Shameless

The great Serb poet Jovan Dučić, who sought refuge in 1941 from the atrocities of Nazi Croatia, once called the Croats the bravest people in the world, "not because they are fearless, but because they are shameless." Just to be clear, it was not meant as a compliment.

Almost every day brings new proof of Dučić's accuracy, from sieg-heiling on football pitches and smashing Cyrillic signs, to street "art" about hanging Serbs on willow trees.

But while the EU and its quisling cult constantly insist the Serbs apologize for the unforgivable crime of continuing to exist, there are no calls on Croats to apologize for their overt Nazism. Nor do Croats feel any urge to do so. Quite the contrary!

"Joe" Simunic is "proud to be a patriot." The sign-smashers and "artists" believe they are honoring the legacy of the "Homeland War." Because Croatia has been a loyal client of the Atlantic Empire and even more so of Berlin (being "rewarded" earlier this year with EU membership), there is little criticism of such behavior in the mainstream Western press. What there is, usually contains an attempt at moral equivalence, such as "Croatia fought a war with Serbia [sic] in the 1990s". So I guess that makes hating the Serbs OK?

A simple litmus test would go like this: Read anything in the mainstream Croatian press about the Serbs. Replace the word "Serb" with "Jew." See how that reads.

Now a Croatian grievance group in France has sued Bob Dylan and Rolling Stone magazine, claiming he "incited hatred" with a 2012 (!) interview, in which he said - among other things - this:
“Blacks know that some whites didn't want to give up slavery - that if they had their way, they would still be under the yoke, and they can't pretend they don't know that. If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood.”
Supposedly, the CRICCF was horribly offended because Dylan dared "compare Croatian criminals to all Croats." This is baffling. On one hand, isn't official Croatdom proud of their hatred of Serbs and service to the Reich? Also, doesn't phrasing it this way mean they agree the Ustasha - and their present-day heirs - are criminals? These, however, are hatefacts, and all you are supposed to do is focus on how horribly offended they are because Dylan - who, by the way, is an actual participant of the U.S. civil rights struggle - made a comparison that hit a little too close to home.

The timing of the lawsuit ought to be a clue: right as Nazi incidents in Croatia are out in the open, and Dylan has just been given a Legion of Honor. This is a PR stunt, pure and simple. Unfortunately, under EU's most-progressive-and-democratic "hate speech" laws, there is a more-than-zero chance a Parisian judge may decide the horrifying anguish of Croats in France upon being compared to Nazis and the Klan is entitled to financial compensation.

The ironic part about Dylan's statement is that it's the Croats usually sniffing around for "Serb blood" in people they dislike - an obsession even more absurd because the vast majority of Croats are genetically indistinguishable from Serbs. It's just that they were ruled by Catholic kings for over a thousand years, and their national identity was eventually formulated in the late 1800s (under the influence of Austro-Hungarian expansionism) as militantly Catholic, Serbophobic and anti-Semitic. Driven by that hatred, entirely unprovoked, they committed barbaric atrocities against the Serbs in both world wars, and again in the 1990s (having murdered most of the Jews in 1941-45). Call it a triumph of monstrous nurture over nature, if you will.

It would be interesting to see if any Serbs in France will file an amicus brief in Dylan's case, detailing all the Croat "contributions to civilization," such as Jastrebarsko, the only death camp for children in WW2. Not so much for Dylan's sake - I'm sure he can defend himself - but for their own. Because the untold numbers of their kin, "civilized" to death by the "bravest people in the world", cry out for justice - in this world or the next.

Nice article, but i cannot see how this will eventually help.

So Croats are pro-Nazis... Well they have to be if that means food on their table. That is the same everywhere.

But what percentage of Croats/Bosniaks/Bulgarians REALLY hate Serbs???

Let me tell you... less than 1%...

What percentage of GREEKS *REALLY* hate Serbs?? (hate their language, mentality, mannerisms, food, frinks )??

HUH???????

lemme tell you bro : over 95%....

So, lets all get our stuff str8 here... stop re-propagating hate speeches and WORK FOR THE FUTURE...

Croats and Serbs and Bosniaks and Bulgarians are *DOOMED* to collaborate ....

Bosniaks/Croats/Bulgarians are not Serbs' best friends... They are Serbs' ONLY FRIENDS...

CCCC Long Live the Slavs...

Blessed to be the man/woman/God who will at last unite the Slavs...

Till that happens, regardless of whether we support Serbs/Croats/Communists/Fascists/Neo-Liberals/USA/etc.... we will still be tools of Satan...

Let me make sure I understand you correctly: 95% of Greeks hate the Serbs, while only 1% of Croats do? I find that hard to believe.

As for the whole "Slavic Unity" thing... the Serbs have invested an entire century into the concept, and all we got was backstabbing, lies and resentment. Not to mention close to two million dead at the hands of those "only friends." So if someone else wants to try, they are welcome to it.

I was pretty explicit I think. Yes, 95% of Greeks hate Serbs (music, food, language, mentality) while less than 1% of Croats hate Serbs (music, food, language, mentality). The explanation should not be too hard even for a 5-yr old.

Proof : How many Serbian singers tour in Croatia? How many in Greece?

How many ppl does Ceca manage to gather in Sofia/Bulgaria? How many in ... Greece??? ummmmm.... zero ....

As far as Serbs investing in unity.... You can't count this western joke named Yugoslavia as serious investment.

If any unity comes to Slavs, it must be from inside, NOT THE WEST.

So, my friend, you could be right, if indeed there was an alternative. There is not. 25 years under the western sphere, Slavs saw even more death and depression than the worse kind of (supposed) communism.

I think the time will be soon to end self punishment.

The west, as you have spotted, does all she can to boost nationalism in the ex-socialist non-orthodox republics. If you think about it, what you do, is fuel this hatred, take the side of the defendant, act as if the attack is coming from those Slavs, while it is clear who pulls the strings. Under this context, i think you are effectively working for the murderers of Slavs...

The other day, you got crazy just because some Czech guy from Prague dared to wear some palestenian hat or someth.....

We cannot expect anything while the current Slavic intelligencija work at this level.

You gotta step out of the endless cycle, break it and show the others the way... By recycling western-imported hatred, i don't think it is too smart.

You can see it yourself. Now Slavs loose Ukraine as well... You think there this western threat against Russia right? Well you'll be surprised to meet one Ukrainian "grayfalcon", full of "Russia... no thanx" cliches...

Oh don't be an idiot. The Serbs pulled together a Balkan Alliance in 1911 (with Russian help, so no "West" involved anywhere)and successfully defeated the Ottomans. Next thing you know, the "brotherly" Bulgarians launch a sneak attack, because Vienna persuaded their German king to do so. Then they did it again in 1915. And in 1941.

You argue Yugoslavia 1 was a Western idea, but the Serbs arguing for it pitched it as Slavic unity. What happened? Croats. So Tito resurrects it and makes Yugoslavia 2 "more fair" by giving the Croats - and everyone else he could think of - statehood and nationhood. How did that end? With the mess we've been living in since 1991.

Trying to be all "brotherly" has led the Serbs to the brink of extinction. I say let someone else try - if the folks who've ever only served foreign conquerors are even able to conceive of something like it, let alone put it into effect.

And since you obviously don't possess enough culture to be civil in your comments ("i think you are effectively working for the murderers of Slavs" ... "you got crazy"), consider your commenting privileges suspended. Indefinitely.
