It’s a hyperbole of course there are some things which favored the Bosnians but likewise you can have Zionists saying NATO is pro-Palestine because NATO did a pro-Palestine thing once.

The process and end result was heavily Serb favored by NATO.

The casualty statistics as BE mentions in video chapter 2 “both sides are bad” (hey that’s what this argument is about how convenient) are also just telling by themselves:

83% of Bosnians killed were civilians. But “only” 10% of Serbs killed were civilians. This by itself basically proves that Bosnians did commit massacres on civilians but it wasn’t top-down policy like it was for the Serbs.

Certainly genocide is used as a convenient political term, (I’ve already watched that video quite a while ago) but even the Serbs were like “yep we’re doing genocide we want a state for Serbs only!”. Then they ordered top-down systemic massacres of Bosnians and Croats.

The “Republic Srbpska” went from 55% Serbs to 90% Serbs by genociding Bosnians

The Serbs enacting laws favoring themselves after the death of Tito did a great job of spreading those ethnic tensions as well. Sure NATO loves doing divide and conquer but it’s not a one-sided affair there.

And it in no way explains why NATO would block arms to the Bosnians while the Serbs had plenty of weapons leading to the one-sided massacres. Nor why they would reward the Serbs for doing genocide afterwards.

You can ignore a 30 minute video full of receipts and substitute in your own reality after adhomming the author but you are still completely unable to explain how the NATO weapons blockade actually favored the Serbs. In any case we’re done with this discussion you clearly have nothing.

That literally is what happened. NATO let the Srebrenica genocide happen willingly. All the receipts are in the video.

In any case it’s all adhoms against BE so as usual safe to say I’m right.

Everything NATO did favored the Serbs and the genocide at Srebrenica was the pinnacle of an example. They disarmed the Bosnians and then let the Serbs slaughter them.

It’s an anti-Western narrative. NATO wanted the genocide to happen to kill Bosnian Muslims. They blocked weapons to both sides because they knew it would functionally give the Serbs the opportunity to genocide the Bosnians. And they knew of the genocide while they were happening. In the end they rewarded the Serbs for committing the genocide. It’s all pretty clearly laid out in the video.

I’m not sure what you’re refering to

You’re defending NATO right now but good job with all the adhoms.

Can you address his arguments? If not shut up.

BadEmpanada recently made a great main channel video showing how this was one of Parenti’s worst takes and patently false.

yes but more than just the 9000 in srebrenica.

They kicked out Massie and MTG

People loved smoking too…

I don’t disagree but I also want to flip that around. I’ve been recommended stuff which turned out to be a massive waste of time because it was not ready for general use yet, despite people telling me how easy it was. Then after complaining how that just wasted hour of my time people said "it’s free you are not entitled to anything.

If Linux isn’t ready for general users then we aren’t entitled to waste their time by saying it is.

I walked him through how things worked once

And there’s why it worked.

X is a disaster. Wayland is an awesome display server but its input is a shit show for legacy software and software built around MS Windows quirks and this is a problem.

This is very true, but even after all this tine, somehow Wayland still doesn’t support many basic features and programs, making people (including myself) hesitant on the switch

Yes patience is important but people actually want to make the switch nowadays, but they still run into many issues which really need to get fixed in order for Linux to be a viable desktop OS.

Most good programs aren’t designed by billion dollar teams but by a few people (or even a single one) who pay good attention to UX and don’t treat it like a fifth class citizen. Linux is allowed to have the guardrails fall off for users who want it, but it’s 2026 and the experience for novice users is still worse than Windows 20 years ago.

Linus doing the world a massive favor by showing the flaws of Linux and still getting so much flak for it by the average Linux user is ridiculous.
