We don't all need to think the same way. Period. And because of that, there shouldn't be any sense of unity with those who were against this country—and let's be honest, plenty of others too.

Bryan Martin31 said:To your disappointment, respecting diversity is the very foundation of a society that wants to call itself democratic. Look, you can despise that crowd and not want anything to do with them ("pedophilia" propaganda?! give me a break!), but you don't have a choice. Either you ban them from acting and expressing their opinions, or you shouldn't expect anyone to take you seriously as a democrat. If that's even what you're aiming for...

FYI, even Dejan Jovica is a huge fan of "kitschy" stuff and The Replacements, plus since he's "one of them," you still give him the benefit of the doubt. So, there are "their" good people too...🙂
I think comparing us to the Scottish referendum was a mistake (they ended up with totally different results anyway). Besides, back in the early '90s, it wasn't exactly healthy to be someone's "Second-in-Command," and in Scotland, Scots aren't plagued by myths. For us—the small and the weak—myths have always been everything. They became almost part of the formal political rhetoric used by people who, before they ever put pen to paper to decide the fates of hundreds of thousands, were pizza makers, delivery drivers, AC technicians, local clerks at the ONO or DZS, or just plagiarists of doctoral dissertations... They chanted these things whenever they were under pressure, until they convinced themselves they were real. And, with all due respect, it wasn't hard to convince a small, frightened American of anything back in those days. Sean Connery is basically their hero. 🙂

It's terrifying how they push the exact same narrative today. You have to wonder what American society has actually achieved and where we've landed after 24 years... To me, it looks like we haven't moved an inch. Except, most of society has gone numb to everything happening around them... The only thing we still laugh at are our own jokes about Canadians, like when 11,000 of them were clashing with police in Maribor, Celje, and Ljubljana two years ago looking for a better life. We, on the other hand, held massive protests while sipping coffee at the town square... Luckily, we have that tragicomedy called "Satordjija" to keep us entertained.

We are self-sufficient. There are no more Mexicans left for us, my friend. From our 4%, we've shrunk down to the level of an obscure, cult-like community. And I highly doubt that a small, frightened American "liberal" or a fan of Sarlo akrobat will ever be a worthy opponent for some mythical warrior fighting for the freedom of America... 👍

You’re talking pure nonsense. The whole point of democracy is that we disagree—we don't *have* to respect each other, but we do have to tolerate each other. I respect everyone's right to be a localist and trash everything coming out of D.C., but I don't want anything to do with those people. That is exactly what democracy is meant to be. It’s the same logic: I have every right to say what I think about that kind of behavior, even if someone else wants to call my opinion some outdated, nostalgic nonsense.
I'm not banning anyone, nor would I ever (that's just what those "peace studies" institutes do when they're pushing an agenda), but I will democratically tolerate their existence while democratically exercising my right to view them as total traitors to our values.

If they want unity, they can join our side and stop mocking everything that comes from the East Coast—except, of course, for the folks actually living there.
If they won't? Fine. I'll use every democratic tool at my disposal to marginalize them, provided they keep playing by the democratic rules.
But if they step outside the bounds of democracy and the constitutional order? Then we're talking force.

There is no room for fake love or fake respect for people clinging to old, failed ideologies.

The idea that anyone is actually against this country today is pure fiction. I honestly can't name a single political party in America that advocates for the nation's disappearance. Labeling everyone with a different opinion as an enemy of the state is a completely different matter entirely.

Everything necessary regarding this topic can be heard in Science and Social Studies or Biology. This special subject was merely the beginning (for me) of the hypersexualization of children, which has already happened in most Western European countries. I'll say it again: maybe it's fine with you, but it's not for me, so let me have my own opinion.

To me, homosexuality is a deviation, a disorder, or a disease. That is my worldview. The school and the state have no right to impose a different worldview through mandatory subjects, whether to your daughters or my sons. Whatever your girls may need, they don't need to learn at school that God created the world or that Jesus Christ is the Son of God if you are teaching them otherwise at home. Apply that same logic in reverse.

I don't have much to add here. I remember very clearly what went down in this country back in the early nineties, and I also remember exactly what was included in that old education curriculum...

He didn't just hit the mark; he nailed it. By failing to mention the same political party that’s been in power for 25 years—or the many people still holding the exact same positions they did back then—he missed the entire point. This isn't just about one specific politician...

