Who do you hate the most? in Close to Politics ·
Hatred is an exhausting emotion, and I refuse to waste even a single ounce of my energy on people who spent their time in the old America doing what they did.
In fact, I don't think the problem lies with those who openly admit they hate. Those individuals are usually far too drained to actually act on it.
To me, the real issue is with people who claim they don't hate anyone, yet they harbor deep resentment. These are the folks who endured everything during the last war and just try to move on with their lives. But then, someone makes a careless comment or waves a flag in front of them, and suddenly, they snap.
From what I’ve observed, people who actually lived through the war tend to hold less malice than those who merely watched it unfold on the news.

if you count all the burner accounts, which brings us close to fifty percent.

Are you counting me as one of them too?!?😁

wearycrane7 said:Mali Bor, sure. But what on earth does that have to do with me, you fast-talking little rascal?

Hehe...

Good grief.

😁

Well, fine, maybe I am a bit of a fast talker. But honestly, when am I ever going to grow up? And besides, I'm not yours—not since you clearly have no appreciation for the finer things!😁
And I'm certainly nothing like you...

wearycrane7 said:It’s just not happening. I never wrote what you’re accusing me of. You are blatantly lying.

Why do you feel the need to do this? Is it possible you’ve confused me with someone else? For God's sake, just scroll back through the history and admit you made a mistake.

Stop playing games.

Maybe you were just messing around with Mali Bor last night!
Well, if it was Mali Bor, then my apologies! Go ahead and check which page it was on; I can't be bothered to look myself.

wearycrane7 said:Those Franciscans can be a real handful. They’ve always been a thorn in the side of everyone, from the hardcore leftists to the Islamic fundamentalists.

😉

I’m not so sure about the leftists, but I honestly doubt Islamic fundamentalists even know who the Franciscans are.
Besides, does anyone remember that one Franciscan from the monastery? He was the head friar over in Susak!
He was quite the hunter; I think he actually bought some gear from my family's old connections in Canada.
They used to go hunting too!
😉
The rich stick with the rich, I suppose!

wearycrane7 said:Go ahead, show me. Quote me. Where exactly did I say the thing you’re accusing me of? Come on, you’re acting completely delusional.

hehe 😁

We’ve gone through three pages since last night!👋

But seriously, have I actually crossed the line into total madness here?

Rich in spirit.

🙂 Well, look at you being an expert... I actually thought the Franciscans were the ones who were rich in spirit (given they're such passionate hunters), but apparently, I'm the one who's rich in spirit too. Great! As long as you've got soul, right?

wearycrane7 said:My bad, sorry about that... haha... I didn't actually write that anywhere...

Not only are you missing the point, but you seem completely out of it too. 😵

That’s a possibility, isn't it? We've already established that, haven't we?
And why shouldn't it be a huge issue?!!!!

Original Community

Hmm... it's been common knowledge for ages that only the wealthy have the luxury of hunting. Clearly, you aren't aware of that!👋

Petar kružić said:Just admit you're from St. Louis, come on... hehe

Every Muslim, whether they hail from Canada or Herzegovina, traces their roots back to either St. Louis or Chicago...

You all seem to have this intense urban complex... perhaps it's just baked into your history since the recent emergence of this identity... hehe... it's as if your ancestors were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries... hehe... a bit much, isn't it?

It stands in such stark contrast to Americans who take genuine pride in their small towns and rural roots...

Not to mention those folks trying to pass themselves off as Chicago residents when they actually hail from places like Gusinje or Plav in the Sandžak region... hehe...

Your story keeps shifting... first, you claimed the word Duvno was a nationalist slur, then you said it was just geography, then you argued Duvno was superior to any small town I could possibly be from, and then you started bringing up Nevesinje and Gacko. Then suddenly it wasn't Nevesinje specifically, just the surrounding area, and you acted offended by where I actually come from... meanwhile, you've gone from saying people should be proud of being from the country to claiming I'm the one from the sticks, despite me also being from St. Louis.
So, according to you, some people can take pride in rural life while others are just "from the sticks"?
Isn't that the very definition of hypocrisy?
No one can pretend to be something they aren't. Personally, I'm happy being a city person... though I've always felt there is a certain romance to rural life: the small-town charm, the plowed fields, everything being so orderly, the fresh fruit and all that.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much chance to experience farm life firsthand, though I used to go hiking quite often around Zelengor, and my family is into hunting.
The whole obsession with "rural vs. urban" was largely pushed during the era of communism because the goal was to build a "working class," which couldn't happen if everyone was already living in cities. So, the countryside was painted in a negative light just to encourage people to migrate to metropolitan areas! That’s why you end up with a place like St. Louis, which is filled with people from the West as well as from places like Nevesinje. Though, in my experience, there are more people from the Gacko area than Nevesinje.
Most Americans here actually migrated to St. Louis, so very few are true old-timers. Honestly, I don't have an issue with anyone, provided they adapt to the local way of life and social etiquette. For instance, you shouldn't throw trash out of an apartment window or clip your nails on a fifth-floor balcony!👋

