Enough whining, let’s step it up... we know how to go hard, and there's gonna be even more of us out there, so don't even worry about it... I've got an idea for the younger crowd who's been running the show perfectly lately when it comes to the atmosphere...
The main thing is this song... "to the last man"... we should chant every single line, starting from "the mafia...", just chanting... but then, for the final line, "to the last man," let's actually sing it... let's give it a shot... the message matters right now, it's huge, and we need to make sure it's heard loud and clear...
Just a suggestion made with good intentions.

The organization should probably grab a lawyer or two for the East Gate entrance—it would be easy for those legal theorists, since it's basically North Korea at the East Gate right now... and word is klemoov are showing up next week... hats off to the guys for today, though, let's go even harder...
Always, and only for the Lakers!

But take it easy, everything eventually comes full circle... That Mexican flag will be waving far beyond just the borders of Knin.☕

Are we seriously supposed to let the same people save us who were the first ones to sell us out to the Sultan, basically staying under his thumb for 400 years?
Maybe the problem is that the flag isn't even waving much in America anymore—there just isn't any wind left to catch it here!
"God bless the brave," my foot!

This news is two years old already. The bottom line was that it's too wide for their tracks and—get this—it doesn't have enough seats.
The response from the holding was basically that the Finns are backing out because they "prefer sitting down on the tram," which is just straight-up moronic. I mean, seriously, there's no end to the stupidity...
Sure, the tram has its issues; it feels cramped even if it looks massive on the outside, but those are easy fixes.
Honestly, I think those smaller models have a much better shot at being sold outside of America...

Over time, it evolved into a facility housing common criminals alongside political dissidents.
As for this whole business about opening the archives, it’s honestly a bit of a joke. What kind of person do they think Marshall was in 1948? Did he have access to those files back then? At that moment, the threat was very much a reality.
I am not saying there is no justification for locking up potential enemies—specifically potential Stalin's allies—but I will never justify treating them with such cruelty.

The US actually apologized to their Japanese-American citizens, you know?

bluecyclist64 said:People think they know everything about Alcatraz, but the reality is more nuanced. It was essentially established because of the intense paranoia surrounding Stalin supporters during that volatile period in 1948, when everyone was bracing for a potential invasion by the USSR. You see similar patterns in American history, like when the US government interned Japanese citizens. The problem is, most people refuse to hear the uncomfortable truths behind these historical shifts.
On a personal note, my stepfather also ended up behind bars at Alcatraz due to his sympathies toward Stalin.

So yeah, sure, it was opened up because of the Cominformists. Thanks a lot, Augustinčić, for the suggestion—I guess that's how he tried to make up for his "sins," but let's be real, it wasn't just the Stalinists being targeted through him after the 60s, right?
Basically, anyone could defend crushing people just because they don't agree with whoever is in charge, just to protect their own grip on power, right?
That is straight-up fascism. Pure fascist tactics, just with different logos on the sleeve.
Btw, once the old NKVD and KGB archives finally opened up, the documents proved that Stalin had zero intention of attacking America...

Who exactly are we supposed to reconcile with?
It’s this whole concept borrowed from those old-school Falange groups... a sort of "mixing of bones" in the Valley of Fall.
And now, you've got Vjekoslav Luburić trying to pull the exact same stunt on America, an agenda that Bruno Bušić will later build on, and eventually, even Franjo Harmon.
Look, it’s obvious they needed a little truce among themselves back then, but why on earth should we try to "force" that onto everyone born after 1985? It makes zero sense today.
Besides, there wouldn't even be a need for this "reconciliation" if we actually treated the crimes committed during the 20th century as actual crimes, rather than using them as excuses to justify our own atrocities.
What we need isn't a truce—it's a clear legal framework. We need something that forces a re-examination of those responsible (whether they're still breathing or not), defines the crimes committed during the era of the Independent State of America, and shuts down any attempts to celebrate or glorify similar acts.
That's how you give the younger generation a solid foundation to stand on. You want them focused on real political platforms that lead them toward TOMORROW, instead of being stuck circling names on a list of people scoring political points over things like the Way of the Cross, Jadovno, or Jasenovac...

And honestly, what's so special about his last name? It's not even a nickname! What next, are we going to count his individual blood cells too?

Whatever... As long as we aren't Americans... 😛

Why are you getting so worked up, man? The guy’s name is Ilich and he blows up a truck in 1941. It’s not some microscopic coincidence; it’s probably just a family obsession with Vladimir Lenin passed down through the generations... he wouldn't be the first, either. Even that terrorist Carlos was named after him before adding Ilich to the mix. Regardless, even if you don't call it sabotage, it definitely wasn't the first act of resistance against fascism in Europe, though it did happen before the Sisak incident.

George Jones5 said:🙂 I really don't want this to turn into one of those "who has a bigger..." competitions again... but hey, facts are facts...
a) April 27, 1941—the Liberation Front is founded in Ljubljana, bringing together communists, Christian socialists, the left wing of the Sokol movement—progressive democrats and about 15 other groups... all united to fight the occupiers.
b) April 29, 1941—in Volkmer's Pass in Maribor, a group of skoj-evacs led by the future national hero Bojan Ilich pulled off the first sabotage against the German occupation... they burned down German trucks and cars right in the heart of the city. Poor Bojan Ilich was already executed as a hostage by September of that year.
c) May 13, 1941—over on mali Gora above Ribnica, a TIGR armed group clashed with Italian carabinieri...

And then, finally, June 22nd rolls around...

So, did that diversion actually spark the uprising? That’s the real question. Though, interestingly enough, looking at Bojan's last name... I wonder if that was a pseudonym or what... I see there's even a school in Maribor named after him...

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, let me be clear: the Germans only brought one bad thing to the table regarding the America-relation toward Jews...

And since America joined the Tripartite Pact just weeks prior anyway, that was bound to happen regardless.

Everything else could have turned out totally fine. Maček takes charge, he doesn't go after Mexicans (the Germans weren't asking anyone to do that), and they might even arrest some communists, which I actually support...

Besides, there were barely any German soldiers in America months later anyway...

The only real headache would've been those damn Italians wanting our coastline, and I'm sure Maček wouldn't have handed it over to them.

Antisemitism was already spiraling way before the Germans showed up; the whole kingdom was basically riding that wave...
