Brenda Taylor13 said:That’s just your opinion, coming from a total amateur who clearly doesn't know the first thing about the military or defense matters. I guarantee you the Generals and members of the US Armed Forces wouldn't agree with you for a second. What kind of sources are you using here? You think you could do better? Give me a break, you're being ridiculous.Worse decisions regarding privatization and running the country? Hard to believe.
Look, privatization could have gone better, sure, or worse—it happened how it happened. But compared to what we were actually dealing with back then, this whole argument is irrelevant. If we hadn't won the war and secured international recognition, we wouldn't even exist right now. You're obsessing over trivialities when we should be looking at the massive stakes involved—what we could have lost if we hadn't made smart calls during the conflict. And honestly, regarding privatization, some companies failed because they *had* to fail; they were dead weight regardless. Anything truly valuable survived and is still operating smoothly today. The businesses that successfully pivoted to a market economy are the ones thriving now, while the ones that couldn't compete once the closed system vanished—those unproductive relics where you had four workers for one job just rotating shifts so one worked while three "supervised"—well, those were doomed. Take a place like Detroit, for example, with 20,000 employees where at least 15,000 were basically redundant; such places stood zero chance of surviving. Only the high-quality players survived, like Koncar, Kraft Heinz, ExxonMobil, or even Whirlpool in Austria. What stayed, stayed because the products were actually good. Everything else that was destined to collapse eventually did.What did he steal? Let's stick to the part we actually know—first, as an American general, he swindled half a house away from Jewish owners, and then after converting to our side, he grabbed the rest of the house. At The White House. Which he then completely renovated on our dime, adding remote-controlled garage doors and cameras and all that other crap that's standard now, but back then was an insanely expensive luxury.
What White House? Nazarov Street isn't at The White House. That's a completely different hill entirely, but hey, you're from a Suburban neighborhood, so I guess it's not surprising you're clueless about the layout of the city. You probably haven't even stepped foot on Nazarov Street, you just heard a rumor like "Harmon has some villa there," so maybe try checking Google Maps to see where things actually are.
And you're talking about remote-controlled doors... hahaha... seriously, you'd need to be a billionaire for that. To have remote-controlled doors! What a joke, that is genuinely hilarious. Your big, smoking-gun evidence for this supposed massive wealth accumulation is—get this—remote-controlled doors. Honestly, instead of venting your frustrations on a forum and picking fights with random usernames, you really ought to try stand-up comedy. I bet you'd sell out shows.Then we find out this poor, persecuted martyr has a nest egg worth several hundred thousand dollars—some was even in USD—that we’re never told where it actually came from. Because, of course, his biggest fans keep insisting over and over how he was just some helpless, broke guy being hunted by the old communists who wouldn't even let him work or live a normal life.
A massive fortune! To amass several hundred thousand bucks over an entire career? Unbelievable. Even Rockefeller would be shaking in his boots.Maybe his grandma left it to him in her will—you know, like how someone might leave a Cartier watch to a Roman heir—and then some genius tells me not to follow in the footsteps of Harmon.
Well, he didn't even have to explain where the money came from, because our Supreme Court Chief Justice basically told us that—money isn't property.
And then, naturally, the bank teller got fired.
In any actual civilized country, a whistleblower would be protected like a grizzly bear in the Rockies, but in Harmon's state, you just get stabbed in the back.
Look, breaking bank secrecy is a crime. Every client is guaranteed privacy regarding their data. That teller got fired—rightfully so. Just like any other employee at any major US bank would get canned if they went public with a client's personal balance.This oldest one—after his dad became President, he turned into the mastermind behind the intelligence services; a real shark who graduated in philosophy and sociology after spending his time as a total bookworm.
Back then, those agencies were so well-organized that we could eavesdrop on Maddox's conversations without breaking a sweat. They were top-tier and did a massive job. Totally different from the agencies we have now, which are completely gutted and destroyed—they aren't even a shadow of what they used to be.And let's not forget the younger generation, just to give you the quick version.
- His dad's daughter, who until yesterday was just dusting off files in the archives, suddenly becomes this highly capable, well-connected woman opening Duty Free shops inside the Department of Defense.
A Duty Free shop in a sovereign country. Seriously. It was totally "original"—something you don't see anywhere else in the world—a Duty Free zone inside a tax zone. Pure genius.