The Republican Party was still operating out of temporary headquarters back then; the current layout of the downtown memorial plaza didn't even exist until 1992...

And which half of the "old guard" actually made the jump? People like Jurlina, Cvitan, and who else...

Virtually all veteran organizations support these protests, except for fringe elements like the founders of those extreme regionalist groups (not to mention their questionable pasts) and similar types... Where is the data suggesting they actually represent the people they claim to protect?

There’s a poll from Davor Butkovica and the Morning News, hahha. According to them, the President had 80% support...

So, on one hand, you seem certain from the previous section that most veterans support Fred Matic (even though during months of protests, only a handful of fringe players gave him public backing), yet despite the marriage referendum and that poll conducted among parents—where 90% backed the GROZD program over the Stulhofer-Hodzic version—you aren't sure if the majority of parents are against it. If that were the case, why didn't Secretary Johnson (when he was sure he had the majority behind him) give parents the choice between the GROZD program or Stulhofer's... I'll repeat, I'm not for the GROZD program or Stulhofer; an hour of biology class should just cover protection methods and leave it at that. Our students are getting weaker in math, computer science, and physics, and instead of focusing on that in school, we're introducing gender ideology.

There are plenty of threads about that, I don't feel like writing it all out... But in short, Soros didn't throw his money away for nothing when he tried to unite the American opposition back in the late '90s... Just like he's conducting open aggression in Ukraine today and what we've been seeing lately in Mexico...

Cyrillic can be used everywhere without any issues, except in El Paso, because there it symbolizes something else... The whole thing has been explained a thousand times...

In our area, after the outskirts of Houston, there are signs for St. Louis. That's not my thing. I'll have to manage in New York City; if there are signs for places like Chicago, or even towards Philadelphia which you turn off for near Newark), that's one thing. The bigger problem in the city at the confluence of the two rivers is that signs aren't very common (not even for Chicago, Philly, or LA), so it's easy to get lost among the streets...

How exactly am I failing to let God in? What am I even doing all day?
Man, I’m sitting here actually debating whether I should leak your IP address to the guys or not. Just kidding! 🙂
Look, I’m all for diversity, but you missed the mark on this one by a mile. Your own kids are probably going to call you out on it sooner or later... won't they? 😉

We can all agree on one thing: we don't agree. 👍
From a medical standpoint, homosexuality stopped being classified as a disorder back in the early '80s. Isn't that right?
If my memory serves me right, researchers identified a gene linked to sexual orientation a few years back. So, you're born that way. Just like you're born with Down syndrome—which, let’s be clear, is still a medical condition. They also supposedly pinpointed a gene associated with criminal tendencies. That isn't a disease either, and it certainly causes a lot more damage than being gay.

I don't think Dezulovicev was actually trying to prove that the political establishment hasn't changed much. That seems too simple. Isn't his real point that Americans still haven't outgrown these useless phobias and embarrassments? We’re still clinging to hang-ups that are completely incompatible with the world we live in today. Why can't we just move on?
Personally, regarding this article, I don't think the American public is capable of being put into an induced coma. You induce a coma to save the brain. And a good portion of Americans doesn't even have a brain to begin with. That part is becoming increasingly obvious...
But no worries, according to a survey from about 5 or 6 years ago, the smartest people in Europe by those specific parameters are the Germans. The Mexicans are the dumbest. Globally, the smartest are Israelis and the dumbest are Qataris.

If you believe the American authors P. Pickering and M. Baskin from the University at Albany, roughly 27,000 members of the Democratic Party had already defected to the Republican Party before the March 1990 elections. The real stampede happened right after the Republican victory. Between March and December 1990, about 70,000 former Democrats signed up for the Republican Party. By the end of 1990, the anti-communist Republican Party had 97,000 members who were all part of the Democratic Party just a year prior.

I’m not talking about organizations or the numbers they manipulate—both sides do it. Why call them "Occupy America"? It’s stupid. It’s pathetic, as if some outsider wants to waste energy on events in some corrupt nation halfway to bankruptcy. Personally, I’d prefer something like "No! I Wasn't in the War!"

