German imperialism propaganda is so bad.

To quote Zizek:
The Balkans are the subconscious of Europe. The Balkans is always somewhere else. To us Slovenes, it Begins in Croatia, to Croats it begins in Serbia, Serbia sees itself as the bulwark against the barbaric Asiatic hordes of Islam and Albanians/Bosnian Muslims embody this. It also works the other way around. To Austrians the Balkans begins at the Karavanke (mountains on the border with Slovenia), to Germans Austria is too Slavic and barbaric, the French always see something sinister in the Germans and to the English the whole of Europe is some kind of Balkans, barbarous shithole (not the exact word he used, i took creative liberties)

Therefore, the Balkans is never right here. It is always somewhere downward, toward the East. "The Balkans are OTHERS." Yes, Yes.But I think this is a really important ideological category - because my friend Mladen Dolar had this wonderful idea that the Balkans functions as the
Unconscious of Europe - all of European traumas, everything that Europe isn't willing to admit about itself, the brutality, anti-feminism, militarism, all of this is being projected as the Balkans.

It also goes the other way around, the east projects degeneracy, sloth, greed, selfishness, scheming, and so on to the west.
Those western liberasts with their transsexual parades and open borders, not willing to sacrifice a few individuals for the greater good, what cowards and egoists.