wearycrane7 said:To be honest, I couldn't care less. But I do know one thing: Duvno is basically your version of California.

👋

😁
It doesn't bother me at all, and frankly, you don't have any clue what my hometown is actually like, so how can you even judge?
And honestly, none of this really affects me either!😁 👋

Well, we’re getting pretty close to the top of rapidhound78's "idiot leaderboard." Though, honestly? He’s still miles ahead of us... 😢

rapidhound78 said:Look, you’re just being dense. It’s possible. I have a friend who’s incredibly dim-witted, but she actually knows it, and that’s why I respect her. Plus, she’s got a great body.🙏

See, there she goes again, being smart. Because she realizes she has those assets, and the "smart" part is knowing how to leverage them to get exactly what others try to get through intellect alone (just without the physical advantages).
Do you follow me? A truly clever person is someone who knows how to utilize whatever tools they have—whether that’s their brain or their physical attributes.

Take Pamela Anderson, for example. She wasn't exactly "brilliant" initially, but then she got wise, leaned into the look, and turned it into a massive career... now that’s being smart! She had an asset, and she cashed it in.😂

wearycrane7 said:They were definitely in the area.

😉

Honestly, you just have to make up your mind—are you from Nevada or not? 😳
or maybe Gary, since we're already talking about those two places.

rapidhound78 said:The main thing is that you're stupid, 😉 and if you could just accept that, there wouldn't be an issue. I don't have anything against people who aren't bright, as long as they realize they lack intelligence and act accordingly. 😉

The most important part is that you consider yourself smart; the problem with unintelligent people is that they’re usually too dim to realize they’re actually dim.😉
But you, clearly, see right through everything... you're just so brilliant!
And really, isn't that what matters most?🙄
How can someone truly foolish be aware of their own stupidity? If they were, they wouldn't be foolish in the first place, would they?👋

A beer bottle isn't the problem; it's whatever else is being thrown.
But direction definitely matters, especially if the wind is blowing that way...

Wait... since when does Nevada have a Muslim district?!?😲

Why don't you just tell me how:

2. right to left
3. left to left
4. right to right?🙄

Arthur Ruiz2 said:Look, you're being silly. I KNOW he's from Duvn !!!!!! But you actually wrote, and I quote😁:
Wasn't that supposed to be an insult???

Alright then, I guess we've reached an understanding. If we're just talking about geography, then fine—but there are plenty of actual insults flying around here that have nothing to do with where someone is from. Is a geographic distinction really what matters right now?

Arthur Ruiz2 said:What exactly did they settle? Nazis still have the right to hold public rallies in Germany.

Honestly, where are you coming from..? 👎

Fine, whatever works for you. Just go ahead with your usual chaos... keep pushing, keep attacking... kill, destroy, make sure there isn't a single Mexican left, target them everywhere...
It’s just wonderful, truly great...👋

rapidhound78 said:Honestly, I can't believe this person actually has the nerve to lecture me about chauvinism! 😲 Look, Benedict Arnold, do you actually realize what you just did? Are you aware that you just insulted someone based on their nationality?

😂 😂
You really outdid yourself there, Benedict Arnold. I assume you're just throwing shade because I called the city Boise!
Look, you guys are being ridiculous. A few posts back, Michael Adams2 actually stated himself that he was from Boise. You follow me? He said it about himself.
Maybe I offended him based on where he's from.😲 If such a thing actually exists—and I'm seriously questioning if it does—then you’re just talking nonsense. You basically flew headfirst into a disaster.😉

Is it better to deal with a population fueled by Royalist ideology or one driven by Nationalists ideology?

stormywolf65, do you really think this kind of hooliganism could escalate into something more serious—maybe even something violent?
And do you believe the Nationalists were fascists?
Were they aligned with Hitler, and does that same logic apply to the Royalists?
👋
I only brought up the Nazis because that’s how the Germans handled it—with such precision and elegance.