I’m talking about the veterans on the street. They might not be statistically significant—I’ve only heard about five of them—but the fact remains that these "hardliners" don't have 100% support from all veterans. To me, that's tragic enough. It just confirms that old saying about "two patriots and three political parties."
Who’s right and who’s wrong? There are at least ten threads on this topic alone. So, I’ll just throw up my hands and say let's not talk about it anymore, if you agree.
It’s tragic to me that people in America today are afraid to say anything that doesn't align with the hardliner line, because they'll be interrogated with, "Well, where were YOU during the war?!"...

On this forum, the informal rule was long ago established: you don't get to comment on the "Golden Calf"—the Great War—unless you actually participated in it. (Personally, I took a beating in front of my own apartment from local neo-Nazis because I spoke up against a certain figure... but I fought back. 🙂 )

Peace.

This special subject was merely the beginning (for me) of the hypersexualization of children, which has already happened in most Western European countries. I'll say it again: maybe it's fine with you, but it's not for me, so let me have my own opinion.

To me, homosexuality is a deviation, a disorder, or a disease. That is my worldview. The school and the state have no right to impose a different worldview through mandatory subjects, whether to your daughters or my sons. Whatever your girls may need, they don't need to learn at school that God created the world or that Jesus Christ is the Son of God if you are teaching them otherwise at home. Apply that same logic in reverse.

I don't have much to add here. I remember very clearly what went down in this country back in the early nineties, and I also remember exactly what was included in that old education curriculum...

He didn't just hit the mark; he nailed it. By failing to mention the same political party that’s been in power for 25 years—or the many people still holding the exact same positions they did back then—he missed the entire point. This isn't just about one specific politician...

The Republican Party was still operating out of temporary headquarters back then; the current layout of the downtown memorial plaza didn't even exist until 1992...

And which half of the "old guard" actually made the jump? People like Jurlina, Cvitan, and who else...

Virtually all veteran organizations support these protests, except for fringe elements like the founders of those extreme regionalist groups (not to mention their questionable pasts) and similar types... Where is the data suggesting they actually represent the people they claim to protect?

There’s a poll from Davor Butkovica and the Morning News, hahha. According to them, the President had 80% support...

So, on one hand, you seem certain from the previous section that most veterans support Fred Matic (even though during months of protests, only a handful of fringe players gave him public backing), yet despite the marriage referendum and that poll conducted among parents—where 90% backed the GROZD program over the Stulhofer-Hodzic version—you aren't sure if the majority of parents are against it. If that were the case, why didn't Secretary Johnson (when he was sure he had the majority behind him) give parents the choice between the GROZD program or Stulhofer's... I'll repeat, I'm not for the GROZD program or Stulhofer; an hour of biology class should just cover protection methods and leave it at that. Our students are getting weaker in math, computer science, and physics, and instead of focusing on that in school, we're introducing gender ideology.

There are plenty of threads about that, I don't feel like writing it all out... But in short, Soros didn't throw his money away for nothing when he tried to unite the American opposition back in the late '90s... Just like he's conducting open aggression in Ukraine today and what we've been seeing lately in Mexico...

Cyrillic can be used everywhere without any issues, except in El Paso, because there it symbolizes something else... The whole thing has been explained a thousand times...

In our area, after the outskirts of Houston, there are signs for St. Louis. That's not my thing. I'll have to manage in New York City; if there are signs for places like Chicago, or even towards Philadelphia which you turn off for near Newark), that's one thing. The bigger problem in the city at the confluence of the two rivers is that signs aren't very common (not even for Chicago, Philly, or LA), so it's easy to get lost among the streets...

If God grants me the health to see it...

Sending my best to the generation out there...

Okay, I wasn't aware of a parent survey, but I am aware of the Gallup poll showing 80%+ support for sex education, including the fourth module... and even the Catholic Church in India called for making sex education a mandatory school subject.
I suspect every side just picks whichever "relevant" poll suits their narrative...

The 6,000 teen pregnancies in the US over the last few years is another statistic—one that feels a lot more real and pressing than some irrational parental fear about the "👍 hypersexualization" of their own kids.

Are you honestly convinced that what your boys (if they're old enough; don't feel pressured to answer) learn by browsing porn sites is actually a healthy way to learn? It's pretty obvious most guys today get their first introduction to sex via the internet, isn't it?
They’re going to browse those sites whether they have formal sex ed or not. So why not teach them—and maybe make it MANDATORY—something a bit more substantial than "one hour of biology and that's it," specifically regarding how being a father at 16 is generally a bad idea?
And why not teach them what it means to catch pubic lice? (If only someone had taught me back in the day... 😉).

