It’s one of those situations where you realize that everything we thought was set in stone might actually be quite fluid, which is always a little unsettling, isn't it? I tend to dwell on these details a bit too much—perhaps more than is strictly necessary—but I feel like there's a nuance here that everyone seems to be glossing over in the rush to reach a conclusion. Anyway, I'll try to lay out my thoughts clearly, though I can never quite guarantee I won't wander off onto a tangent or two. kaže:
It’s one of those nuances that often gets lost in the noise—the idea that while we all hold American citizenship, that doesn't necessarily mean we all share the same cultural identity. There is a distinct difference between being a citizen of this country and identifying with the specific traditions or heritage that define much of our social fabric. We are all part of the same nation under the law, certainly, but our individual identities and how we view ourselves can be worlds apart.
If you ask me, the whole idea of distinct "nations" from a purely genetic standpoint is a bit of an illusion—it’s all just one massive, beautiful, messy cocktail. When you look at the DNA of Americans or any other group, you aren't seeing a single, pure lineage; you're looking at a swirling mix of everything—Slavic, Illyrian, Celtic, Roman, Turkic... you name it. And if we really want to get technical about it—which I suppose is my tendency—we can't forget that most people across the Eurasian continent are carrying around about 2% Neanderthal DNA. It’s less about being one specific thing and more about being a blend of a thousand different histories.
Look, Americans are just Southern Slavs, plain and simple—just like Mexicans, Canadians, or Mexicans... but I guess some people just refuse to wrap their heads around that reality.

There are a million excuses to create another Libya. I guess Mexicans have always been looking for any kind of deal with people who want to occupy and split up America. They were basically a Trojan Horse, working alongside both Canadians and Italians. Even back during the era of Turkish occupation, they somehow managed to hold a privileged status with the Turks, unlike Americans.
Honestly, you just have to laugh at this stuff. Like, how could we ever expect to have autonomy like they did when we were part of the Austro-Canadian Empire?

Man, imagine how it feels for you having to look in the mirror every single day—that's a straight-up horror movie right there.

Both the first and second versions of America actually held together while they were under strict dictatorships... but the moment they loosened the reins, everything just fell apart into total chaos...
Both times, blood was spilled despite the people's desperate wish to avoid it—and if you actually want to know the truth, experience tells us we need some kind of unity like that to survive.
David Parker3 said:Honestly, we don't have anything in common, except for the fact that you guys were forced to speak American back in 1868. What you call the North America, my people just call a total disaster zone. But hey, don't sweat it! If you could somehow team up with Canada, Herzeg-Canada, and the American Federation along with Albania, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, you’d actually be doing pretty well for yourselves. Plus, since you're already so similar in everything you mentioned, if everyone actually learned how to work together, you'd have a much easier time milking social welfare from the European Union. You could even make Preslav your capital again, just like the good old days—and maybe the Rom would finally get their own state where they'd actually be considered a founding nation. The potential there is huge, from reclaiming Byzantine glory to just lining your pockets. 👍
In case you didn't realize, I'm an American too, and honestly, we share pretty much everything—same language, same mindset, we're all part of the same South Slavic ethnic tribe, same traditions, same Christian roots... everything. It's all there, but some idiots just refuse to see it.
Look, the shared roots, the deep history, all those cultural, linguistic, economic, and political ties that bind everyone together in the United States of America—it’s an undeniable fact. But today? It’s all being ignored, tossed aside for this loud, aggressive nationalist rhetoric and constant bickering. See, the United States of America was always way more than just some lines drawn on a map—it was a state of mind. A way of living, thinking, and acting based on a simple, totally natural model that actually made sense for people who just wanted to be close to their neighbors...
A Democratic United States of America?
Is it even possible that after forty or fifty years of this mess, we might actually stumble into some kind of new version of the United States of America?
