Imagine a pan-germanism : a union with Germany, England, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
But, they already have THEIR world and they exploite Slavs
People fought twice last century, and died twice as well. Many lives were lost, and now that all this sh*t is done, you think people will simply forget what happened and happily join an utopian union...
Look, protagonist of EU, suggest that we forget on negative examples from past... etc, multiculturalism, tolerance, human rights (believe me they aren`t serious, they just manipulate with those phrases for conquest)
Now, all those phrases are available when we speak about possible Slavic Union, too. Just not only as phrases with double standards (empty words). We need that those things realy work and if we are capable to beat our prejudices, fears, night mares... if we are tolerant enough, if we aren`t racists on sub-racial level (then we also won`t be racists when think about other races), if we are multicultural and understand that all people has their rights, if we understand that Slavs are diversed because we live on a huge territory for thousends of years, if we know how our culture is great, how beautiful are Slavic languages, how interesting fact is our diversed approaches on Christianity... we would find that we are all good Pan-Slavists.
Did you ever think that way? How could one Pole be open and modern by all standards if isn`t capable to forgive and understand Russian (and opposite of course). Its a chalange bigger then forgive to German because biggest wounds/scars are those that your brother made on you.
In many occations, thru meny discussions, I found that I`m more open (Serbs in general) then many other people and, in fact that Serbs are much in front of era in which we live. That is tragic truth about Serbs. Reason for that, well... I think its about that strong colective memory in neo-cortex (because of constant sufferings in history), that Slavs were one. We Serbs can`t understand that our civilization need to extinct, no matter that others for their prosperity need to consume Slavic world (they don`t, but they think that way).