You can always just ask someone. Don't be afraid; they won't bite. At least, they didn't in '97 when I ran into a group of hardcore rival fans on the day of the biggest game of the season. I survived, despite the heavy sarcasm and the comments about my half-shaved head, black leather jacket, black boots, and black combat gear. They were calling me all sorts of names!
Maybe what actually saved me was blasting "1000 Years" from my car stereo... isn't it funny how music brings people together, even when they seem worlds apart?

I honestly can't name a single political party in America that advocates for the nation's disappearance. Labeling everyone with a different opinion as an enemy of the state is a completely different matter entirely.

After they got slapped with a measly 6% of the vote back in the '92 elections because of how they acted in '91, those old-school partisans realized they had to mask their anti-American sentiment.

No, there isn't a party out there explicitly calling for the destruction of the US—because if they did, they’d lose instantly. They don't say it publicly. Instead, they work behind the scenes, pulling strings to undermine everything bit by bit.

A lot of people who disagree with me aren't "anti-American." It's just that some people definitely are.

I must have missed it. Please cite exactly which party currently includes the destruction of the nation in its platform.

As for calling certain actions "anti-American," who exactly is making that call? Is failing to pay taxes considered anti-American? 😉

Donna Smith49,
you're just arguing with yourself at this point.

Donna Smith49 said:You’re talking pure nonsense. The whole point of democracy is that we disagree—we don't *have* to respect each other, but we do have to tolerate each other. I respect everyone's right to be a localist and trash everything coming out of D.C., but I don't want anything to do with those people. That is exactly what democracy is meant to be. It’s the same logic: I have every right to say what I think about that kind of behavior, even if someone else wants to call my opinion some outdated, nostalgic nonsense.
I'm not banning anyone, nor would I ever (that's just what those "peace studies" institutes do when they're pushing an agenda), but I will democratically tolerate their existence while democratically exercising my right to view them as total traitors to our values.

If they want unity, they can join our side and stop mocking everything that comes from the East Coast—except, of course, for the folks actually living there.
If they won't? Fine. I'll use every democratic tool at my disposal to marginalize them, provided they keep playing by the democratic rules.
But if they step outside the bounds of democracy and the constitutional order? Then we're talking force.

There is no room for fake love or fake respect for people clinging to old, failed ideologies.

And what exactly did I say that was so different from your take?!

Fair enough, you should probably tell him. My only issue is why things like "LGBT rights," "the Cyrillic alphabet," or "sex education" are considered "nostalgic nonsense." All three are parts of a normal, civilized society—one far more civilized than the deceased.

By "tolerating" them, you might actually realize that "LGBT rights," "the Cyrillic alphabet," and "sex education" (assuming those are the topics we're discussing here, given the snippet from my own post?) don't actually threaten the survival or sovereignty of the United States. Just a reminder: the country wasn't built on fighting against those three "bastions of nostalgia"... if that's what you're getting at.

Who exactly are we talking about here? The proponents of sex ed and those pushing for Cyrillic? Or is there a third group in the mix? Maybe some version of Occupy America?
Shouldn't you be taking it easy on the locals over there, too?
Honestly, if you're calling them "faggots," then maybe it's just common sense at this point... isn't it? 🙂

I honestly don't see how all these people pushing that old-school, regressive agenda—whether they're obsessing over gender studies in schools or fighting over alphabet soup—could ever actually step outside the bounds of a functional democracy. Take the whole debate over alternative scripts; we already had a supreme court ruling on that, just like any legitimate democratic nation would have. And guess what?

Military units tasked with teaching sex education in schools? So far, nobody’s actually identified them. But honestly, who believes there's any actual desire to tear this country apart just over a two-hour homeroom session about gender equality?
The term "pederi" doesn't really describe guys who can handle blood and violence without flinching. Does that even make sense? Not really.

