt so fleeting, even if it was totally unnecessary for a day like today.

Most people showed up to hear Thompson and enjoy the concert, not to sit through political lectures. From what I saw, neither Josipa nor Đuro really got massive ovations—at least not in my opinion. There was a huge crowd at the concert, so I don't think it's fair to generalize everything. Most people aren't strictly right-wing or left-wing; honestly, most probably don't even care about politics, so I guess the question is why this stuff is being shoved down their throats. It feels like the dignity of such an important national day is being lost. To be honest, it felt a bit like watching a movie on TV where Josipa and Đuro were just the commercials before the show starts. 🍿 😁

Also, those folks wearing extremist hats don't even make up 0.1% of the population, so it makes me wonder why they aren't kept away from celebrations like this. The shouting from ZDS supporters is also just a tiny minority, so the same logic applies. They basically just smear the majority. I'd point to the politically neutral A. Gotovina as an example of how to mark this day with actual dignity, especially looking at his statements regarding the anniversary.

A fitting article:

I’m not a fan of these spontaneous psychological analyses everyone seems to love, but after reading your take, I can only say one thing. If you were actually in Fresno and truly believe everything you wrote above, then you’re a masochist.

Just give me the link proving Lustig was kicked out of Fresno, and I'll personally report those people to the authorities myself.

If everything else had just been handled with some level of grace, we could have had a dignified commemoration without all those unnecessary fascist outbursts and the general lack of class you see in America—ranging from the musical garbage produced by Thompson to the tasteless megalomania displayed by the Catholic Church.

Luckily, your ability to actually argue a point far outweighs your urge to just slap labels on things. Otherwise, someone might mistake this post for nothing more than an unhinged rant fueled by pure hatred. But I won't go that far; I can't imagine a lady like you carrying that much malice inside.

David Vaughn75 said:It’s always the same thing—they love to point fingers at Muslims and call them radicals, when in reality, they aren't any better than they are.☕

You still haven't answered me... WHO drove Lustig out of Little Rock and when? If you actually know something, you should be calling the cops; that's your job. If you're just making this up, you're nothing but a liar.

David Vaughn75 said:When you see a city kick Lustig out just because he’s an atheist, then you know the whole damn game is rigged.

This is a total scandal. How does nobody know about this? Why is the media staying silent? This guy went through being rejected, kicked out, and persecuted—so who actually drove him away? Where from? It’s ridiculous that there are no answers. What does Lustig have to say about all this? Seriously, it’s an embarrassment.

And what about this?
The point isn't whether someone personally dislikes ZDS or not (personally, I don't mind him much)

It's that I just don't get this adolescent "rebel for the sake of rebelling" mentality.

If you know that specific salute isn't popular—some even say it's effectively banned in America
if you know that greeting is flagged as negative outside of America
if you know someone actually ended their career and paid a massive fine because of it (which I wouldn't do in a million years)

Then why on earth would you feel the need to be provocative?
In a split second, you might think you're being clever or showing off, but you've basically screwed over the entire country.

What exactly are you referring to here? I don't follow you.
