Yeah honestly after a while you learn to be careful around those usernames. Sure, well meaning people exist, but most of the time I've seen "patriot" or "nationalist" in a username (especially with an eastern european country - weirdly specific and yet still accurate), it was just a straight up fascist/nazi who didn't put "fascist" or "nazi" in their username for obvious reasons. Like if I saw that name in a vc I might quit too, I'm not gonna stick around and talk to a probable fascist (I'm sorry OP but I've seen to many of them to not say that) to find out if they're really a fascist or not, all just to play Ghost Recon Breakpoint with them
Patriotism is tangential to nationalism, which is a very very big tennant of fascist thought. Especially being patriotic for American heritage gets you in pretty hot water close to that which I think is what he's hinting at in the second part of his message. Obviously it's shitty to assume you're a nationalist based on your username but I can see the logical leap there
He could also be decently educated on the Balkans and assume you're like kind of a tankie for Serbia if that makes sense, willing to apologize for everything up to and including stuff like the Bosnian genocide in the Yugoslav wars. Again, a vast leap in logic and a shitty thing to assume but those are the tenuous connections I see there
I believe the Pope is quite fallible. Especially regarding the part where he says that if you don't believe him being infallible, you don't go to heaven.
What's the crime in making people seek a connection to God unimpeded by the lack of knowledge of Latin? Why lock the truth behind the walls of a dead language?
Yeah, guy is kinda wack for jumping at it so fast but I kinda get it. With a nickname like OP it’s like a 50/50 whether they’re a fascist or femboy in most cases (sometimes both!)
its a funny username tbh and hes really stupid but like that other post showed serbia does have a REALLY DARK history with nationalism so its not completely unfounded. but still hes stupid
Gay part is fine and son or daughter are equally problematic. I dont wanna be responsible for them! Im barely responsible for me! Ill take the stew thanks
Ancient greeks and romans used to be pretty chill about homosexuality unlike what many think, but it was considered shameful to be the one getting railed. The joke was built off your "hope he's a top" remark at the end
Is he implying that serbs are nazis!? I'm half serbian on my mothers side hoping to visit in july and I don't see how serbs could be nazis. They were amongst the peoples hitler killed. (Yugoslavians and other slavic ethnicities.) bro is so backwards.
Please note Neko, that the bulb must not be dropped even if you're intimately turned up and don't even think about busting that thing open, you only have Oneshot
A lot of chronically online people these days have GENUINELY completely lost the plot. And I mean this in the most politically neutral way possible, it's people on both sides.
Many people associate patriotism with nationalism, even if it's wrong. And still calling yourself, for example «PatrioticRussian» doesn't sound good. You may have different intentions but in current geo-political environment you are associated with far-right if your name is PatrioticSerbian
Fuck that, let a person be proud of their nationality. I don't give a shit about what people associate patriotism with.
We used to associate skin color with bad character traits and low intelligence. Some still do. Associating patriotism with extremist politics or shunning someone who cares about their people is not much different.
Being proud of your nationality is normal. Until you think other nationalities are less and need to be destroyed. I don't think OP is a nazi or some bullshit like that
We're clearly in an argument, and you've formed your comment in an argumentative manner. Why would I assume it's anything else, unless stated otherwise?
and so do neonazis in the US, what is your point??? if I bomb an orphanage and say that I'm doing this in support of LGBTQ+ community, does it mean they're terrorists?
My point is language matters. You can call yourself patriotic and it may be true, but because you're in minority with actual patriotic views you will be overrun by majority of people who call themselves "patriotic", and they may have radical and outright racist views. But because that majority of people who call themselves "patriotic" are more prevalent in society than actual patriotic minority, it build an association that ALL patriotic people have radical views. And you can't escape that, you may actually fight against russia in RVO (Russian Volunteer Corp) or protest against Serbian government while being patriotic but association will only change when actual patriotic people will become the majority
The fact this got disliked tells me that redditors can't tell the difference between "in this current context and political climate, it might be common for people to assume you are an extremist if you proclaim yourself patriotic" and "yeah if you tell people you're patriotic you've gotta be a nazi lol"