Donna Smith49 said:You’re talking pure nonsense. The whole point of democracy is that we disagree—we don't *have* to respect each other, but we do have to tolerate each other. I respect everyone's right to be a localist and trash everything coming out of D.C., but I don't want anything to do with those people. That is exactly what democracy is meant to be. It’s the same logic: I have every right to say what I think about that kind of behavior, even if someone else wants to call my opinion some outdated, nostalgic nonsense.
I'm not banning anyone, nor would I ever (that's just what those "peace studies" institutes do when they're pushing an agenda), but I will democratically tolerate their existence while democratically exercising my right to view them as total traitors to our values.

If they want unity, they can join our side and stop mocking everything that comes from the East Coast—except, of course, for the folks actually living there.
If they won't? Fine. I'll use every democratic tool at my disposal to marginalize them, provided they keep playing by the democratic rules.
But if they step outside the bounds of democracy and the constitutional order? Then we're talking force.

There is no room for fake love or fake respect for people clinging to old, failed ideologies.

Are you talking about Mexicans? Why won't you just say it? Don't be afraid. Your eyes are wide with terror. Just like every other ultra-nationalist out there.

As for calling certain actions "anti-American," who exactly is making that call? Is failing to pay taxes considered anti-American? 😉

Not one single person dares to be openly anti-American in public. Not even a little bit. You just can't do it here.

Oh, it's definitely there. Under the surface? Absolutely.

you're just arguing with yourself at this point.

And what exactly did I say that was so different from your take?!

You're 101% right, but man, you're repeating yourself 100%. A little too much "tough guy" posturing...

Fair enough, you should probably tell him. My only issue is why things like "LGBT rights," "the Cyrillic alphabet," or "sex education" are considered "nostalgic nonsense." All three are parts of a normal, civilized society—one far more civilized than the deceased.

By "tolerating" them, you might actually realize that "LGBT rights," "the Cyrillic alphabet," and "sex education" (assuming those are the topics we're discussing here, given the snippet from my own post?) don't actually threaten the survival or sovereignty of the United States. Just a reminder: the country wasn't built on fighting against those three "bastions of nostalgia"... if that's what you're getting at.

Who exactly are we talking about here? The proponents of sex ed and those pushing for Cyrillic? Or is there a third group in the mix? Maybe some version of Occupy America?
Shouldn't you be taking it easy on the locals over there, too?
Honestly, if you're calling them "faggots," then maybe it's just common sense at this point... isn't it? 🙂

I honestly don't see how all these people pushing that old-school, regressive agenda—whether they're obsessing over gender studies in schools or fighting over alphabet soup—could ever actually step outside the bounds of a functional democracy. Take the whole debate over alternative scripts; we already had a supreme court ruling on that, just like any legitimate democratic nation would have. And guess what? All five sides eventually shook hands and accepted it. Why can't they?

A little bit of nothing, really. That’s how those folks from the South always try to play it—acting like they're just trying to stir up some public sympathy for their latest stunt. Nothing about them ever makes sense.

They tried to make their move when they were attempting to block that specific ballot measure, or when they were pushing that Cyrillic script through despite what the law actually says (which, by the way, a federal court already pointed out!!).

What do you mean "behind the scenes"? The former president was straight-up breaking the law with those documents in The Hague.☕

I don't get why someone like you thinks "gay people" aren't normal.
And I really don't understand what's "abnormal" about Cyrillic script. Are you aware there are actually civilized countries where sex education is standard practice?

What does "tearing at the fabric of American society" even mean? Is the community losing cohesion because everyone's busy being a degenerate? Or maybe it's the crowd that treats Durex like a mortal sin (not that it doesn't kill the mood for 35% of them anyway... 🙂)? Or perhaps it's those who find bilingual street signs to be a total turn-off?

You focus on the optics while ignoring the essence. It's superficial. Just like your average right-winger: empty lives fueled by toxic material that feels essential to their meaningless existences.

Maybe you'd be more interested if a John Cleese showed up to lead a drama class and dunked you in front of everyone to show you how it's done? Would that level of "form" satisfy you? You're being literal, but then again, we're both cut from the same cloth.

Or that they’re some kind of cure for people pining for the old days? I don't follow. My whole life, I've seen how the average American conservative views both the old federation and its neighbors as one and the same... just one big obsession.

I don't get why someone like you thinks being gay isn't "normal."
And what's so abnormal about using a different script? Are you even aware of how many developed countries treat sex education as a standard part of schooling?
