In 1995, the West trumped up Milosevic as Serbs opposed him.

Compare Croat opposition to the Tudjman regime. Note the popularity of a recent pro-Ustashe concert in Croatia. Compare Bosnian Muslim opposition to the fundamentalist Izetbegovic. Where’re the Albanians who speak out against the KLA? They either get killed or are threatened with such.

Lunov Agency – Beograd

The first mass demo was held on June 9, 1990. Then came March 9, 1991. Despite the tanks and 10,000s of riot police bent on breaking someone’s bones, the Serbs swarmed the streets and STOOD UP. They SPOKE UP.

So, don’t talk about “silence” and complicity.

No such protests had been organized against the Tudjman and Izetbegovich regimes in Croatia and Bosnia, respectively.

Moving on… Countless demos against Miloshevich across Serbia in the period 1993-1996. I ought to know – I took part in many of them. Or was I hallucinating?

Then came the largest demonstrations ever witnessed in the Balkans: 3 months of non-stop demos against Miloshevich during the winter of 1996/97. More than 1 million people took part in *every* city in Serbia — even in Miloshevich’s hometown of Pozharevats. I was one of those young folks who had had enough. Need I remind you that the West supported Miloshevich back then? They still needed him for their then-upcoming Kosovo adventure.

It’s very disingenuous (to put it rather mildly) of you to try to portray the entire Serbian nation as a bunch of complicit fascists and on a foreign website visited by 100,000s of people from across the globe. I take this as a personal insult, and so does my permanently damaged kidney; the souvenir from the 1990s.

Hopefully, the visitors will see right through this charade of yours. It’s an outright lie, as I’ve just pointed out by providing evidence to the contrary.

Where is this rabid self-hatred coming from?

I think that you’ve turned the thesis inside out. No words about everyday silence, about the silence of breeding frogs. The words are about violence and the silence about it. Several years ago, Serbs were closing their eyes on Milosevic’s regime, on the violence toward the regional countries, and got a terrible war, so many refugees, so many dead and disabled, etc.

Serbs have to talk about the violence. Serbs should never be silent anymore.

It’s all most people would understand without actually grapsing anything.

I propose: study your own language, take a linguistics and rhetoric course and think about ethics when taking a pen into your hand.

Otherwise, remain silent.
To put it simply: shut up

The prevalent delusion among those of the author’s ilk in Serbia is that self-hatred will lead to acceptance; that self-hatred will lead to approval. The more they’re being violated (physically, mentally, intellectually, economically – the list goes on…) the stronger the urge to be loved/accepted/approved of by the abuser. This is the mindset of a masochist.

What is being missed here is that the opposite is always the end-result. The more you grovel, the more despised you are. Someone ought to send them a memo.

This article is a textbook case of the so-called Other Serbia’s disease.
