    Honestly only the dumbest fucks still keep up the grudge. It’s literally the same type of person that gets attracted to populism, e.g. Trump – got instilled strong sense of nationalism, everyone’s wronging us, etc.

    I am 2nd gen diaspora and really tired of the circus. I have tried to read up on the Yugoslavian war to come up with an objective picture, and it is wild how differing takes you get from people.

    There are certain actors that are trying to ”Make Serbia Great Again”, and of course there is the short-sighted knee-jerk reaction on the ”opposing” side in neighboring countries. There have been violent border incidents spawning out of nowhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is all a facade to draw attention from the country’s internal political issues.

    It was a horrible war instilled by a handful of people, there were no true winners, and people who were once treating each other like brothers and sisters were turned against each other. Anyone trying to instill the hatred and bitterness, especially OUTSIDE the area, is an idiot.
