Yes, let's move on, but it is terribly painful to move on when three or four
lefties who had never been to my country, who do not speak the language and
do not have elementary education in historical factuality, are trying to
deduct, according to the concepts they are holding to be universal, the
reality of my country, with unbelievable sort of impertinence. This, my dear
Luis, is imperialism, pure and simple. It comes from deep seeded imperialist
instincts that you have, as a resident of an Empire. Imperial arrogance,
combined with insufficient education and internet radicalism. Some of the
people here are , obviously, capable, or fortunate, to fight these imperial
instincts, inherited trough your education system. The others, like you, and
what's his name, are not, and this is the whole story. Only emancipation of
imperial education you have received , humble attitude of confronting
complexities regarding country you have never been to, and sticking to
facts, facts & facts, can make you a conversation partner, worth of having a
discussion with me.
When you learn my language ( I made certain effort to try to learn yours,
along with some others), when you spend some time living here, getting to
know the mentality, starting to breathe and smell history, we can talk
without boring repetition of arguments. Until you are not ready to stand up
to these challenges, your preaching to Yugoslav people what they should do
or they should not do, is nothing more than a behavior of an imperialist
missionaries. With a hammer and sickle instead of cross, but with same
prejudices and pretensions to docta ignorantia.
So, and this goes for you, for our Harvard mischief here, and all others,
learn about my country or live it the fuck alone! If you, of course, do not
share the attitude of your countryman Kisinger that " you should not stand
still only because Yugoslav people are so irresponsible to overthrow a
ruthless thug".
STOP WITH THIS DISCUSSIONS, please,
Andrej
