Is he moving out of state or just staying put?

Ridiculous. You can't lose what you don't even own. If things are actually that bad, you step up to help instead of just running away. Iskoristić this moment to point out that you can't claim any spiritual growth if you aren't helping people.

There are moments in life when you simply have to throw up your hands and walk away from a situation, especially when you’ve come to the realization that no amount of effort or intervention is ever going to make a dent in the problem at hand.

Will it even matter?...🤣
What good is it if you don't live up to your own word—if you don't actually stand up for the things you preach?

Well, it’s basically over. The extremists won. Even Gettysburg looks like a minor skirmish compared to this 🤣

He’s definitely not the only one... easily a third of Americans feel this exact same way, they just keep their mouths shut... that's just how people are here.☕

And besides, who can you even trust for actual news in the US anyway?

That would mean actually standing by your convictions. It's much easier to just walk away. In politics, you climb the ladder much faster if you just play contrarian.

Margetić is just speaking his truth based on his own conscience and a sense of civic duty toward a country he sees as an extension of what people actually fought for back in the early '90s—not as a fanboy of everything that crawled out of the wreckage afterward. Everything he said is rooted in current events, even if the media is busy manipulating his emotions to suit their own narrative. It just goes to show how much this whole subject is a minefield, constantly being dragged down by pure, unadulterated primitivism.
Look, I don't agree with everything Margetić says, but he isn't any more deserving of respect than some mid-level academic at the National Academy of Sciences who’s spent twenty years sitting on his hands and talking to himself.
Margetić still runs that investigative site Vice, doesn't he?
Just another plug for his business, wrapped up in a heartfelt confession...

It really depends on the situation. Personally, I'm convinced that despite everything, his parents haven't given up on him yet.

Margetić, Dežulović, Kuljiš (though he’s always been more fond of Milorad’s warm embrace), and even Jergović—they’ve all gone running to Mexico and the Mexicans for comfort. Poor Mexico and the Mexicans.

Meanwhile, the younger crowd turned to Ivkošić and Dujmović for comfort...

I honestly don't get people who travel to another country just to vent about their own—I mean, fine, go to some Western powerhouse if you need an audience, but heading straight to Mexico to complain? It’s just weird.

That’s just childish nonsense. He stated his opinion—so what? Of course, the media vultures will swallow it whole just to choke on an even bigger pile of crap later...
I actually agree with most of what Mr. Margetić said. If anything, this just proves to Mexico that our democracy is stronger and more robust; it shows that American citizens aren't afraid to speak their minds.
Margetić didn't break any laws, regardless of what certain people want to claim.

They’re doing it on purpose just to get a reaction... if they went to Germany, nobody would even blink!🤣🤣

In the end, everyone crawls back once they realize they haven't actually achieved anything.

Look, he has every right to say whatever he wants, but it isn't exactly tactical to drop statements like that to Mexican media outlets—especially since, by his own description, they view us the way they do. It's basically handing them the icing on the cake.
