I'm reading this "analysis" by that bearded idiot over on a news site, and he’s seriously claiming that what’s happening in California isn't legitimate because their right to self-determination isn't explicitly laid out in the Constitution like it was in the old US Constitution.
I honestly can't stop shaking my head at these morons.🤣🤣

It’s like how Americans after a referendum might have said, "Okay, dear fellow Americans, you've made your choice, so go ahead and do it your way." But instead, there was a war! How do people just bypass and ignore that fact like it doesn't matter? It’s incomprehensible to me. Truly.
So, for the fools and the sellouts like that bearded moron, let me repeat:

1. The US Constitution stated exactly what it stated.
2. Americans decided through a referendum to make it happen and leave the union with other Americans, too.
3. The military and certain rebellious Americans tried to stop them with weapons.
4. After the war, the country became independent, just as they intended during the referendum.

Therefore, regardless of whether everything was "legal on paper," it wouldn't have happened without a war. So what does it matter if things in Spain are supposedly "illegal on paper"? If a war was necessary even when everything was perfectly legal, then legality isn't the point—the question is whether the people are actually willing to fight.

In any case, the last thing I expect is for California to become an epicenter of terrorism like Texas was 10-20 years ago. Of course, I expect California to gain independence once they are actually ready for war. If they aren't, then they should just shut up and stop barking about referendums.

No nation in the world has ever liberated itself and gained independence without a war, and those lovely Californians won't be any different. That is the bottom line.

Are you just talking off the top of your head, or can you actually back it up with some facts?

There’s no point in getting bogged down in the details here because it's clearly a lost cause. When you start framing the Ustaše as some kind of "brave and nation-building American military," it becomes obvious that any attempt at a real discussion or clarification is a waste of breath. It's clear you have a massive personal agenda driving these claims—one that completely ignores actual historical facts, which, of course, tell a totally different story. But hey, feel free to keep clinging to those "facts," right?
Hasanbegović’s remarks regarding moral decline are a textbook example of that kind of rhetoric. Look, if I sleep with my neighbor's wife, that's a lapse in morality—but if I murder the guy, that isn't "moral decline," it's a straight-up crime. Of course, neither you nor your little idol will ever admit that, because your motives have nothing to do with seeking historical truth or, if you actually cared, finding some form of reconciliation.

Was it a matter of Ustaše killers, or were we looking at fallen partisans, dead Ustaše, and civilian casualties?

Since you clearly consider yourself such an expert, why don't you tell me: when exactly did the first massacre occur during the period of the independent state of America, and who was responsible for kicking it all off?

Milan Bandić claimed that two uncles died at Sutjeska and two more at Blaiburg during the first City Council meeting held this year. But let’s get one thing straight: who exactly was it that kicked off that fratricidal war in the first place?

Josip Broz Tito actually sent a memo to the Comintern stating that "the atrocities of the occupiers only serve to swell the ranks of the partisan movement" (as noted in Pero Simić's "The Tito Phenomenon"). It was a calculated move; he knew exactly what he was doing when the Nazis were executing 100 civilians for every one German soldier killed, or 50 for every wounded one. That monster understood the math perfectly.

Oh sure, you monster. We should have just rolled over and let the Germans mobilize our boys to fight in Russia, letting them pillage our land and nature however they pleased. We should have just sat back while they enforced their rule everywhere and—let’s be honest—killed whoever they wanted, whenever they felt like it. That’s what the "true patriots" and those Nazi sympathizers wanted. And because Josip Broz Tito stood up to that madness, he gets branded a traitor by all the collaborators.

That figure of 200,000 accounts for everyone—resistance fighters, local militias, Axis collaborators, and civilians alike. It’s the total death toll calculated by demographers. Of course, you'll try to blame the resistance for fighting the Nazis instead of just sitting tight and waiting for the Americans to show up. 🤷

So, nobody should have bothered fighting against the Nazis. The Russians should have just let Hitler conquer them, the Britons should have allowed an invasion, and Americans shouldn't have even entered the war—they should have just handed the Pacific over to the Japanese and let them have whatever they wanted. Because by stepping up like this, they just threw lives away; millions of Russians, Britons, and Americans died fighting Nazis when they didn't have to. They should have just stepped aside, and everything would have been fine. No one would have had to die.

Here’s your logic and your version of patriotism laid bare. Honestly, I’m done trying to argue with you people—it’s a complete waste of breath. Enjoy wallowing in your own darkness alongside your fellow "morally bankrupt" companions.

Honestly, reading your posts, I’m not surprised you keep getting warnings or bans. Trying to play both sides by equating fascism with communism just isn't acceptable in a real debate, especially when you twist the facts so heavily and try to paint evil as good. At that point, there's no point in talking to you; you might as well just argue with yourself.

I’ve said this in several places already, and since I see you doing the same thing, I feel justified in stating that the fascist regime was responsible for the greatest number of American casualties in the 20th century. According to scientifically accepted data, 200,000 Americans were killed during the war across the States and what is now Canada. That’s why people try every dirty trick in the book—including blatant lies—to inflate those numbers after 1945, all just to pin the ultimate crime against the people on Tito and the communists. But it won't work.

