so for context, a certain person that may or may not have committed atrocities in the 90s, has died in the hague. and now the government itself wants to hold him a funeral with honors, and some people online celebrated his life. the combination of those two things have caused the anti-serb rhetoric to increase on the social media...
how is it my fault that the government wants to honor a person they see as a hero? how is it my fault some nationalists want to celebrate his life? âserbia doesnât belong in europe and this is whyâ and other similar bullshit iâve been reading the past few days online... how is it my fault what other people are doing? why shouldnât we enter the EU? only because of handful of absolute fucking idiots? being an EU member state would drastically improve my personal life. it would improve the life of many other people. donât i deserve a normal and dignified life? donât my fellow citizens deserve a normal and dignified life? how is it our fault for the 90s? i wasnât even born until 98. i couldâve innocently died in 99. how is the past MY FAULT? why should i be punished for what happened in the past? i just want the normal life, the one you already have. why is it so normalized to hate onto serbs because of wars? i didnât kill your grandpa. i dont support the fact some soldier killed your grandpa. war is a bitch and its something that should have never happened. but how is it MY FAULT? i wasnât even born back then. i didnât elect those people.
some people are genuinely stupid too. look at the tweet bellow

this is clearly meant to be a jab. but it is true. it is nor our fault, but the governments'. i cannot effect what the government of the past, preset or future decides to do. so how am i complicit? i can not support the government all i want but your guys' thorn in the eye is simply because i am serbian. its your guys' hatred that is pushing people to the other side. you guys give us no dignity and act like a normal civilian is at fault for what is happening.
some of us want normal and dignified life, yet youâre not letting us, because some of our fellows actually are in favor of the atrocities of the past. how do you think its fair to blanket-judge everyone of certain nation, just because how some individuals have acted? this isnât so âpeace, love and prosperityâ of you. youâre going against your own ideals, simply to hate onto serbs. hypocrites.

it gets worse when actual eu politicians are working towards us not being accepted. like why? why shouldnât we be a part of european world? we are already in europe, being an eu member is next logical step. and after that, maybe even nato membership, despite what happened in the 90s. we need to go further, we deserve prosperity, we shouldnât be stuck in the past. but it feels like you people want us to be stuck in the past.
you guys hate each one of us, because of the loud minority of mentally ill nationalistic people. none of you stop to realize that most of us are normal, educated and progressive people, just like you...
