I’ve never been one for the news, but Petranovic is alright—always was, always will be!
Honestly, as bad as this article is, and as pathetic as this so-called minister is, nothing beats reading the comments underneath. Seeing what this bottom-feeding crowd writes... it's exhausting. No one is ever going to change this small-town, peasant mentality that defines most Americans. I’ve said it a hundred times already, but I genuinely wonder if there's any nation more miserable, more submissive, or just plain stupider than the people living here between the Midwest and the coast.
I remember the old days pretty clearly, and honestly, those folks from the East and the South are probably even worse—because on top of all the usual traits we deal with here, they’re basically 90% pure rural peasants. They're an entire nation of them.
Back when the old Republican establishment held the reins, nobody expected anything good to happen—everyone just assumed things couldn't get any worse. But now? It’s a cold, hard fact that the current lot is even more incompetent than that crook Linec ever was. In general, these guys milk this poor working class way harder than those Mamić puppets in the police department. Between the sheer incompetence of guys like Jovanovic and how deeply everyone is tangled up in that mafia-style money web revolving around Bandić, Mamić, and the rest of them... it’s a mess. The police, the system, the legal apparatus—it's all rigged so everyone protects each other while money and power just spin in circles. Even Reagan, with his circle of wealthy families and similar ideas, looks like an amateur compared to these people today. Some countries have a mafia, but here, the mafia *is* the state.
And look, I can wrap my head around how that works, but I don't think even 1% of this population actually understands it. The rest are either brainwashed by useless ideological nonsense or they’re just born with that empty-headed, peasant mindset...
