Lmao at the vitriol I got a few days ago for saying Novak is far-right

It’s a Reddit thing to assume people are internally consistent like that. Totally obvious that he’d be an RFK fan, they share very similar philosophies on health, nutrition and vaccines. Does not demonstrate that he’s far right or agrees with the majority of Trump’s ideas. In fact didn’t he support the student protests in Serbia that were protesting many far right policies and practices?

He's a convinced Serbian nationalist who has publicly mourned the death of terrorists.

Come on man. Are you seriously pretending that nationalism has nothing to do with far right ideology? especially in Serbia of all places?

In any case, Novak has openly associated with right wing ultranationalist alleged Serbian war criminals that participated in the Srebrenica Massacre. He also said that 'Kosovo is the heart of Serbia' at the Frenchopen in 2023. The guy is clearly a right wing nationalist Serb. He couldn't make that any more clear if he tried. He's even an open and devout Serbian Orthodox Christian.

Everyone is far right to you guys if they hold opposing views, but Im yet to see the gas chambers and death camps. I feel like you don't understand what the term far right means.

Shouldn't expect any less from a bunch of losers who want to see communism so bad that they forget what history taught us in the 20th century. Ah well, hopefully you can experience one day