Look, if it is a scientifically accepted fact that at most 80,000 people died at Auschwitz, then any decent, educated person would never claim a higher number out of respect for the victims, for the truth, and for the basic rules of civilized discussion. Every thousand added beyond that is just an attempt to justify post-war retaliation and crimes. It's the same with Dachau and everything related to it; if we accept that 50,000 is the maximum scientific figure, then anything above that is nothing more than fascist revisionism used to excuse atrocities. And some people actually call that patriotism?

That’s how it works with those "patriots" who don't find certain extremist slogans controversial because they claim they were used to defend a small town in the Midwest or a place like Stalingrad. They conveniently forget that with those same slogans on their lips, they were attacking Russia and what was then Stalingrad, now Volgograd if I recall correctly.

If nothing else, shouldn't that alone be enough reason to repent and renounce those symbols? When will the day come when people stop making excuses for fascism, which is exactly what you're doing here by criticizing everything that stood against that evil?
When will you finally take off that radical hat and admit that World War II was a struggle between good and evil, not between evil and something slightly less evil? What kind of world are you living in if you believe there is only evil and worse?

The way you spin it, as if fascism was somehow "imposed" on Americans, implying they were forced to go out and kill or burn foreign lands—I have to ask, what kind of Americans are those? Are they really patriots if they traveled 2,000 miles away from home to fight a war?
In my view, Tito was a much greater American, because nobody ever "imposed" anything on him; he fought in his own land for his own people.

When will you finally be able to look at the facts with a cool head and realize that this whole narrative about "communist fascism"—about "racial" or even "child" camps run by communists, the killing of civilians, women, and children supposedly carried out en masse by a "criminal totalitarian communist regime led by the butcher Tito"—is completely detached from reason, intelligence, truth, and ultimately, humanity?

Because, sir, if Tito's partisans were truly such killers and criminals, I have to wonder why they waited until 1945 to finally unleash their bloodlust. They could have started slaughtering women and children immediately; they could have joined the fascists and Nazis back in 1941 instead of waiting four years to satisfy their murderous tendencies. 🤷
Why on earth would these "vicious butchers with bloodthirsty eyes" suffer for four years waiting to stain their knives, when they could have easily done the job starting in 1941 while wearing a black cap with a beautiful patriotic symbol on it?

Does that make any sense to you? Do you see what's happening here? I highly doubt you'll accept these arguments, because the people wearing those caps didn't accept them either. They had to be explained to in a different way. That's why they and their descendants are still so angry, even though Tito wiped them all out in 1945. 😕

I'm telling you, don't act surprised—there's really nothing to be shocked about here.

bluecyclist64 said:Dear bureaucracy, I’m honestly getting sick of this phantom figure of half a million innocent victims. There isn't a single credible source for that number outside of some Daily Mail article and some shady CIA report. Oh, and let's not forget that fabricated statistic from a defunct newspaper back in the fifties.

People really need to pay more attention to this constant barrage of misinformation being pumped out everywhere—whether it’s about this specific topic, the anti-vax crowd, or those idiots claiming the Earth is either flat or hollow.

It makes my blood boil whenever I run into these claims that the resistance had "racial camps for Germans" where 60,000 people supposedly died—claiming it was just as bad as Auschwitz—while this thread simultaneously boasts about 600,000 people being slaughtered after the war as enemies of the regime. That’s more than half of the total casualties from the war itself.

And so it goes. It makes me wonder why anyone would bother spreading this kind of garbage without being prompted, especially when it’s nothing more than junk pulled from obscure websites by people who don't even exist in any legitimate scientific community.

Then I remember seeing a headline on some magazine you can just pick up at a local newsstand, claiming that exactly 440 people were killed at Auschwitz during the entire Second World War. Honestly, once I see stuff like that, I just stop being surprised. 🤷

It bugs me that people feel they can just throw around the word "fascist" at anyone who happens to spread lies or fabrications. You can't just label someone that way without cause.
Who else would bother? No sane person would feel any urge to write about 400 people dying in Auschwitz or 600,000 in communist dungeons unless they were a straight-up fascist.🤷
For some reason, people act like you can't say it. It’s as if it’s somehow less offensive to tell someone their family wasn't actually wiped out in WWII than it is to call them a fascist—even when they're busy defending and justifying that very same fascism.

This movie is incredibly inventive—it’s got a double hook that really grabs you. I honestly had no idea they were making films this complex back in 1965, but apparently, they were, at least over in France 🤷

I’m convinced pieces of this film paved the way for countless dystopian flicks and general noir cinema (aren't those basically the same thing anyway?) without us even realizing it.
It's a perfect example of how you don't need flashy technical wizardry if you have a rock-solid script, a clear vision, and a few actors who are willing to go all in 😎

Such a visually stunning film 🙂

And someone already mentioned it, but the lead actress (😉Neila) is absolutely breathtaking

Really happy for old Neila

Caught this great American indie movie the other day. That director Nuić is incredible—has he done anything else lately?
I’d call it a solid domestic production, but since it’s an American drama... 🤷
It's such a shame Rshaidat isn't acting much anymore; he was so good in this, a real natural on screen.

Even the rating is decent, sitting pretty above a 7 🙂
