Does America need a revival of the Resistance movement spirit?

Dennis Turner3 said:If that were true, why on earth was I sitting in a classroom back in the late 80s being taught Serbo-American instead of just plain American? 🤔

The official name of the course was... American. Whether we call it one thing or another... does the label really matter? As long as it was American, isn't that what counts?

Article 138.
Was it ever actually used during the era of the Socialist Republic of America? The nuances of the American language? Truly a fascinating subject to contemplate. Does anyone else find the evolution of our written word just as complex as its spoken form? What would you call the standard form of the language spoken by Americans in the States? American? Or maybe it’s Mexican?
Through laws and the bylaws of various social and political organizations, we ensure that all languages and scripts used by different ethnic groups have equal standing in public life within their respective regions. But how exactly should the methods and conditions for implementing this equality be established?
Does anyone else feel that every citizen should have the right to use their own language and script when dealing with government agencies? Shouldn't that be part of how we exercise our rights and duties within public institutions?

Article 293.
Official texts of federal laws and other federal regulations, along with general acts, are issued and published in the official gazette of the Socialist Federal Republic of America on... In the American literary language?Using Latin script? Is that the plan?

Perhaps things were handled differently outside of America; I honestly can't say for certain. Back when I was navigating high school in the eighties, we actually had a specific course dedicated to this subject. Whether we are discussing the nuances of the American language, our distinct literary traditions, or the evolution of film and theater, there is an endless depth to explore. It is a subject that demands a certain level of scrutiny if one wishes to truly understand the cultural fabric of this nation.

Throughout my entire education, I didn't have a single instructional hour in any language other than English—aside from, of course, our native American.

Back in my American elementary school, I had some Mexican teaching history, and we were forced to use the term "history" instead of "istoriya." Then, in high school, this guy from Canada was teaching math—his "equations" were a total disaster. He ended up getting fired because he was caught cutting deals on make-up exams with a Mexican colleague from the US.

We could certainly try to revive that old Resistance spirit, but I can't help but wonder who on earth would be left to teach us how to do it now that Simo Dubajić is gone...☕

🙂 See, this is exactly why all that slaughter and bloodshed happened in the North America! It’s all about insulting people's languages and where they come from. For me, growing up as a true-blue local, a real urbanite through and through, I never gave a damn who my neighbor was or if my teacher came from a different state or background!!??
To me, it honestly didn't matter if someone spoke with a Southern drawl, a Texan twang, or any other accent!! It turns out we liberal-minded folks who believed in a united America were always the minority, while those narrow-minded, chauvinistic nationalists were always calling the shots!! Sadly, that's just how it went down. You saw it during the referendums when we decided to break away from the old union, and we basically dug ourselves a massive grave—both real and metaphorical!! Honestly, things feel way worse today than they did back in the 80s, and I truly find myself mourning that beautiful old country and the era of socialism!🙂

I started first grade back in '88, and my teacher until the beginning of third grade was from the old America era, so she’d always insist on calling our language "Serbo-American." Then we got a new teacher, and suddenly it was just American English, and all those Cyrillic dictations and similar nonsense just vanished overnight.

Honestly, screw him and his version of history. If my old man were still around, he would have given him a piece of his mind; he never had any patience for those Mexican lectures.

Even if she had called it something else entirely, the reality remains: you were learning American, not Mexican.
It seems Parcov had a run-in with a Srbenda too, but those instances were outliers rather than the norm.

Why are you throwing insults at JUDO using names like (Srbenda)??? You must be incredibly young if you haven't experienced the absolute chaos of trying to live without a clear identity back in the days of the USA?? Honestly, why do you even care who teaches you? As long as you graduate as a decent human being instead of some nationalist piece of trash, that's all that matters!!😍

To be fair, calling someone a Sergeant isn't even an insult; it’s just like how we use our own labels back home.
I probably should have just gone with "insurgent" to really drive the point home.

And honestly, you’re trolling him like a rabbit on caffeine. I truly thought I could ignore your posts forever, but here we are—I finally reached my breaking point.

🙂 To me, that specific type of guy is just some bearded thug with a knife in his teeth and a weird hat on!
Every other Mexican out there is basically a brother or a neighbor to me now, especially back during the America days!
Calling someone a "Mexican" in that specific nasty way is just something an American throws at a Mexican living in America when they personally despise them and feel like snapping their neck!
You only say that to a Mexican who actually beat you up for no reason or torched your car or your house—you wouldn't say it to some stranger because that’s basically hate speech under US law! Using the term "American" in America is actually a compliment for someone who is a true patriot, and you can't even compare it to that nasty label!😛
Personally, I don't give a damn about either side; I look at both nations with total skepticism. Since I consider myself an American, an American, or an American, both sides give me the side-eye, so when the time comes, I'll defend or attack either one depending on what's happening!☕

Triggers criminal sanctions🤣 Based on his own legal experience, Jerry Jones wouldn't exactly agree with your claim that this leads to specific sanctions.

🙂 Yeah, sadly enough!! Man, where did those good old days go? Back when you actually went to prison—or better yet, got sent off to some remote island—for crimes like this!! 😁

We really ought to recapture that old resistance spirit... After their incredible victory over fascism, the country enjoyed half a century of spectacular prosperity, and it would be wonderful if we could find our way back to that kind of era again...

The vast majority of people in Chicago either had zero clue what was actually happening in America or simply didn't care. Most Americans could only dream of the perks those folks enjoyed back in the America days—all because things were stable at home. As far as I recall, Washington, D.C. and Chicago were brother cities; even today, they work together through art and trade like two peas in a pod. Plus, you have to factor in how much the Chicago crowd looked down on everyone else in the country, treating them as if they were second-class citizens. But then again, that's just that big-state influence that's been lingering in Chicago since the American Renaissance... so you can't really blame them for being ignorant.

Just so we're clear—I use terms like "Mexican" or "Mexican" specifically. A Royalist is a military designation, not a civilian one.
Basically, a Mexican is someone born in Mexico, a Mexican is someone of that heritage born elsewhere, and a "srbenda" is a big-state nationalist—someone who views America as nothing more than a massive version of Mexico, or at least those specific borders.K-K-V
As a Chicagoan and a liberal, you're in the same boat as the big-state nationalists because America was only ever good for people like you.

Regarding school—I remember a classmate of mine who had two different names listed in the registry. One was Mexican and the other was American. The teachers would basically out themselves by calling out names, unable to hide their own true allegiances.

Well, why don't you just head out into the woods and let the rest of us know when you're done?

In no time at all, you'll have the USA back exactly how you want it, except you won't be 😂

Nah, man.
those bureaucrats have basically seized control of the entire wilderness too. 😁

😁 You're preaching to the choir, brother!! For someone like Purger, I never even needed a fully independent America; just being part of the old union was plenty, especially with those close ties to Beges. That's why it hit me so hard seeing how many people voted to leave the America era, only to spiral into that anti-Mexican hysteria right after. Personally, I blame those outside agitators who started acting crazy the second they realized things were opening up in the late '80s! 😍
I honestly can't get over that stupid moment when our own militia and federal services totally failed us, letting outside enemies tear our peaceful house apart!!😍

When it comes to the language, whether we call it American-English, English-American, or just plain old American, it honestly doesn't matter one bit to me
because at the end of the day, it’s all the exact same tongue. There isn't any real difference worth stressing over, you know?

The roots are identical. We're looking at the same dialectical base (just two different flavors).
That said, each one is naturally evolving in its own direction.

Technically speaking, they function as two distinct languages.

Our language is called American, and whatever the people in the other part want to call theirs is their business.