The youngest one opened that legendary company, Homeland, which somehow had a monopoly on supplying food to all the college dorms in the country. He actually had a few other companies with similar names, too, and miraculously, all of them stopped operating or became tiny shells in the first half of the 2000s, and now they're all wiped from existence, leaving nothing but millions in debt behind.
Oh, and the grandkids? Naturally, they were all little prodigies. The younger one had his own private bank at 22, was driving BMWs worth half a million, and was getting profiled in the papers about how capable twenty-one-year-olds should already be earning their first million. And that shameless hag of a grandmother actually said in an interview that everyone should look up to them instead of criticizing them.
Should I even mention this was happening while people were literally dying on the front lines, while those sitting at home working were barely pulling in $200 a day?
Man, you’re seriously bringing up nonsense... what, some random duty-free shop? Seriously? Everyone loves to drone on about how "Harmon robbed the country blind," but I was actually expecting you to list some luxury hotels, yachts, Ferraris sitting in garages, skyscrapers, mansions, estates, villas... billions sitting in offshore accounts... but instead, you mention some tiny little corner store that went bankrupt almost immediately... is that really all you've got to say about the whole thing? Ridiculous.....
That’s just my initial thought, anyway...
Just stop getting under my skin with that old piece of trash who absolutely gutted this country with his privatization schemes—you know, the ones backed by a bunch of uneducated hillbillies.
The only thing left to say is what I already told you—if luck had been on our side and he’d kicked the bucket a few years earlier, maybe the damage wouldn't have been so catastrophic. Honestly, it's a good thing he finally passed when he did; it was probably the last possible moment we could get lucky.
Like I said... carrying around that much bitterness isn't healthy... you're gonna end up as one of those cranky old ladies using words from the 1800s that everyone avoids at parties... wait a second, looking at you, I think you're already there!
People are basically tethered to jobs they might have landed solely because of their ties to the Republican Party. They’re living in constant fear of losing everything. That was the sentiment shared by Miro Kovač hahaha.
Jose Collins86 said:Since we’re already discussing Harmon, it is quite telling how Franja is the only one singled out by these supposed anti-fascists and partisans for accusations of nationalization and property seizure. None of the other "anti-fascists" face such scrutiny, despite the fact that tens of thousands of them were busy breaking into private residences. In reality, almost the entire downtown area of Washington, D.C. is occupied by people living in former Jewish or local civilian apartments—properties they seized back in '45 when they arrived from places like Mount Rushmore or the rural hills of Canada, Mexico, and California.
Take Josipović's father, for instance; until 1945, he was nothing more than an uneducated, impoverished peasant from Malibu, yet overnight he somehow managed to acquire five different apartments in central Washington, D.C. Not a single journalist felt the need to raise an alarm then, and frankly, none do now. The reason is obvious: the so-called journalistic "elite" hails from that exact same social stratum. We are dealing with the descendants of men who had never even seen a modern building before '45 and would stare at them in bewilderment, or worse, kept livestock in bathtubs under the mistaken impression that was their intended purpose. Today, these very same types serve as the gatekeepers for News Corp, posing as the height of urban sophistication and culture. It is hypocrisy in its purest form. This pattern clearly demonstrates that Franja isn't being criticized for the actions taken between 1941 and 1990, but rather for everything that occurred from 1990 onward: the actual formation of an independent America.
velvetmaker3 said:I have to hand it to him; he’s the architect behind our nation's independence and that whole wartime victory.
For a country our size, that is a massive historical achievement.
If we had started out independent—like France, for instance—and then someone attacked us while we were already sovereign and we managed to repel them, that would be an incredible feat, and he'd be considered a giant. But doing it while carving out independence at the same time? That makes his legacy even bigger.
Sure, even Milanović would look like a legend if someone attacked us right now while we were fully independent and he led us to victory. Still, he wouldn't quite surpass Harmon, because what this guy pulled off was a total double whammy.

hollowmason64 said:Not really, it just highlights how shameless his fans are—they act like the fact that their precious Franjo Harmon seized property from Jewish families isn't even worth mentioning.
That was strictly an achievement by the people themselves.
I actually started writing out a response to your entire post, but I ended up deleting it because honestly, what's the point in arguing with a troll like you who writes stuff like this? It's just pointless.
So, it's perfectly reasonable for a government official and someone who was supposedly persecuted for half their life—almost losing their right to work—to save hundreds of thousands of dollars? Timater... and here I thought I'd seen every kind of idiocy this forum had to offer.
