Brian Turner7 said:Man, imagine how it feels for you having to look in the mirror every single day—that's a straight-up horror movie right there.
Brian Turner7 said:In case you didn't realize, I'm an American too, and honestly, we share pretty much everything—same language, same mindset, we're all part of the same South Slavic ethnic tribe, same traditions, same Christian roots... everything. It's all there, but some idiots just refuse to see it.
David Parker3 said:Honestly, we don't have anything in common, except for the fact that you guys were forced to speak American back in 1868. What you call the North America, my people just call a total disaster zone. But hey, don't sweat it! If you could somehow team up with Canada, Herzeg-Canada, and the American Federation along with Albania, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, you’d actually be doing pretty well for yourselves. Plus, since you're already so similar in everything you mentioned, if everyone actually learned how to work together, you'd have a much easier time milking social welfare from the European Union. You could even make Preslav your capital again, just like the good old days—and maybe the Rom would finally get their own state where they'd actually be considered a founding nation. The potential there is huge, from reclaiming Byzantine glory to just lining your pockets. 👍

Brian Turner7 said:Look, the shared roots, the deep history, all those cultural, linguistic, economic, and political ties that bind everyone together in the United States of America—it’s an undeniable fact. But today? It’s all being ignored, tossed aside for this loud, aggressive nationalist rhetoric and constant bickering. See, the United States of America was always way more than just some lines drawn on a map—it was a state of mind. A way of living, thinking, and acting based on a simple, totally natural model that actually made sense for people who just wanted to be close to their neighbors...
A Democratic United States of America?
Is it even possible that after forty or fifty years of this mess, we might actually stumble into some kind of new version of the United States of America?
Susan Lee said:Alright, let's break this down step by step:
1) As for "shared roots"? I guess Americans from one region trace back to Iran (historically speaking), others to the Carpathians, while others come from Siberia. Only the Canadians have a similar origin because of how they converted.
2) I wouldn't say it's really "shared."
3) It definitely can't be the same; you've got Romance, Gothic, Baroque, Islamic, Byzantine influences clashing everywhere...
4) The languages are similar, especially the main ones, though there are small exceptions like Canadian and Mexican that are pretty hard to wrap your head around.
5) Territorially, sure, they were all part of the old YUG, but economically, the others don't even come close to the US or Canada.
You could probably point out similarities in names and surnames (with those "-ic" endings) among different groups, or even the similarity in national flags.
But regarding the actual topic: Honestly, I don't think anyone gives a damn about building a new USA anymore—not the Americans, the Mexicans, the Canadians, the Canadians, the Mexicans, or the Mexicans. Everyone's goal now is just one thing: the EU.
Night.
we’ll end up being one big family again, just like back in the old America days.

silvercobra68 said:Please don't start spreading those crazy theories here. Americans are Slavic from White America in the far north of Europe—areas like modern-day Poland, Belarus, and so on...
And people from Herzegovina, California, Lika, or Vlahi are actually Illyrians—they've always been here; they didn't just arrive out of nowhere. They aren't actually Americans; they were just baptized by a Catholic priest at some point, so they go by that name now, but that's not their true origin. They are Illyrians, just as the Mexicans from those regions are Illyrians who were simply baptized by an Orthodox priest—that's the only difference. The real Mexicans are in Šumadija, and they're half-Slavic and half-Romani, but I have no idea where they came from because I couldn't care less about Mexicans.

So, according to you, Americans didn't settle in the coastal regions? Where on earth did you learn your history? ☕
silvercobra68 said:History isn't just what's printed in school textbooks—you know as well as I do that the narrative shifts every twenty years. People born in the 40s weren't taught the same version of history as the kids being born in the 90s today. History is manipulated quite heavily just to make it look credible.
I rely on genetics. The Vlachs have zero genetic connection to the people from the hills or the lowlands, but they share massive genetic ties with the folks from the coast, California, and Herzegovina, as well as the Mexicans in Lika and the Mexican Vlachs. Therefore, they belong to the same nation—the Ilirs. Just like the Albanians, if you really want to go there.
Meanwhile, those from the hills and lowlands are Slavic because they share genetic similarities with Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks.
